Mini-Flora, Patio.  

Mauve or purple blend.  None to mild fragrance.  Average diameter 1.5".  Large, double (17-25 petals), borne mostly solitary, exhibition bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, spreading.  Medium, glossy, dark green foliage.  

Height: 2' to 3' (60 to 90cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose, cut flower, exhibition or garden.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
