By the way this Outta the Blue (Heirloom baby band) is starting its second year. Planted this rose in June of 2010.

Beautiful rose and very nice foliage.

Lovely Jim, just lovely. Is it a little more purple than it shows or not ? I'm thinking it would look killer with either of your Easy blooms. That's one of my favorites to contrast.....orange and purple. I had a florist do the flowers for my FIL when he passed and chose those two colors as the mainstays. I'll have to see if I can find a pic of that. If you do boo-kets, try them together sometime.

Boxofrox,

Outta the Blue turns more blueish purple as it fades.
Depends on climate too.
Outta the blue is planted by orange Livin Easy.
I like purple & orange too...lol
Post a pic of your purple & orange...

See how the older blooms fade into a more blueish/purpleish color. Also, the camera does NOT capture the true color.

Some colors are hard to capture. That looks dark pink to me. I have Midnight Blue which is definitely darker. The way the buds are clustered, I would bet they are related ;-)

Looks very happy in your garden. The bloom color goes so well with leaves. Especially in the last picture. I really like the first picture - bloom is framed so nicely by the leaves.

Thanks for showing us Outta the Blue!!

Carol
