Notes
'Blues' rose (Rosa 'Blues') is a vine for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It grows in a bushy shape and bears medium pink blooms in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it in 2004.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Butterfly bush, and Blue jasmine.
