Rosa 'Twilight Zone' | Twilight Zone Grandiflora Rose
DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Twilight Zone’ is a grandiflora rose that bursts into bloom with very double, old‑fashioned flowers in deep velvety purple through mauve tones. The blooms open from large, fat buds and carry a strong, spicy‑clove and citrus fragrance. They appear in clusters and repeat from late spring through fall, standing out against glossy dark green foliage with a semi‑gloss texture that remains clean and elegant.
Bred by Tom Carruth and introduced in 2012, its color deepens in cooler temperatures. ‘Twilight Zone’ is especially prized for its dramatic hue, intense scent, and suitability for cutting gardens or display plantings.
