The beautiful, repeat-flowering bedding rose Rhapsody in Blue was chosen Rose of the Year 2003. Its dark violet, semi-double blooms appear all year round in large clusters and have an intense, spicy fragrance. Over time they become somewhat lighter without losing their effect. Particularly beautiful is the contrast between the clearly visible yellow stamens against the dark background.
Rhapsody in Blue grows as a medium-height bedding rose, upright and narrow, making it also well suited for a container. It can also be trained as a small pillar rose up to 250 cm. At a location that should not be too hot, it also tolerates partial shade. Foliage health may need some attention.
The rose variety 'Rahpsody in Blue' was named after the world-famous song by Geroge Gershwin.

This rose is a dream. I planted 3 this spring. They bloomed almost continuously all summer. This rose knows no diseases or pests. At my place it has reached a height of at least 2.2 m. I would plant it again and again.Automatically translated · Show original
This rose has stood in partial shade at my place for 4 years and I'm totally thrilled. She is absolutely hardy, easy-care, healthy and blooms and blooms and blooms...
The shoots are long and stand steeply upright, the flowers sit in clusters on the shoot. Simply beautiful and highly recommended!Automatically translated · Show original

Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, is all I can say. My two Rhapsodys looked terrible this year. I decided not to do any preventive treatments this year and they caught the black spots. At the end of the season they still bloomed beautifully, but without leaves. Tip: definitely treat them.Automatically translated · Show original
This year, with regular treatment against black spot, my two are in top condition. They are standards and simply look great.Automatically translated · Show original
