Blue Red Girl
Gauthier Zitnik
Although disguised under the guise of 'blue', the clear clean lavender tones and large blooms produced by this vigorous plant makes her a breakthrough in the older lavender roses. Best form & size in cool weather.
While flipping through a catalogue that I had bought at the Tim Burton exhibition in 2010, I recognised the image on the back, which features a tall blue woman who is juxtaposed next to a bottle of wine. The wine bottle also features the image of the Jolly Roger, which contrasts with the shape and the colour of the bottle.
From a personal perspective the woman within the image does feature a similar appearance to Sally in the Nightmare before Christmas. Sally also features light blue skin, stitches, long hair and body parts, which fall apart during the film. Perhaps Burton used this particular character as inspiration for the Blue girl with Wine.

The Blue Rose: An ever-elusive goal that rose growers have chased after for hundreds of years. Many people are so obsessed with the pursuit that they dye cut roses to get the perfect shade, yet no one has been able to reproduce that naturally. 'Blue Girl' is one of the closest to a true blue, bearing a very soft, silvery lavender hue that is absolutely dreamy.
Reaching about 3 feet tall, this fantastic hybrid tea displays its rare beauty proudly in flushes throughout the season. The high-centered, petal-packed blooms are borne singly for maximum impact.

Grafted roses, sometimes referred to as budded bare root roses, have roots that belong to a different variety of rose than the shoots. While the shoots will grow into the variety of rose you've selected, the root variety has been specially grown and developed for hardiness, improved resistance to common diseases, and improved resistance to certain weather conditions. The roots on any grafted rose you receive are usually already two years old, so they'll establish in your garden more quickly when planted.
All Jackson & Perkins bare root roses are maintained in a suspended state of growth in our state-of-the-art wet cooler, so they'll be delivered to you with no foliage or blooms. The wet cooler has a uniform storage temperature set just above freezing and uses a fog system to provide consistent humidity of 100%, ensuring the roses remain fully hydrated and don't exit dormancy before leaving our facility. While you might see some variance in size, even within the same variety of bare root rose, all our roses meet the same rigorous standards of quality.
So, not sure which type of bare root rose you should choose? Don't worry, we've got that covered. We've researched which varieties of bare root roses grow better as grafted or own root, and both types can be planted in the early spring months, so just choose the variety of rose you're most interested in and get planting.
Though you might be surprised or intimidated when you receive a box of bare root roses filled with roots and shoots, rest assured, with the proper care, these little bundles will grow into stunning roses.
Container roses are typically available in 2-quart sizes or larger and come with established foliage that may or may not have blooms. While bare root roses should generally be planted in early spring, container roses allow you quite a bit more flexibility in planting time, from spring all the way through fall in many zones. Fall can be a good season to plant container roses because it allows them enough time to establish themselves before cold or freezing temperatures arrive.
Jackson & Perkins is one of the most recognized names in the gardening industry. In fact, for decades rose lovers have considered Jackson & Perkins synonymous with great roses. How has Jackson & Perkins earned this reputation? Simple, for over 100 years we have brought our customers the world's finest selection of roses.
From seed to market a new garden rose can take 8 to 10 years to develop. Every year, thousands of seedlings are grown but only a handful are selected to move into the trial phase. During this time, potential new roses are grown and evaluated in different climatic regions of the country. Our rosarians are looking for rose bushes that have stronger disease resistance, vigorous growth habits, and clean healthy foliage. When it comes to blooms, they are looking for improved flower form, unique colors, and strong fragrance.
Whether you are new to roses or are an experienced rosarian, our online store has rose varieties for you. Our website is packed with information. You will find each rose fully described and lots of articles and videos that will help answer all your questions. Our call center staff have decades of experience and are just a phone call away.
Jackson & Perkins is here to help you in every way on your rose-growing journey. There is no other plant in the garden that comes in more colors, fragrances, shapes, or forms, or performs as many functions than roses do.

