Congratulations, Roger!
'Never saw blue a bloom like this before.
'Looks like it's thriving.
....... compliments of the gardener's loving care.
Would love one in my garden too.
But it wouldn't survive transport to Ireland.

Hi Belinda, If this was an established plant, it would have been flowering throughout the summer months but, as it had been in the nursery until I planted it in September, this was the first chance it had. Roses can continue to flower this late in the year but I didn;t expect this one to start as late as this. But, there are five more buds coming! I hadn;t thought of pressing one. I might try that... but not in the book! Roger

Hi Roger and Belinda, The late blooming may also have been prompted by the last few days being unusually warm for November. Here in Hampshire it was18 degrees C (64 F) and sunny yesterday - and I bet it was similar in West Sussex, Roger As Hayley might say sing... The Last Rose of Summer but hey... in November? Cheers from warm and sunny Hampshire, Dave

My rose bush is still in bloom. I was out in the sunlounger yesterday. Couldn't believe the thermometer...95F (at 12.20pm in the sun admittedly !) Too nice to do any gardening so I sat back with a good book !

Hi Roger,
Thank you for the info.
I emailed Apuldram some time ago to see if they had any agent in Ireland. No joy though!
They will send only bare-rooted roses to Ireland, so I'm waiting for the right time.
Hard to know when that is with roses still blooming in November and even later some years.
Also, they have a standard carriage fee - the same (£15 to Ireland) for one or two as for a larger number.
I'm still hoping to find it in Ireland, as it goes by other names also
- 'Rachel', 'Tangust,' 'Augusta Luise', etc.
'Haven't searched enough yet. Hope I'll be lucky!
Paddy

None listed in Ireland. But since Apuldram is not listed there may be others. Apuldram are taking orders for bareroot rose now for delivery in November. This week I had 7 blooms on one of my plants and I might manage a dozen flowers this week. Last year I had blooms in December and I delivered one to Hayley at Sheffield Christmas Presence. Good luck in your search Paddy.

Thanks, Drew!
So Hayley stole adopted the rose!
Very interesting site you showed me - no shortage of information.
'Fox Trot' - I like that!
I have searched a bit for it in Ireland.
But, really, I could be searching forever and not find it here.
I think it's best if I order from Apuldram and have it growing.
I suppose I thought it wouldn't travel well to Ireland,
until Roger reassured me.
Thanks,
Paddy

Hi Roger and Drew! " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!" You two got me searching for the one I had sought in vain - and I found her - and in the most obvious place! The cheating 'wench' had changed her name to escape me! 'Augusta Luise'! Available in Ireland! www.bakker-irl.com/Catalog/Productdetail.aspx?parentcategoryname=1011&selectedcategoryname=1184&productid=2043Reasonable cost and carriage prices too. Bakker (Ireland) - I've ordered from them before and they're totally reliable. And the moral of the story is: 'Always search in her usual hang-outs!" or is it: "Never trust a ........ ( Rose)"? "I have often walked down this street garden before ............ " Thank you again! Paddy
