More information
Striped roses became prominent in the 1980s and 1990s. Many breeders focused on them, and competition among cultivars increased. Purple Tiger has a distinctive color pattern—an irregular mix of purple-violet and white with spots and streaks, often with pink and lilac tones, with purple as the dominant color; suitable for floral arranging. Flowers typically appear in clusters of 3–5; repeat bloom is rapid, so the shrub carries flowers for most of the season. The variety shows some susceptibility to black spot; the shrub is compact, branched, and upright, and is almost thornless.
A purple-colored striped rose; susceptible to powdery mildew and black spot; not overly vigorous.
This new variety produces flowers in purple with white and lilac-pink streaks. It blooms in small clusters all summer; flowers are semi-marginal, with 26–40 petals, and are fragrant. Foliage is glossy; the shrub is low and almost without thorns. Suitable for flowerbeds; very susceptible to black spot.
Petals display radial striping in purple and white. Flowers have about 25 petals and do not exceed 6 cm in diameter. Once open, the form is flat. Mild fragrance with musk notes. Cyst-shaped inflorescences (up to 12 flowers) stand above the foliage. The variety blooms almost continuously; low habit (rarely more than 75 cm); fairly robust shrub. Leaves are light green and sparse. Used in mixed borders or where an unusual effect is desired.
