Extraordinarily Versatile Rose

If you have space for only one rose, please consider the elegant selection, Violet’s Pride (Rosa \’WEKwibysicpep’. ) This floribunda produces outstanding “best in show” blossoms on a vigorous, rounded bush. The scent is heavenly, like citrus married spice and they live happily ever after.
Inspired by the indomitable spirit of Lady Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham from the runaway television series, Downton Abbey, this rose has it all. Gorgeous flowers, wonderful scent, improved disease resistance and easy care maintenance. Check, check and check.
Now let’s have some fun! Roses like this can be grown as single “specimens” as part of a carefully curated collection. But what if we pushed the design envelope just a little together, shall we?
What if you included this fancy rose in a mixed border with rough textured Coneflower and airy Russian Sage? Would it rise to the challenge and show a bit more of its wild side?
Could you bring out it’s cool tones by underplanting it with silvery gray Lamb’s Ear or near a gray-green Olive tree where it will still get full sun? Or how about pairing it with spreading Juniper, Cotoneaster or Barberry bushes? The combination of rough and polished feels modern.
Could you plant this in large galvanized metal or glazed Tuscan yellow pottery containers along the edge of your patio to bring those gorgeous blooms nearer for closer study?
Perhaps it’s time to rethink roses. How can you play off their elegance against other plants as a fabulous foil? We think Lady Violet would approve!
No matter how you use this beauty in your landscape, You’ll love it.
