Picked up a potted Blue Moon a month or so ago. The nursery had most of the lavender/mauve coloured roses close together and Blue Moon does stand out as being a cooler toned colour than others there.
Did have a a fair bit of black spot and health looked fairly typical for older modern varieties....it's not so bad at the moment, maybe because it's no longer root bound, new leaves may be more resistant to infection, could also just be the heat killing the BS spores as summer heat approaches.

I have had a Blue Moon growing in my zone 5b garden for over 5 years. Every year it grows over 6 feet tall, and has dieback down to the snow line or below. The flowers are huge and fragrant. I once had a bloom in December a few years ago. The trick might be that I planted it only about 12" from my basement at the foot of my house, on a south-southeast facing wall. It is protected from the worst winds and may benefit from heat seeping from my 1800's fieldstone basement... I also grow a Pink Peace similarly, again 5 + years old.

'Blue Moon' and 'Cl. Blue Moon' are both being offered for sale again this year by Burgess Seed & Plant Co. Would anyone happen to know if the Burgess 'Blue moon' is correctly named?
