Yours has the perfect lavender color and the foliage is very healthy. I got Kordes Summer Sun this spring from Roses Unlimited, perfect foliage but the bi-pink color is too gaudy. Summer Sun's scent is strong & pleasant (similar to Louis Estes).

I adore my Lavender Veranda. I almost lost it to neglect but got it in the new planting bed and it hsd been super healthy and full of blooms.

Ang, I bet you will be really happy with this one. It already had spectacular color

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw I am so glad your revived yours, because WOW!!! It doesn't even look real! My husband doesn't really have opinions of my roses, but there are two in my garden that he really loves-- this veranda and The Poet's Wife.

I'm crossing my fingers that David Austin decides to breed a purple now that the next generation is taking over things. I just love them.

I have two Lavender Verandas, in their second year. This one went into the ground last fall.

The other gets much more sun, is very healthy, but no blooms yet, Wonder why.

I think it’s a great addition to the lilac/lavender range.

The other is still in a (large) pot pot. It gets much more sun, is very healthy, has a few small buds but hasn't bloomed yet—-?

A great addition to the lavender/lilac range!

Ignore duplicate post, thanks thanks.

Same with my kindle. Beautiful rose.

Ang, what an exquisite rose--looks like porcelain. I, too, would like to see an Austin Lavender. The lavender rose I really want now is already out there, just not in the US, and that's Tantau's Lavender Ice. Don't these people want to make some big US money? I'm so tired of waiting.

Kristine and Sylvia, your LVs are beautiful, too. Diane

Diane - yes, Tantau's Lavender Ice would be amazing...it looks like a lavender Augusta Luise!!

Man, those Lavender Veranda roses are gorgeous!!!

WOW that's gorgeous, where did you get it?
