The Purple Curls of Winter
One of the pleasures in my life is to go for a stroll in the sunshine. There is great joy and much delight in tarrying along the way to stop and smell the flowers - especially roses - and photograph them too!
It is another leaden grey sky day here today, so all the more reason to inject a little light and colour from one of my previous strolls a little over a year ago, last winter. In June of 2023, I was lucky enough to see one of the last blooms on this 'Blue Moon' rose bush in the well maintained garden of an Edwardian bungalow.
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.
