Rose "Blue For You"

 

Every year I seem to post something about this blue rose. I'm not sure why it does so well in rubbish soil next to the side patio and an east facing wall. It does have rose food, but so do all the others. The above photo is from June.

The flowering is  finished in July and all the stalks are cut back. Then here we are in August and a second flowering. I counted more than twenty blooms last week. It is probably my prize specimen in the garden.

In September I removed all the spent flower stalks ready for winter. But this year, with the abnormally mild weather in October, more buds have appeared.

And now in the last week of October, there are flowers. Amazing.



Still flowers in November. This must be a first.
