Nothing so "blu" about this rose for me in my Southern CA climate. It always takes on a harsh streaky magenta tone and not what I expected at all when I bought it seeing "blu" was in the name. I also detect no fragrance and the packaging said it was very fragrant so I'm not happy about that. It's proven to be vigorous, and healthy but other than that it's a boring streaky looking magenta rose (which I have many) for me with fast blowing blooms.
Beautiful form and color. The only problem is how fast the bloom opens. Still there are alot of blooms and they are so pretty when first opening that this is still a nice one to have.
i have purchase Deja Blue this season from Two Sisters Nursery. Wonderful strong scent. I will post as to its zone 6 hardiness for the winter. I noticed that Jackson & Perkins is now selling the rose, wonder why and how they are labeling it as a hybrid tea and not a mini flora, if i had purchased this rose as a hybrid tea from them i would be floored once it bloomed.
I entered the registration to the HMF database and just double checked with the American Rose Society MR 12 database to confirm the spelling and punctuation. We do have the rose listed as it was registered.
