Overview
Escapade is a mauve floribunda from Harkness, introduced in 1967. The flowers are strongly scented, and the bush grows to about 1.2 m (4 ft) tall and wide. It holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit from 1994. Floribundas carry their flowers in clusters, so it gives a good spread of colour in a border; remove faded trusses to tidy the plant. A pleasing choice for gardeners who like soft, cool colours with fragrance.
