'Moody Blue' rose References
(22 Jul 2019) Includes photo(s). [From Fryer’s website] My Lovely Dad Fryniche) An intense blue-lilac tipped voilet then softening to a warmer lilac. Startling number of blooms. Fragrant. Glossy olive green foliage. Height 1 metre approx.
Magazine (2009) Page(s) 14. Vol 103. part 1. Includes photo(s). Actually introduced by Fryer's Roses in 2008, this novelty rose is causing quite a stir. The flowers are large, beautifully formed and deeply perfumed. At first the colour is blue-lilac, with the petal edges tipped with violet, but as the flower develops the colour softens becoming a much warmer silvery-lilac and unlike some Hybrid Teas in this colour range, it has strong vigorous growth that produces a wealth of bloom with good continuity. Resistance to disease is excellent too
