Bred by Tom Carruth and introduced in 2003, 'Neptune' is a stunning lavender hybrid tea that captures the mystery of the deep sea. Its large, high-centered, fully double blooms are a unique, smoky lavender with hints of purple, borne singly on long, cutting stems. The fragrance is powerful—sweet, citrus, and rose. The plant is upright and vigorous, 4–5 feet, with very dark green, semi-glossy, disease-resistant foliage. Its exceptional color, strong perfume, and excellent garden performance make it a modern classic among lavender roses.
