| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Sep 29, 2011 10:22 PM A truly lovely striped rose I had in my garden for about four years until it died one winter. I went out and got another one, an own-root one this time, so that even if it died back to the ground it would grow back again. I haven't had any problems. First one was grafted.

| Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Dec 19, 2019 2:06 AM Purple Tiger is legendary for its poor health. Its purple and white blooms are quite beautiful and dramatic, but the rose bush itself has many drawbacks. It is not a vigorous rose, its canes and branches are weak, and it is so vulnerable to black spot that it usually loses most of its leaves early in spring and remains almost completely defoliated for much of the season. It also seems to have a shorter lifespan than other roses, typically dying after only 6 or 7 years of life. [ Reply to this comment | |
