A Blue Moon Bloom - Preston

I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past a house with a delightful rose garden all out in bloom. This included a "Blue Moon" rose bush, whose soft lilac flowers were too beautiful not to photograph.

 

Strongly fragrant, "Blue Moon" is a ravishing Hybrid Tea Rose with double lavender flowers of around forty petals. Blooming in flushes from spring to autumn, this bushy, upright shrub is ideal was bred by Mathias Tantau of Rosen Tantau in Germany in 1964. It is very popular for its strength and beautiful blooms.

 

Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
