Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Blue Girl produces large, silvery-lilac to pale lavender blooms that come unusually close to the sought-after “blue” coloring in roses. The flowers reach about 5.5 inches across and carry 30–35 petals, with their cool coloring displayed above olive green foliage. Long stems and a vigorous habit also make the blooms especially useful for cutting.
The flowers carry a light fruity fragrance, while the plant grows about 2–3 feet tall and wide. Blue Girl offers strong disease resistance, performs well in coastal conditions, and grows best in full sun with moderate watering. Its combination of unusual lavender color, long stems, and good cutting performance makes it a distinctive Hybrid Tea for both the garden and vase.
