Know before you buy
This is a repeat-blooming variety, meaning you can expect consistent flushes of flowers from early summer through early fall.
No, it features a self-cleaning habit, which means the plant naturally sheds its spent blooms, reducing the need for constant deadheading.
Yes, the Plum Perfect is specifically bred to be tolerant of hot, dry conditions, making it a reliable choice for regions with intense summer heat.
Absolutely. The old-fashioned, fully double flowers have a sturdy structure and a mild, sweet fragrance that makes them excellent for cutting and displaying in vases.
Like most roses, this variety performs best in well-drained soil. Ensure your planting site does not stay waterlogged to maintain the health of the root system.
Since this rose reaches a mature width of 3 feet, you should space them at least 3 to 4 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation and prevent overcrowding.
