Mamy blue

Mamy blue, Delbard 1984

Hybrid Tea 

Lavender, mauve colored typical HT shaped buds and flowers. The buds come in small clusters. Although this rose has blue in its name the bloom itself isn't. So many photos of this rose have been done with Photoshop to enhance the blue color so don't be disappointed when this rose isn't that blue in your garden.
This rose has a very strong delicious fragrance and it adds to her beauty. 
100X70 cm or 3X2 feet. Blooms in flushes throughout the season. Pretty rain proof. Zone 6b to 9b

Back in 1984 the HT's still ruled supreme but mauve/Lavender colored HT's were rare and especially with a strong fragrance. Today we have several of these roses but Mamy blue still holds her ground. It's a beautiful typical HT with a lovely fragrance
