2022
2 to 2 feet
If you’re searching for a rose with a little mystery, Twilight Princess™ makes quite an impression. Considered the darkest purple rose we grow, her richly colored blooms unfold in deep shades of purple and mauve, creating a dramatic display against her compact frame. And when she begins to bloom, the real surprise is her fragrance: a powerful, exotic blend of bright citrus and warm clove that begs you to stop and take notice.
A cross between ‘Midnight Blue’ and ‘Lavender Crush’, Twilight Princess™ was bred by Andrew Barocco and introduced by Antique Rose Emporium in 2022 as part of our Pioneer Series. Her medium, full blooms arrive in small clusters and repeat in flushes throughout the growing season, bringing a touch of drama to borders, containers, or intimate garden spaces.
At just 2 feet tall and wide, this petite shrub puts considerably more energy into producing her extraordinary flowers than into creating a mass of foliage. Give her a sunny home and don’t expect her to be your garden’s greenery queen; she’s here for the flowers! With the right conditions, Twilight Princess™ rewards you with color and fragrance far beyond what her small stature might suggest.

We ship our roses from September to May. Other items ship year round.
At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
