Unexpected and ever-changing, the hardy rose 'Outta the Blue' intrigues with its double flowers in evolving shades, changing from purple-magenta to blue-violet, depending on the maturity of the flowers and the light. Lightly scented, it offers generous repeat flowering, from early summer until the first frosts. This rose forms a vigorous bush of 120 to 150 cm, with dense and healthy dark green foliage, very resistant to disease. Hardy and robust, it adapts well to Nordic gardens, colorful beds, free hedges or background plantings. 'Outta the Blue' is a bold choice for gardeners who want to think outside the box with a rare and evolving color, while maintaining great ease of cultivation.
