  Wild Blue Yonder

Wild Blue Yonder™

2006 AARS Winner - Up, up & away – into a wild new style of rose!  You’ll be ridin’ high over the saturated scent, bold new-fangled colors & camellia-like form.  The first lavender-toned rose to take the AARS award in over 20 years, clusters of ruffled ruby-red-purple blossoms give a great show of distinct lavender ‘eyes’.  Clean deep green leaves make this Grandiflora a mean bouquet machine for the garden.
