'Blue Moon' baby
A baby 'Blue Moon' hybrid tea rose, photographed late this afternoon, at about 6.30pm, as the sun was setting over the rose gardens at Baulkham Hills, in Sydney.

Roxborough Park Rose Gardens, at Baulkham Hills, in north-western Sydney.
A new batch of 'Blue Moons' has just arrived at the Roxborough Park Rose Gardens, and so I travelled out to Baulkham Hills late this afternoon to photograph these roses, arriving about one hour before sunset.
There are 'wall to wall' garden beds of 'Blue Moon' hybrid teas, including the one above. There are numerous mature 'Blue Moons' in full flower, as well as an army of 'Blue Moon' baby buds, such as the one above. It is a garden city of fragrance, because 'Blue Moon' is a highly fragrant hybrid tea-rose.
The 'Blue Moon' hybrid tea-rose was bred in Germany. It was introduced to the world by German rose growers in 1964.
It is a lilac or lavender coloured rose, even though it is named as being "blue". It has very few, if any, thorns. And it is highly fragrant.
Roxborough Park is one of Sydney's most amazing rose gardens maintained by the Hills Shire Council. The collection of 'Blue Moon' hybrid tea roses is the finest and most extensive that I have seen anywhere.
