Not wot it sez on the box?

Hi all, bought this rose last year, called perpetual blue, it was not perpetual by any means, just the late spring flush and done. However it was its first year and a ratheer dry one at that.

It also takes a while to get blue, like this ...

opened this morning, beautiful colour but hardly what I call blue


This one opened yesterday, still not quite blue?


It is supposed to be a perpetual equivalent of Veilchenblau



so maybe in a few days ......

Cheers MIKE

 

Fingers crossed for you, Mike! How is it doing now? Any bluer??

 

Not a lot, not too worried though as the colour on opening is glorious, that deep velvety red; I was just a little annoyed that it does not live up to its name as yet.
Cheers MIKE
