Downton Abbey, everybody’s favorite British Serial Drama is in it’s 6th and final season. This show has captured the attention of people around the world in a way that few, if any, shows have ever done!
I am having a very hard time accepting that this is the final season. Mercy, we’ve been through a lot together in these 6 seasons … marriages, war, feuds, funerals, hats, family dinners (some of them quite uncomfortable), kitchen talk and beautiful flowers. I can’t wait from one family dinner to the next to see what flowers will grace the table!

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE?
All this talk about Downton Abbey has me wondering who your favorite character is.
I can tell you mine…
It’s JOHN BATES.
Quiet, cautious, strong, loyal, and that smile he gives to Anna–yes, my fav is Mr. Bates.
Anna’s promise is just incredible !
Such a rich pretty color.
I own Anna’s Promise and it is hard to find the other ones nobody sells Week Roses down here. If any suggestions where I can get them please Let me know. Delma.
Hi, Nice to hear from you. What area are you from? I will try to find a supplier for you. Have you tried Edmunds or Chamblee roses online?
No I haven’t one nursery that is 45 min away just got Pretty Lady Rose so I will go on Friday to pick it up. I Live in Kingsville, Tx zone 9. We need a Rose named after Lady Mary.
I am so excited you found one. That one is a beauty!!!
The rose collection I desire! I agree with Chris, they should have their own separate bed.
Yes! A bed of beauty for sure!
Love this rose series, I look forward to the announcement of the winters.
Hey Charlie, It sure is a beautiful series. We will keep you posted.
Anna’s promise is my favorite!
She is a beauty! Totally fitting Anna!
My favorite character has always been Edith, and I am sorely tempted by that rose! The Dowager Countess is a close second for favorite character and rose too. 🙂
