ROSEBUD OF ALLENVALE, THE. AKA and see "Rose of Sharon Waltz," "Rose of Allendale," "Rosebud/Rose of Avonmore," “Rosebud of Allenvale,” “Roses of Ava Moore.” Scottish (originally), Canadian, Old-Time; Air (6/8 time) or Waltz. Canada; Cape Breton, P.E.I. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The air was composed by the great Scots fiddle-composer and dancing master biography:J. Scott Skinner (1843-1927), originally published in 1922 in his Cairngorn Series #9. Skinner dedicated it to his cousin Jessie Macdonald, wife of James Macdonald who was the gardener at Allenvale Cemetery, Aberdeen, where Skinner himself is now interred.
The title has various iterations, particularly in Mid-West United States where the tune (played as a waltz) has been absorbed into modern "traditional" repertoire in Missouri. However, it seems likely the piece was picked up from recordings by fiddlers Howdy Forrester and Byron Berline in the mid-20th century. Mid-West titles for Skinner's air include "Rose of Sharon Waltz" and "Roses of Ava Moore.” Missouri fiddler Howard Marshall writes: “we call this "Rose of Sharon" (for those of us who may have learned it off Howdy Forester's old LP) or "Rosebuds of Aviemore" (there is a town in the Scottish Highlands south of Inverness named Aviemore; I've been there), or "Rosebuds of Avamore" (maybe a reference to the Ozark town of Ava, Missouri, where fiddler Bob Holt lives).” Missouri fiddler Gary Johnston (b. 1937) seems to emphasize this in his title “Roses of Ava Moore”. Gordon McCann (Ozarks Fiddle Music, 2008) says it is sometimes called by regional fiddlers as “Roses of Ever Moore.”
The similarly titled “Rose of Allendale (The)” is the name of another famous melody, in common time,
