The Story
Sweet Madame Blue is a dream for lovers of lavender roses, opening clustered double blooms of soft lilac-blue brushed with magenta at the heart. The color stays remarkably steadfast, refusing to scorch even under hot summer sun. Carried on a shapely, rounded plant, the flowers arrive in generous flushes from summer into fall. A rich citrus-spice perfume makes them as wonderful in a vase as they are in the border. Plant it in full sun, where it reaches three to five feet and rewards you with steady, fragrant bloom. For a romantic, unusual color that truly performs, Sweet Madame Blue deserves center stage.
