Burgundy Ice Rose Bushes

'Burgundy Ice' Floribunda Rose Bushes

Burgundy Ice is one of the darkest flowered floribundas, making a dramatic statement. The cupped, semi-double deep purple flowers are velvety and sweet scented. In terms of colour planning, they go wonderfully well with pink, cream and silver and it's stunning with a lavender border (have a look at Hidcote Lavender). It's a healthy rose with good disease resistance and glossy foliage. Flowering starts in June and runs through to the middle of October.

Great for your garden

All floribunda roses like good soil in a sheltered, sunny spot. However, the perfect location isn't essential as Burgundy Ice is perfectly able to deal with colder spots and can even handle a little shade. It reaches about 4ft (1.3m), so we advise placing it towards the rear of the border where it can act as a backdrop to lighter, brighter roses. It looks wonderful planted in a triangular group of three with 80cm between the plants.
