Plum Perfect Rose holds an intense plum-purple that does not fade, which is unusual since purple roses typically wash out to gray-mauve in summer heat. Rosa 'Korvodacom' grows 2 to 3 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide in full sun, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 10.
Bloom is continuous from early summer to frost, and the flowers are fragrant and carried in clusters on a floribunda frame.
The Sunbelt roses were selected for heat performance specifically, tested in conditions where most European-bred roses stop flowering by August. This one keeps going.
Disease resistance is high, so the foliage holds clean through humid summers with no spray program. The narrow habit, taller than wide, suits a tight bed or a spot between a walk and a wall. Cut back by about a third in early spring. Shipped on its own roots.
