I don't know about Minerva but if it's available there my best lavender is Love Song. It's a fabulous bloomer and has above average disease resistance. Smells good too!

Seil, that is an enabling picture of Love Song!

Blue Bayou from 2014. Diane

Here's 2014 Blueberry Hill. Diane

More lavender...Love Song 2014. I love this rose, too. She had just been planted probably a week before this, in very hot temps, and never stopped blooming all summer. Diane

How about some purple? Here's Twilight Zone 2014. Diane

And my favorite coreopsis, Mercury Rising. Diane

Love looking at everyone's roses. Here is a video of Minerva. It looks beautiful as well. I don't see where to purchase it though.

This photo of Minerva is just lovely.

I stand by the best lavender I've grown, Charles de Gaulle.

I like Angel Face, too, though it isn't the hardiest for me. The blooms are worth it. Diane

I only have Blue Girl for lavender roses. I am looking to get some more though. I love lavender and purples!

Too funny, SJN. He's a beautiful guy and I think he knows it. He must make some good fertilizer for you :)

Thanks jasminerose4u ! Yep we get a lot of chicken fertilizer around here and they eat lots of bugs too :)
