Rosa ‘Ebb Tide’ is a floribunda rose known for its rich, smoky purple blooms that open into fully double flowers with ruffled petals. The colour is often described as deep plum to velvety violet, sometimes showing charcoal undertones, especially in cooler weather. Flowers are borne in generous clusters, creating strong visual impact in the garden from late spring through fall.

This rose is especially valued for its intense fragrance, combining classic clove and spice notes with a hint of old-rose perfume. ‘Ebb Tide’ forms a compact, bushy plant with dark green foliage that provides an elegant contrast to the dramatic blooms. As a floribunda, it offers repeat flowering and reliable garden performance, making it well suited to beds, borders, and mixed rose plantings where colour and scent are equally important.
