Is there an error in the height listed? I believe this is considered a short rose, under 2'.

While European nurseries give the height of 'Blue for You' as 90-100 cm, in Australia it seems to attain 150-200 cm. Who knows why' Different understock, climate?

English nurseries list the height as 60-90cm, and that is my experience here, so even smaller!

I assume mostly just the longer growing season. Middle of winter now (and the winter solstice just the other day so days are technically getting more daylight) and many moderns (and china's and polyantha's) like Blue For You are still sending out the occasional flower.

Blue for You gets to about four feet in San Diego, growing year round.

Yes in Australia mine reached 2.5 mtr high. Very upright strong growth. Does not like heavy pruning.

Are there any locations in the US which have this available? I'm interested in getting one, but I'm not having any luck.

The Australia patent site states 'Blue for You, was bred in 2001, not 2006:
"‘PEJAMBLU’ was the resultant seedling from the cross between ‘ROGSCRIV’ syn. Natural Beauty (seed parent) and an unnamed seedling (pollen parent) in 2001. "

Simon, I've altered the date from 2006 to 2001.
We have a pollen parent of [Summer Wine x Scrivbell] and I am reluctant to delete that in favour of .....unnamed seedling.
But I cannot find where we got that parentage from.

I'm assuming 'Summer Wine' x SCRIVbell = unnamed seedling so all is good.

Is it possible, that the other Summerwine (breeder: Warriner) is parent of Blue for you?

Looks more like a Bfy-Parent than Summer Wine bred by Kordes...

Possible, but I doubt it. We have:
Summerwine (hybrid tea, Warriner, 1974)
Summer Wine (climber, Kordes before 1980)
This latter rose received good reviews in England (see the Note and the 1983 reference for it.) and the breeder, James, lived in England.
The Patent mentions Summer Wine (not Summerwine) with unfortunately no code.
