Our rose expert’s reccomendation
Blue for You
Dwarf Polyantha
Long buds open to semi-double flowers with prominent stamens and a sweet scent, reminiscent of violets. Initially rich purple-mauve, they fade to a startling slate blue. It flowers freely and almost continuously. Very healthy, rounded growth. James, 2007.
