Talk:The Last Rose of Summer

Origin of melody
No reference is given for the claim that the composer was George Alexander Osborne, and I cannot find one myself. It cannot be true anyway, because Osborne was born in 1809 and Stevenson's setting was published in December 1813 in volume 5 of Moore's Irish Melodies. I have removed the mention of Osborne. 87.113.57.138 (talk) 21:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)


 * This is definitely the right choice, as the tune is a variation of a traditional tune, connected to Donnchadh Ó hAmsaigh, called "Aislean an Oigfear" or The Young Man's Dream. As I have a reference for this, as well as a sample of the original tune, and there is no reference given for Mr. Stevensons composership, I will correct the article now --Ginness (talk) 08:12, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

The melody was used with new words in hebrew in the 1930s, telling about a convoy of camels crossing the desert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.126.45.61 (talk) 21:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Not to forget Keisuke Kinoshita's famous film "Twenty-four roses" where the melody is played softly many times.

What does the article header have to do with the topic?
I'm struggling to understand the connection between the banner and the topic of this article  If someone may connect it to me in a way that makes sense, that would be appreciated. Also, if you do agree with me, let me know. 2600:1700:7C40:7AC0:35F8:3157:7BE0:89AF (talk) 22:24, 9 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't know what the anonymous user above meant by "banner". But if it was the template for "more citations needed", I've deleted that. It was dated to 2013, and the article certainly does have enough citations. Aklein62 (talk) 14:45, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
