The Rosa ‘Blue Girl’, a hybrid tea rose with a rare and refined color, captivates with its large, double, lavender-mauve flowers with silvery undertones, whose cool hue intensifies in cooler weather. Its thick, silky petals form an elegantly turbinated, well-centered flower, borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its moderate, sweet, and slightly fruity fragrance adds a pleasant presence to the garden without being overwhelming. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit forms a structured shrub that fits perfectly in sunny borders or as a focal point in a pastel and purplish flower bed. Free-flowering and repeat-blooming, it offers several sustained waves of blooms throughout the summer. Its dense, healthy, dark green foliage highlights the delicacy of its color while exhibiting good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa ‘Blue Girl’ brings originality, softness, and elegance to the garden while attracting pollinators.
