Notes

'Blue Girl' rose (Rosa 'Blue Girl') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant mauve blooms appear in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Reimer Kordes bred it in 1964.

Pairs well with Clary sage, Purple top, and Butterfly bush.
