Rosa ‘Wild Blue Yonder’, a grandiflora rose with a bold color and intense fragrance, stands out with its large, double, plum-mauve flowers with lavender and raspberry highlights, whose hue subtly evolves depending on the light and temperature. The slightly wavy petals form an expressive and characterful flower, produced in generous clusters on long, sturdy stems. Its powerful, rich, and fruity fragrance is one of its major assets, particularly appreciated near living areas. Very free-flowering and repeat-blooming, it offers a sustained succession of blooms throughout the season. Its upright and vigorous habit creates a beautiful structured presence in flowerbeds, while its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage contributes to good general resistance. Rosa ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ brings originality, chromatic intensity, and olfactive richness to the garden while actively attracting pollinating insects.
