Blue Girl rose

This rose is called ‘Blue Girl’ and is sort of lavender but looks pinkish in this light, don’t you think? My roses are finally blooming, after such a long wait. I thought I lost several in the hard winter we had, but now it seems all but one survived, which out of 19 isn’t too bad. I added lots of compost in the fall and spring, and they LOVE it, with blooms much larger than last year.

I love the lighting on this shot and am calling it my Best Post of the Week.

   Its a gorgeous color and I can see a light lavender tint on my monitor.
   Your macro is fantastic, as this beauty deserves.

   That is an awesome shot of that rose. I have one similar that is supposed to be blue. Not nearly as pretty as yours.

    I know very little about roses. This one is beautiful! At a glance I’d call it pink, but I can see how it could be classified as lavender.

    Oh she is a beauty all right! My roses took a beating this winter as well. I will remember to heavily compost and hopefully that will help.
