Blooming repeatedly from midseason on, 'Intrigue' is a fine choice for those who wish to include a purple rose in their garden. Deep reddish-purple buds open to loosely double blossoms which are a velvet, rich plum color. Fragrance is strong.
Growth habit is bushy, and disease resistance is good.
Cold hardiness is, however, not exceptional, so plant the bud union two to three inches underground in zones 5 and above. All rights reserved.
