    I have no knowledge about gardening at all, but am desperately trying to find out about purple roses.
    Could anyone tell me if I can buy natural purple roses in the UK.
    What time of year they blossom etc. (I am basically wanting to buy some in the next couple of weeks). I suppose I'm after a dark lilac rather than a pink/reddy purple.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Rhapsody in Blue is also available at Wisley garden Centre, which is located within the grounds of Wisley gardens. The rose itself is also a feature they have in their rose garden. And has a lovely fragrant to it.
