Purple Pavement™ is a rugged yet elegant Rugosa rose that excels in challenging climates, coastal gardens and smaller landscape spaces. Despite its name, this beauty isn’t a groundcover rather, it forms a rounded, compact and bushy shrub with exceptional hardiness and dependable performance. Its reddish‑purple to violet‑mauve semi‑double blooms stand out vividly against deeply textured, crinkled green foliage. Golden centers add a warm glow, and in autumn the plant is adorned with bright red hips that extend its season of interest.
