Blue moon HT Raised by Tantau, Holstein, Germany. Introduced 1964. Parentage Sterling Silver seedling x unknown. Also known as Mainzer Fastnacht. This was reckoned to be the first 'blue' rose, though to be more like a lilac. A great achievement, nevertheless, as this was surely the best grower of all of this shade (including the forerunner and part parent 'Sterling Silver' which although pretty lacked real vigour). Fragrance and long flower stems add to the charm and make it irresistible to flower arrangers in search of the unusual. Medium upright grower.

….. 'different', or 'interesting'. Either of these fit 'Blue Moon', the best Hybrid Tea of this type. It has also the advantage of being exceptionally fragrant. For the best view of it, grow it under glass.  It was raised by Mathias Tantau from seedlings of his own, in which no doubt he had incorporated the lilac pink roses of  other breeders, and  almost certainly including 'Sterling Silver'. It was introduced in 1964. The original German name is 'Mainzer Fastnache , and in France it is `Sissl'.

Blue Moon Undoubtedly the best yet in the mauve or blue Shades.  It has attractive shape, clear colour, good petal texture, strong perfume, and is free-flowering. It gives a delightful effect in a massed bed.
