Above: The first flower on my grafted Celtic Blessings rugosa. At least, I hope that this is the rose I named 'Celtic Blessings' almost ten years ago...I have lost touch with Steve Beck, a rose lover who in 2004 liked the look of one of my rugosa seedlings in the garden and went to the hard work of propagating it and trialling it in other gardens. I gave it the name 'Celtic Blessings' and thought no more about it until this winter, when to my great excitement I spied the name 'Celtic Blessings' in the rugosa section of a Mistydown Perennials Catalogue. The nursery couldn't tell me anything about the rose except that they had obtained it from John Niewesteeg about four years ago, but I've taken the gamble that it is my original 'Celtic Blessings' and purchased ten. I have given several away, and the others I have bunged in the garden to see if it brings back any memories for me when it flowers. Yes...I'm sorry to say, but in the seven years since 'Celtic Blessings' left home, I really can't remember which of the rugosa seedlings it actually was! There were four different seedlings all growing in one small bed in what is now the pool yard, and over the years they have suckered and intermingled with each other. I have a feeling that the original shrub of 'Celtic Blessings' may have died, although it is hard to tell with all of the suckering going on.
