Diana Gratton. Myrtle Bank, South Australia.
Lilac Time HT. One of the earlier "blue" roses.  In my garden it is the first to produce blooms in the Spring and it repeats flowering.  The colouring is a lovely pinkish-mauve and the scent is lovely.

Dr. A. S. Thomas.  What Next?
Still more recently McGredy bred 'Grey Pearl', which is, to me, a thoroughly ugly rose, but it has been the founder of a new colour group leading on to 'Lilac Time', 'Kolner Karneval', 'Blue Moon', 'Sterling Silver', Orchid Masterpiece', 'Simone', 'Africa Star', Angel Face', 'Blue Diamond', 'Silver Tips', 'Lavender Lace', 'Silver Charm', 'Silver Star' (the nearest to blue that I have seen in hybrid Tea) and 'Lake Como' (a Floribunda, still nearer to blue).

Lilac Time
Jolie fleur parfumée, mauve nuancé de lavande. Pas encore la "rose bleue", mais une personnalité quand même...

Lilac Time has become very popular.  It is very lovely in the bud and pleasing when full blown.
