Should my Rose bush still be flowering this late in the year , not that I am complaining , just intrigued that's all . It is giving as good a display as it did in the summer , and the scent is still there as well . Really very happy with it !

    They can go on into December in a mild year.   Yours is looking bonny and happy.

    Lovely rose, my DA "Winchester Cathedral" is doing the same thing.

    Hello Marlorena.
    The rose is a David Austin rose. It's called  Brother Cadfael , this is it's third year growing and each year it improves . It has a wonderful scent as well.

    Thank you Terry... I thought it was an Austin but not sure which one... I think it can grow quite large in time... good luck..
