Strongly fragrant, Rosa Blue Moon is a ravishing Hybrid Tea rose with large, 4 in. across (10 cm), fully double, lavender flowers packed with 40 petals. Opening from pointed buds, the exquisite flowers are borne on long stems, making them perfect for cutting. The deep green, glossiness of the leaves is a perfect background for the large blossoms. Blooming in flushes from spring to fall, this bushy, upright shrub is ideal for sunny beds, borders or containers. This rose prefers warmer climates.
- Grows up to 3 ft. tall and wide (90 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds and borders or containers. Great cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
- Bred by Mathias Tantau, Jr. (1912 - 2006) (Germany, 1964).
