I have been wanting this rose for some time - thrilled to hear it will be available again. Who will be offering it?

And when will it be offered? I always love your photos of this rose, it so gorgeous, makes my heart pitter pat :).

Just gorgeous! What color(s) would you say it goes well with?

Woah, that's a nice rose. I see your blue cups at work!

More lovely Augusta. You know how I love this rose. I've read here that Palatine will offer AL again, and in the future more beautiful Tantau roses as well. Vicky, Augusta has many color variations, like a changing watercolor. So, if you like a paler look, she's got that, too. Pink she has also. Here's a pale AL. Diane

I think I am going to want to seek out this rose...but just wondering where I will place it in my landscape. Would it go with other pink roses....apricot.....yellow.....white...??? What color would look best next to it? I once had a Lady Elsie May rose that was incredibly healthy and vigorous but I had to get rid of it because it clashed with all the other roses.

My AL is surrounded by several different colored roses, including yellow, purple, pinks, and dark red, and it looks fine to me. I think AL fits in with everything. I don't want to post a lot of my photos, but this rose has so many different shadings, and I think that helps her to fit in. Why don't you check out the AL photos on Help Me Find Roses to see how the whole bush looks in many settings. This rose is very popular in Europe, so there are lots of photos. Diane

Ooooh!!! Fragrancenutter your roses are spectacular as always!!! I am in deep awe!

What are the little blue cups for? Decoration or other purpose?

Thank you for the pictures and also the advice about HMF. The ruffled blooms are really, really pretty....I will be on the lookout for this one.

susan from California [haven't seen her post in a long time] had photos of her fabulous rose garden. Colors she mixed were coral [like Lady Elsie May - which I adore, looks good with everything in my garden], apricot, lavender, purple, dark and light yellow, red, pinks......the effect was stunning. Sure hope Palatine offers this rose - remember when Hortico had it - always wanted to get it but didn't. Wont miss the opportunity if I get it again! Gorgeous photos!

I think that another thread was posted on how she used these blue cups to attract thrips to the cup which was coated with an oil that trapped the thrips. It has helped her with having her blooms open better. :)

According to Cynthia (nippstress), Palatine will offer Augusta Luis again next year. They carried it briefly this year, but it wasn't around long.

Beautiful added bouquets, fragrancen. The colors blend splendidly. Diane

Oh my. Seriously! These pics are to die for. Sure hope Palatine offers her. Judy.

It really is a beautiful rose!!

I have two of them, but newly planted a month ago so I need an awful lot of patience before I can post the first pics.

If anyone sees AL offered anywhere, please post it on the forum..I totally want this rose lol !!

L♡ve everyones photos of her!

What I also really like about this rose is that she looks beautiful both in the half open and fully open stages, so she remains beautiful a lot of the time.
