| I visited the Inez Parker Grant Memorial Rose Garden a month ago and thought this rose was Wild Blue Yonder but now I am not sure. I do not believe it is Blueberry Hill and wonder if it is Outta the Blue. Are any of you all familiar with this rose and can identify it.

| Pretty sure it is not Outta the Blue, but very hard to tell from the angle of the blooms. OTB has more yellow tone on the inside of the blooms and tends to hold the blooms strongly upright with very little nodding. These pics look much more similiar to Wild Blue Yonder. |

| I have no idea BUT here's pics of OTB blooms I took a couple years ago...

| I grow both, and from the angle it is hard to tell, but I'd vote WBY over OTB. Wild Blue Yonder has larger, more ruffled blooms with a lighter mauve center on a tall, vase shaped bush. OTB blooms start out bright purple with the yellow base and fade to a soft mauve with white base. OTB is a large shrub form, and mine is nearly thornless. Here are bush shots of both of mine: Wild Blue Yonder

| Thank you all. It appears to be Wild Blue Yonder. I had it labeled Wild Blue Yonder. Now, off to figure out the identity of the other rose from a rose garden tour. Lynn |
