Overview
Novalis is a lavender floribunda rose bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes and introduced in 2010. It was patented in the US as PP23555 in 2013 under the code name 'KORfriedhar'. The scent is light, and plants grow to roughly 31 in (80 cm) tall, which keeps them in proportion for a mixed border or a large container. The patent notes very good disease resistance in the breeder's trials, and it records cold hardiness to USDA zone 5. A practical pick for gardeners who want an unusual lilac shade on a compact floribunda.
