The Rosa 'Moody Blue', a hybrid tea rose with a unique and sophisticated color, is distinguished by its large, double, deep lavender-mauve flowers with purplish nuances that evolve with temperature and light. The thick, velvety petals form an elegantly turbinated flower that releases a rich and sweet fragrance, particularly noticeable on warm days. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to harmoniously structure sunny flowerbeds or serve as a focal point in a cool-toned bed. Floriferous and remontant, it offers several waves of bloom during the summer, producing strong stems suitable for cutting. Its dense, glossy, dark green foliage highlights the depth of the color while ensuring good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Rosa 'Moody Blue' brings originality, intensity, and fragrance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
