Moody Blues- don't you just love this rose?


Moody Blues is an unusual rose – it has strange colour tones, and is beautifully named. It seems to show a bit of blue, but more of a blue lilac tone with the petals edges with violet.

The colour is very, very subtle. As is Moody Blues' breeding – the well known Sexy Rexy and Blue Nile. My goodness, that pair sounds quite - romantic???

I saw this rose in the gardens at Rotorua and there were many Moody Blues in the rose bed, making a wonderful display.

The flowers are large, beautifully formed and brimming with perfume. At first the colour is a more intense blue-lilac with the petal edges tipped with violet, but as the flower develops the colour softens becoming a much warmer silvery-lilac shade.
