Blue Girl Rose
Rose Hybrid tea ‘Blue Girl’
Rosa 'Blue Girl' is an award-winning hybrid tea rose prized for its unusually colored, silvery lavender-lilac blooms and intense, sweet, fruity fragrance. Introduced by Reimer Kordes in Germany in 1964 as 'Kölner Karneval', this classic rose produces very large (up to 5.5 inches), high-centered, fully double flowers with 35-40 petals. The buds open dark red-purple, then shift to lavender, and finally age to a soft silvery blue, creating a dynamic, ever-changing display. Blooms appear in flushes from late spring through fall on an upright, bushy shrub with large, dark green, glossy foliage and minimal thorns.
