A truly unique rose that earns its name from the blueberry-like appearance of its rounded, leathery foliage - especially when its leaves take on rich fall tones. This hardy shrub is nearly thornless and remarkably cold-tolerant, making it a joy to grow in a variety of zones.
Fragrant, semi-double blooms in vivid pink open throughout the season with bright yellow stamens that pop against the foliage. While it blooms primarily in spring, it offers an occasional encore later in the year.
This rose was bred as part of Dr. Robert Basye’s pioneering work toward thornless, disease-resistant roses. With lineage tracing back to Commander Gillette and Rosa virginiana, it’s a valuable addition to any landscape, especially for those who prefer a lower-maintenance, wildlife-friendly garden.

We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
