Meaning 'violet', Veilchenblau may be the closest to a blue rose available. Blooming in clusters due to its multiflora parentage, this spring-blooming rose is covered with very fragrant blossoms in mid-spring. The roses are a unique shade of violet, fading to a soft mauve, and have a bright golden center. Also known as 'The Blue Rose.' Zones 5-9.
