About Intrigue Bare Root Rose Bush

Rosa ‘JACpury’  Intrigue

Intrigue is a floribunda rose bred by William Warriner (USA) for Jackson & Perkins and introduced in 1982. It is celebrated for its unique deep plum-purple blooms that carry a strong, spicy fragrance. The medium-sized, double flowers are held in clusters and repeat freely throughout the growing season. Compact, upright, and very floriferous, this rose is a standout for both its unusual color and fragrance.
