Is anyone interested in volunteers or cuttings from these ROS? I have 4, all different; these photos show 3 of them. The flowers on the 4th are purplish, but too high up for me to get a photo.

Photos 1 and 3 are the same plant. The flowers start off lavender/purple and turn blue as they age.

Photo 2 is a double-flowered pink variety. Conventional wisdom has it that pollinators can't access double blooms, but a bee was happily darting in and out of flowers.

Photo 4 flower is the same color as the photo 2 shrub, but is single-flowered. I have given a neighbor many seedlings from this shrub and they're always the same pink color.
