Rosa 'Intrigue' (Rose 'Intrigue') is a floribunda rose grown for its rich, velvety plum-purple flowers and noticeable citrus-and-rose fragrance. You will get the best bloom count and strongest color in full sun, but it can also grow in part shade where summers are intense.
Expect a rounded, bushy shrub about 48-60 inches tall and roughly 24-36 inches wide, making it easy to place in beds, borders, and mixed shrub plantings. Flowers are produced in clusters and repeat through the season with regular deadheading, giving you color for weeks on end.
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and water deeply to help roots establish, then maintain even moisture during hot or dry spells. A spring feeding and a light midseason boost can keep growth and flowering strong. Mulch helps moderate soil temperature and reduces moisture swings around the root zone.
Prune in late winter to early spring by removing dead or weak stems and shaping for airflow. Remove spent blooms during the growing season to encourage repeat flowering. In colder parts of its range, add winter mulch after the ground begins to freeze to protect the crown.
