Blue Moon
Hybrid Tea Rose. 1964. 4ft This is deservedly the most commercially successful of the 'blue' roses being very close to the blue side of lavender. The flowers are large and full petalled with high centres and good symmetry of form, and they last well, finally opening cupped to show the stamens. Usually there is only one flower on the long stems, which makes them excellent for cutting. They are sweetly fragrant, and are produced through summer and autumn. Needs a little loving care to get the best results, but is well worth the effort. Highly Scented. Also known as "Blue Monday" "Sissy" "Tansi"

This is my twice in a blue moon

Twice in a Blue Moon
TWICE IN A BLUE MOON (Tan96138) Hybrid Tea Rose. 2003. 3ft-4ft A newer version of the ever popular" Blue Moon". Very similar in appearance but stronger, easier to grow and more disease resistant. The colour is the same, but the whole bush looks stronger and healthier. Undoubtedly our best selling 'Blue Rose' Like the old one the perfume is superb. Bred by Tantau in Germany who have bred many hundreds of very beautiful roses over the years. AWARDS Glasgow People's Choice 2006 Glasgow Tollcross Fragrance Award 2006 Monza Silver Medal 2004

Good morning @lost_in_france I did smile my friend and you gave me pause for thought,I take many photos of where I live as you know,and just realised that they are all the best locations,why don't I take some places that are, lets say a little bit less desirable we could have a thread called (The seedier side of life)
