I really LOVE this rose for its changing colour, sweet & powerful fragrance, overall health, and excellent plant architecture. It performs beautifully here in my climate, and I had some decent germination from it this spring. Here are the first two:
The colour of both excites me, though I will probably let the single go…

A third seedling, in a brighter, redder colour, with a yellow centre. It faded out to cooler, pink/magenta.
I used pollen from ‘OtB’ on ‘Night Owl’ & ‘Benjamin Britten’, to promote better plant-structure and purple colours w ‘NO’, and as a “Why NOT?!”, w ‘BB’ because of the colouration of this third seedling, hoping for good plants and vivid colour from both parents!

Another seedling opened up today, and the full-double is still looking nice. Shape of the new one is a bit messy, but I like the colour and picotee. The plant beneath the flower is beautifully healthy too.
“Outta the Blue” is working for me!!
