Hybrid Tea Rose 'Moody Blue'

‘Moody Blue’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Moody Blue’). The Rosa ‘Moody Blue’, a hybrid tea rose with a unique and sophisticated color, stands out for its large, double, deep lavender-mauve flowers with purplish nuances that vary according to temperature and light. The thick, velvety petals form an elegantly turbinated flower that gives off a rich, sweet fragrance, particularly noticeable on warm days. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to harmoniously structure sunny flowerbeds or to serve as a focal point in a cool-toned bed.

To plant the ‘Moody Blue’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is as follows: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During recovery, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1 m (3.3 ft) to organize the plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.2 m (4 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
