After living on a sailboat for a few years, I thought it appropriate to plant a floribunda rose marketed as ‘Ebb Tide’. She’s only been growing a few weeks in my garden located in Maryland Zone 7b, but already she profusely blooms in clusters of evolving purple. Surrounded by mini nuggets of pine bark, her petals exude a lovely fragrance and she fends off disease with ease. ‘Ebb Tide’ is a stunning, simple choice for your garden.
