This rose is in its second year in my garden (Malta, z11).
The first year it had a main flush in May and then produced a single flower in the fall.
This year it had an earlier spring flush in April. It then produced a very light rebloom in early June. Now, in early August, I am seeing a cluster of flowerbuds forming on one branch.
The flowers from these flushes have less petals than the first ones, and ar a little darker in color, but the fragrance is just as wonderful.

2025 update: this rose has developed wonderfully in my z11 climate. It is actually living up to its nickname of "monthly rose" as it is almost never without blooms, although the first flush is the most impressive.
It has been disease free, aside from rust on a single leaf last year, which never manifested again after removing that one leaf.
It is grown in a gigantic pot, grafted on Laxa rootstock.

Hi, I have a saved catalog clipping about this rose, almost certainly, by the typography, from Moore/Sequoia. Could be from the 1980s. No picture.
It says:
BLUE MAGIC (ASAblue) Pointed buds open to double deep lavender flowers. Excellent color and healthy plant. 2/M

Sounds like it is a sister seedling to ‘Lavender Crystal’ (ASAlav) <1985 bred by Hitoshi Asami in Japan which Mr. Moore carried in the Sequoia Nursery in 1998. I have added the code name of ASAblue and suspect this is more correct than the ASAsblue quoted in the reference. Thanks Mina Rosemarie. I enjoy people who save things like catalogs and clippings.

The 1993 Sequoia Nursery catalog lists Blue Magic (ASAblue), with the description given above. The code "2M" means flower size 1.1.5 in, plant height 12-18 in.
