Irish Poet Thomas Moore composed the poem titled -- The Last Rose of Summer. It is claimed that he was inspired to write it in 1805 while lodging at Jenkinstown Castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland, by a specimen of Rosa Old Blush. The poem is accompanied by a traditional tune known as Aisling an Óigfhear, or The Young Mans Dream. Edward Bunting composed the tune in 1792 after hearing harper Denis Hempson perform it at the Belfast Harp Festival. Together, the poem and the song were released in December 1813 in A Selection of Irish Melodies by Thomas Moore, volume 5. John Andrew Stevenson composed the original piano accompaniment; in the 19th and 20th centuries, while numerous different arrangements were further created. In song form, the poem is arguably as well-known now as it was when it was first published
