bleu magenta>

bleu magenta is a great addition for gardeners in zones 5-10 who are looking for a large, hardy, shade-tolerant rambler. her buds open as dark rose-crimson, slowly changing to a deep purple, then fading to a beautiful violet color. in bleu magenta’s first couple of years, expect her blooms to appear more rose-pink in color until she gets established. her blossoms average 1” in diameter with 40+ petals. she is a once-bloomer that puts on a massive show!
