WILD ROSE, THE. English, Morris Dance Tune (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. “Wild Rose” is the tune that accompanies the Lichfield, Staffordshire, morris stick dance Milley’s Request. Milley’s Hospital stands in Beacon Street, Lichfield. Over the door a plaque reads ‘This hospital for fifteen women was founded by Thomas Milley D.D., Canon Residentiary of the Cath. Church of Lichfield, 1504.’ The tune was transmitted by the musician for the ‘old team’ (mid-1920’s) of Lichfield morris dancers, via the telephone.
