Hello

Nice rose look's like Nostalgie or Nostalgia at the moment, As you know there is no such thing as a true blue rose the nearest is blue for you, blue moon even these are shades of purple/lilac.

Do you still have the packaging or if not  the suppliers e-mail address.

Send them a copy of the picture above and see how they respond.

Sometimes thats why these items are sold in cut price outlets. Last year I bought horseradish from Wilkos and its not horseradish at all!! It was a yellow daisy type of flower ???

It's scorzonera, and they've been selling it as horseradish for years. I can't make out why people get so obsessive about a blue rose. Aren't the proper colour nice enough?
