Blue moon HT Raised by Tantau, Holstein, Germany. Introduced 1964. Parentage Sterling Silver seedling x unknown. Also known as Mainzer Fastnacht. This was reckoned to be the first 'blue' rose, though to be more like a lilac. A great achievement, nevertheless, as this was surely the best grower of all of this shade (including the forerunner and part parent 'Sterling Silver' which although pretty lacked real vigour). Fragrance and long flower stems add to the charm and make it irresistible to flower arrangers in search of the unusual. Medium upright grower.

Isabel de Ortiz HT Raised by Kordes, Holstein, Germany. Introduced 1962. Parentage unknown. Deep rosy pink with a silvery reverse, a true bi-colour with the novelty appeal.

Mischief HT Raised by McGredy, Auckland, New Zealand. Introduced 1961. Parentage Peace x Spartan. Coral salmon. Tiny buds first start to show colour when they are the size of the tip of your little finger, yet develop into big broad exquisitely-shaped fragrant blooms. Left alone the blooms grow in clusters and provide a mass of colour. Disbudded they provide cutting roses that can often reach exhibition quality. The winner of the RNRS President's Trophy with high points for fragrance and vigorous disease-free growth. Medium bushy habit.
