Standard Rose
Rosa Rhapsody in Blue
Large, loosely double, deep purple blooms which possess a delicious, fruity-floral scent and gently darken to slate-blue as they mature. This is a vigorous, easy-to-grow variety with a bushy, upright habit and healthy, finely-toothed, glossy bright green leaves. The intensely perfumed blooms appear repeatedly in large clusters from July to September, making it perfect for growing near an entrance, path or window where its fabulous fragrance can be fully appreciated. Winner of Rose of the Year Award in 2003, this striking Floribunda standard is the closest the world has seen to a blue rose.

Garden Care:
Dependent on the time of year you buy our roses, the compost may break away when removing from the pot because they are field grown and potted in autumn. Prior to planting trim the roots to 25cm and the stems to 15 to 20cm taking care to cut diagonally away from and above an outer facing bud. Mix compost in with the back fill and a potash based fertilizer.
