Hi everyone,
Did anyone watch"Love your garden" on Friday. If so does anyone have or know where I can find the rose Miranda. I fell in love with this rose, but can't find anyone who sells it. David Austin does sell a bouquet using this variety, but doesn't sell it.

The rose was named after.......
(Miranda (1869 — de Sansal, France)
I found that out on Wikipedia under
(List of rose cultivars named after people)
But could'nt find where to buy one sorry, I did try :o))
As Spritzheney said contact with David Austin.
Good Luck :o)))

Thanks, I will e-mail Davis Austin to see what information
he might have and will let you know if I have any luck :o)

I think Miranda roses may be shrub roses used for the cut flower production under greenhouse conditions.
The cut flowers come from David Austin I think!

I bet you have a point there Jen h :o))

Maybe you can't buy the roses as bushes at all, then. It seems a shame, doesn't it.

You were right Jen h. I had a reply from David Austin to say that this variety of rose was raised only for cut flowers. What a shame, it's beautiful!

I wonder if David Austin could recommend one of his that looks almost like Miranda? for you.

I'm afraid I've had no luck either. It doesn't appear in the RHS 'Plantfinder'.
Can I suggest that you contact David Austin and ask them if they can tell you a stockist?
