If anyone knows, please let me know.
‘Bayou’ is the German meaning 'Port', I can understand it.
But what language is ‘Bajou’?

Bayou is not German, but a term from Louisiana USA for flat wetlands found there. So it is originally a French word from USA. "Bajou" is incorrect, but used by many nurseries as a spelling variant.

Thank you everyone for your valuable information.
It wasn't a writing mistake at the time of registration, it was derived from American-made French.
I have learned a lot from your!
The original meaning of "Blue Bajou" was not "blue port" but "blue small stream"!

I realize this thread is old, but "Blue Bayou" is also a song, written and first recorded by Roy Orbison, then later by Linda Ronstadt.

I saw this Blue Bayou rose planted in the Rose Garden of Adelaide Botanic Garden in South Australia, and I was immediately attracted by its unique violet-blue colour and its beautiful flower form.
It is the bluest 'true blue' rose I have come across, and there were about a dozen of the rose bush in the flower bed. I also noted that that the older blooms hold the blue colour very well (they did not fade like most of the other "blue" roses, nor turned pink like some other "blue" roses).

As it was a very windy day, I could not smell much fragrance from the flower.
However, if there is anyone out there who had/has grown this rose, please let me have your comments regarding the fragrance / perfume of the Blue Bayou.

Thanking you.

Little fragrance but one of my favourite roses. A joy and a pleasure to grow.
Strong and vigorous. The colour is at its best in Spring and Autumn. Becomes paler at the height of summer so perhaps wise to plant it so that it has morning sun rather than the hotter afternoon heat.
