Rose Rhapsody in Blue, Rosa 'FRAntasia', Shrub Roses
Rosa Rhapsody in Blue is a tall, bushy shrub rose boasting very fragrant, cupped, semi-double (16 petals), iridescent purple flowers fading to mauve-gray. When wide open, they reveal a bouquet of golden stamens. Rich with a strong, orange fragrance, the blossoms, 2.5 in. across (5 cm), are freely produced from late spring to fall and offer a lovely contrast against the medium green, semi-glossy foliage. Reliably repeat-flowering and disease resistant, this shrub rose is perfect for the sunny mixed border.
