Saphir (蓝宝石) is a Tantau garden rose introduced in Germany in 2015, known for its elegant blue-purple blooms and refined ornamental appearance. This live rose plant produces softly translucent flowers with delicate porcelain-like petals, ideal for garden beds, patio containers, borders, and collector rose gardens.

The plant grows approximately 130 cm tall and produces blooms around 8 cm across. Flowers have a gentle medium fragrance and a distinctive blue-purple color rarely found in garden roses. This variety is rain tolerant with moderate disease resistance, showing better resistance to black spot, though foliage may be susceptible to powdery mildew under adverse conditions.

Important Note: You will receive a live starter plant. Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. Actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
