I like the different colour combination of the flowers on 'Rose of Castile' - contrasts well with the others

This looks like Carmel Blue, unless the colour hasn't come out properly on the photo. The corolla of Rose of Castile is a purply-red.

It might be 'Preston Guild' but I've not bought 'Carmel Blue' and the nursery where I bought it is run by the secretary of the British Fuchsia Society so I think she'd get it right!

I think she's wrong. I think it's Carmel Blue ( unless the colour has not come out properly on the photo ). I'll put a photo of mine for you to see. This looks too blue for Rose of Castile - it should be more purply than this. My Rose of Castile unfortunately died when I moved. It isn't Preston Guild either - the flower isn't the right shape.

I've looked at my Carmel Blue now and actually the tube is longer than the one in your photo, so maybe it isn't C. Blue after all.
But it isn't the right colour for Rose of Castile either - it's too blue.
And it definately isn't Preston Guild.

I have a very similar fuchsia called Starwars, I thought this was it on first viewing.
