Letztes Jahr hier als Containerrose gekauft kam sie schon blühend bei mir an. In diesem Jahr hatte sie schon einige Blüten mehr. Sie blüht erst in einem bläulichen Weinrot auf, verändert sich im Laufe der Blüte in ein Blau-Lila mit hübschen Sprenkeln. Diese Rose ist was ganz besonderes. Ein Must-Have für Liebhaber extravaganter Rosen.
Meine Alain Blanchard habe ich vor 2 1/2 Jahren gekauft und seitdem steht diese robuste Rose jedes Jahr in voller Blüte, sogar im ersten Sommer schon. Da wir im Alpenvorland wohnen und unser Garten zudem noch an ein Moor, wo es erfahrungsgemäß noch ein Stückchen kälter wird als normal, grenzt, ist es schon erstaunlich, wie wenig dieses Klima die Blühfreudigkeit dieser Rose beeinträchtigt.
