I have just bought 6 Rhapsody in Blue roses. I threw away the labels,
not liking any plastic in the garden . Theyr'e beautifully perfumed but I
can't remember whether they're repeat flowering or other details. I've
Gogled the name and come up with nothing other than the Gershwin
offering/
I haven't seen this rose before I remember it won some prize in 2003 abd
would have expected a write up somewhere but No!
**********************************

Rhapsody in Blue is a modern, repeat flowering, floribunda (or Cluster
Flowered to some). It sure is a lovely rose bringing a new colour break to
modern roses. An example of Rhapsody in Blue can be view on the Bexrose Web
Site at:- http://home.btconnect.com/cadoss/bexrose under roses for
exhibiting.

Googling "rhapsody in blue rose" turns up rather a lot...

http://www.arcadian-archives.com/roseoftheyear.htm says
'Rhapsody in Blue' is a shrubby floribunda rose with fragrant
blooms
in an exquisite shade of purple tinged with blue. [...]

The image just doesn't look real somehow, as if it's been severely

I went there first for a picture but you don't list it under roses for
exhibition. Whereabouts is the image?

Love the site, really well done. Had it in my favourites for ages now.

Thanks. But you know, I'm not at all sure I'd like it (I'm a bit
funny about roses). I'll have to get out and look for some in real
life.

Janet,

The Web site has recently been updated which might explain why you could not
find Rhapsody in Blue. Here is a link direct to the page containing the
Photo:
http://home.btconnect.com/cadoss/bex...nVarieties.htm

I'm pleased that you like our web site keep it bookmarked as there is lots
more to be added.

Jenny,

Probably 'Blue Moon' which we are growing - its shown as blue in photo's
and comes out a very pale lilacy sort of colour in real life - I like
it, but you couldn't call it blue! Mines in bloom right now.

HTH,

Sarah

You are right thte desplay is marvellous and the perfume amazing what
really gets me down when I try to photograph the things I see before me
the camera obviously doesn't see the same as I do. I suppose I should have
something other than a digital camera with a different lens?

Thanks Martin, a really unusual colour! I loved Incognito, does that
have a heavy scent?

I doubt if it's the camera or the lens: great photographers can use
depressingly simple equipment. The camera really _does_ see things
differently, because it hasn't got a brain processing the
information. Practice is the only way. When working with children on
seeing nature, I used to get them to look through little frames and
tubes to get different views -- amazing how a cardboard frame can
make a view into a picture, or a loo-roll tube can turn your eye into
a telescope or a microscope! I'd guess photography trainers use the
same sorts of tricks -- and I know they use plain white sheets of
stuff as reflectors to bring light into places we don't even realise
are shaded because the brain fills in the missing detail, but which
look murky when our pictures come back.
