'Blue Mist' rose Reviews & Comments

My HMF:

☐ POST COMMENT

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

This rose is described as a "micro-miniature" on its profile yet it grows 90CM X 90CM.	REPLY

I have searched for, and added, more references. It seems "micro-miniature" was perhaps not correct and I have replaced that with polyantha.	REPLY

It looks almost pure Rosa multiflora 'Nana'. Maybe its precocious ability to produce flower buds still whilst practically at the cotyledon stage earned it the name micro-miniature.	REPLY

Yes. Its looks had me skipping to the page for our discussions and photos in R. Multiflora nana perpétuelle.	REPLY

I love this rose: compact round shape, lacy-lavender clusters, tiny harmless prickles. It's a stunning beauty while in bloom, there's a short pause between flushes. Yes, there's a nice scent in cool and damp weather. I have to lower the pH of my alkaline water for its multiflora parentage. Survives nine zone 5a winters as own-root and gets larger & better with each year.	REPLY

This is a remarkable small shrub, much more like a Polyantha than a modern miniature. It is one of very few roses in my garden that is completely immune to Blackspot and Mildew. Allowed to build up growth every year it will make a very attractive, rounded 3 X 3 foot shrub.

Ralph Moore lists its parentage as "Rosa Polyantha Nana Seedling". Ploidy unknown but I suspect it is diploid. It is highly fertile as a pollen parent and forms seeds readily.
