PURPLE BREEZE^® rose belongs among the deepest coloured varieties available today. It is a floribunda type rose bred by NIRP International, France, and introduced as Purple Rain in 2017, and only one year later renamed to PURPLE BREEZE^®. It produces 8-10 cm large, semi-double, cup-shaped flowers of deep purple violet colour. Almost no perfume. They come out repeatedly from late June until late October. Deciduous leaves are dark green, glossy, and healthy unless the summer is rainy and too humid, then a treatment against powdery mildew may be necessary. The variety forms an upright shrub 70-80 cm tall.

Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.

Pruning: Cut the branches in half in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts. During the flowering season prune flowered stems regularly and follow a regular feeding programme.
