Moonlight Magic

Moonlight Magic is a Hybrid Tea rose that bears the sweetest Lavender blossoms. It is one of the most fragrant of all the roses. (But you won't find that information on the label) At best, the label says "Mild fragrance", but anyone that smells this rose knows otherwise!

A very sought-after, but sometimes hard to find rose. Learn more below:

This rose is beautiful in garden beds, and borders,it also makes a nice container rose. They make great cut flowers, that always make the recipent comment on the fragrance. If you grow this rose, you will want to cut some for the house!

This rose can be a bit delicate,and needs protection from hard freeezes, but it is certainly well worth the extra trouble.

The beautiful mauve color deepens in cooler weather.
