Saphir Rose Live Plant – Blue Purple Tantau Garden Rose
Saphir (蓝宝石) is a Tantau garden rose introduced in Germany in 2015 and admired for its elegant blue-purple blooms and refined ornamental appearance. This live rose plant produces softly translucent flowers with delicate porcelain-like petals, making it especially suitable for garden beds, patio containers, borders, and collector rose gardens.
The plant grows approximately 130 cm tall and produces blooms measuring around 8 cm across. Flowers carry a gentle medium fragrance and display a distinctive blue-purple coloration rarely found in garden roses. This variety is rain tolerant with moderate disease resistance, showing slightly better resistance to black spot, though foliage may be susceptible to powdery mildew under adverse growing conditions.
