Rose Blue For You - Shrub Rose

An unusually-coloured floribunda rose, Rosa Blue For You is a deciduous shrub rose with a neat, upright, rounded habit, lovely grown in a border or as part of an informal, flowering hedge. The divided leaves are a rich green. Long, purplish buds open to lilac, semi-double flowers with a boss of golden stamens and a blush-white base to the petals; as the flowers mature, they turn bluer and the stamens become more prominent. The flowers have a sweet, violet-like scent; they are borne freely in clusters and repeat almost continuously for several months if dead-headed. Shrub rose Blue For You is disease-resistant, and good for pollinators.