Absolutely stunning!! Beautiful nursery inspiration for our baby girl arriving in April. I was wondering what song lyrics you have behind the crib. I read that they were not available but curious what song you have. Thanks!
Christina, Thank you so much for your sweet comments. The boxed accents are made from picture frame moulding. There is additional detail and some other examples of my accent walls on this post at kelleynan.comm.
This paper focuses on the headscarf of the Girl, specifically: the quality and production of the blue ultramarine pigment, other materials used in the headscarf, the stratigraphy and painting process, and how its appearance has changed over time. Girl with a Pearl Earring was last examined in the 1990s, but only one sample from the edge of the headscarf was available (and not published) [6]. In 2018, the painting was re-examined within The Girl in the Spotlight research project [11]. All of the research questions that guided the project were relevant to the investigation of the headscarf: What steps did Vermeer take (in the painting process)? What can we find out about layers beneath the surface? Which materials did Vermeer use and where did they come from? Which techniques did Vermeer use to create subtle optical effects? What did (different areas of) the painting look like originally, and how have they changed?
Ultramarine is composed of the blue mineral lazurite, which is the main component of the semi-precious stone lapis lazuli, and is a complex sulphur-containing sodium aluminium silicate with the formula (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(SO4,S,Cl)2 [19]. Its blue colour derives from the sulphur-containing radical anions inside the aluminosilicate framework. The mineral is typically associated with calcite, pyrite, and (colourless) silicate minerals [14].
The chromatography apparatus used was a Waters ACQUITY UPLC H-Class System. The column was a C18, 15 cm BEH (ethylene bridged hybrid) column with a pre-filter, used to separate the colourants with a solvent gradient of: (a) 10% methanol in water, (b) 100% methanol and (c) 1% formic acid. 5 L of the extracted samples were injected into the column with an auto sampler [22].
The Hirox RH-2000 main unit software (which was modified specifically for this project) was used to calibrate and display a live image, then to create full auto Z-stacked 3D data and to program a fully automatic XYZ acquisition with selectable overlap (offline tiling without any pixel size limit in the full scan). Stitching the 4.4 μm/pixel resolution images created an all-in-focus stitched image of the full painting at approximately 10 billion pixel resolution.
Macroscopic X-ray powder diffraction imaging (MA-XRPD) in reflection mode detected calcium oxalates and imaged their distribution in the shadow zone of the blue headscarf [29]. Calcium oxalates, like palmierite, are common degradation products in oil paintings, and here seem related to the presence of chalk [31, 32]. They may be held responsible for the whitish and patchy appearance of the shadow zone of the headscarf. The -FTIR-ATR analyses of samples 41 and 42, however, were not able to detect any calcium oxalates at the surface or within the blue paint layers. Although -FTIR-ATR is an effective method to identify calcium oxalates on paint fragments, the spatial resolution achieved here is limited to c. 4 to 6 m. If the formation of calcium oxalates is a surface phenomenon, the layer of oxalates would be only c. 1 m thick in cross-section, and this is below the spatial resolution of the present -FTIR-ATR instrument. It is also possible that the calcium oxalates formed in such low quantities that they could not be detected with -FTIR-ATR.
In a cross-section, a gradient within a paint layer can be an indication that a yellow lake has faded: the upper part of the layer looks very pale, while the bottom part still exhibits some colour [40]. In Girl with a Pearl Earring, the chalk matrix surrounding the ultramarine particles in the ultra-thin blue layer of sample 42 is completely colourless (Fig. 3b, c). If it originally contained a lake, the dyestuff has now completely faded. The UV-induced fluorescence image of sample 41 showed a slightly stronger yellowish fluorescence at the bottom of the blue layer, but this was not convincing enough to conclude that a (yellow) lake was present (Fig. 2b, c). Unfortunately, there was not enough material from either of these samples to confirm the presence of an organic dyestuff using UHPLC analysis.
