Rhapsody in Blue

17 years ago

I have fallen in love with this very deep purple rose which I believe is a Heritage rose. I can't find it in the ususal rose nurseries and don't know of any Heritage Rose growers. They also need to send to WA. Ann

Annabel I bought this rose 3 years ago from Bunnings Joondalup, I wasn't even sure if it was on Fortuniana (?) rootstock but regardless it has done really well for me in my very hot garden. It does blow out a bit in summer but you get so many flowers it doesn't matter. I will look when I'm over there next and see if they still have it for you.
Good luck!

I'm glad Bunings do have it. The garden lady was in our new garden centre a couple of weeks ago so I ordered it. Only some of Bunnings roses are on Fortuniana rootstock, but prob not this. In my scrolling I found a similar on from Swanes called Route 66 and Roworths in Lansdale had (they get Swanes roses) it so I ordered it through our local garden centre. Have not heard yet. I'm in Esperance so too far from Joondalup and no-one coming to Perth. Many thanks, ann

Megaul, your Christmas Tree hosta is gorgeous! ademink, he was one heck of an engineer and one heck of a man!! The last couple of years, he knew he had limited time left. My stepmom asked him if there was anything he would like to do that he hadn't done yet. His answer was "he had already done more than he ever dreamed was possible". It doesn't get any better than that!

Hi Emily, you can cut off the old stems now to make the area look nicer. What comes to the holes on the leaves, I don't know which bug is munching on them but you can try to use some insecticidal soap and see if that helps. Good luck!

Hi,
I am looking for a rhapsody in blue rose as well but no luck. Does anyone know where I could get one or even a cutting? Thanks
