The Arctic Blue Rose

This is Arctic Blue. The winner of the Best Overall rose and of Portland&Best Rose. 2022 The color is described a few, different ways. - "Lilac pink blooms that fade to lavender blue with a cream reverse." - Or, "chilled by the unique lavender blue finish -- with gold eyes -- and iced with a cream color on the reverse of the petals." - Even, "Mauve, or a Purple And Mauve Blend." The one thing everyone agrees on. It is not blue. The blossom&bloom is fully double. Or full, with 26 to 40 Petals. Sellers describe this rose as - "A beautiful Floribunda type that bears fully double, fragrant, blooms." - "Shapely flower buds open slowly, as if they were frozen in time at their most beautiful stage for longer enjoyment. The vigorous plant is dressed with glossy green winter jacket leaves, allowing the plant to produce a nonstop snowstorm of flowers." - "The Arctic Blue has an elegant Victorian look and feel. This profusion of uniquely colored flowers sits against a background of large, dark leaves that make the blooms even more pronounced in the landscape." Neither blue. Nor arctic. This is the Arctic Blue rose.
