I recently received my potted Minerva standard rose. The delivery was very fast and the packaging was serious and appropriate. The plant arrived very fresh and in perfect health. I was able to plant it immediately and now I am eagerly awaiting spring to see it bloom!

The 'Minerva' Rose is an astonishing Belgian creation for two reasons. Unique for a floribunda, its double roses are remarkably fragrant and, furthermore, have a unique mauve-violet colour that absorbs light in a remarkable way. Developed in 2004, this compact bush rose has only been on the market since 2010. In addition to its extraordinary flowering, it also has good disease resistance. This well-bred variety, awarded for its fragrance in Saverne in 2008 and in Madrid in 2011, is undoubtedly destined for a bright future in our gardens. Its modest size also allows it to be grown on a terrace or balcony, in a carefully chosen large pot.
The cluster-flowered rose 'Minerva' is part of the floribunda roses, obtained through the cross-breeding of polyantha roses and tea roses. These plants are characterised by their long and abundant flowering, in the form of clusters of larger flowers than those of polyanthas. 'Minerva' is the result of the cross-breeding between the varieties 'Sharon's love' and 'Marie-Louise Velge', whose flowers, curiously, are white.
'Minerva' forms a small bush that is on average 75cm (30in) tall and spreads 60cm (24in) wide, thorny, vigorous, and bushy, with beautiful abundant and healthy foliage, of a slightly shiny dark green colour. Its flowering is remarkably long, lasting 5 to 6 months when in bloom. This bush continuously produces its very double, informal corollas, in slightly flattened cups, measuring 7-8cm (3in) in diameter, formed by 26 to 40 thick-petaled flowers with a satin finish. They are gathered in generous terminal clusters. The tightly closed buds open into extremely fragrant roses with a slightly more relaxed appearance. The exact shade of the flowers, from blooming to full bloom, is a deep mauve-violet, with some touches of bright pink to magenta. They reveal a beautiful crown of golden stamens when fully open.
Floribunda roses make beautiful small hedges, planted mixed at the edge of the terrace or in small shrub beds. Combine them with abelias, perovskias, or caryopteris, for example. They are good companions for panicle phlox and tall baby's breath. They can also be planted in groups of 5 as isolated plants in a small garden; surrounded by a border of catmints or carnations, they will form a beautiful mass of flowers throughout the season. Purple or mauve roses also pair well with the pink flowers of foxgloves, lavateras, or diascias, for example. Their combination with pale yellow flowers (Iceland poppies, Digitalis lutea) or soft orange (Agastache rupestris, 'Angel's Choir' Poppies, Dahlias) is more daring, but these complementary shades enhance each other. The modest size and extraordinary flowering of 'Minerva' make it a very interesting variety for growing in large pots.
Creation: Martin Vissers (Belgium) in 2004.

Botanical data
Plant this floribunda rose from November to March, in ordinary, well-loosened and free-draining soil. Roses prefer clayey soils, rather heavy than light. In soil that is too sandy, too compact or too dry in summer, it is preferable to bury compost, decomposed manure or leaf-mould at the bottom of the planting hole. However, this rose dreads waterlogged soils in winter. Place it in a sunny position, at most in partial shade. Roses are greedy plants, a specific rose fertiliser application will be beneficial when the foliage emerges, then regularly during the entire flowering period.Â
To encourage re-blooming, regularly remove faded flowers. Floribunda rose varieties are more vigorous and floriferous than large-flowered rose varieties. Therefore, the stems should be pruned to about a quarter of their length (4 to 6 buds from the base of the stem) at the end of winter. Always prune above an outward-facing bud, so that the bush thickens and the branches do not become tangled in the centre of the shrub.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
