The Last Rose is the debut studio album by contemporary classical vocalist Laura Wright.

I was taught them by my grandmother when I was young but unless we continue that tradition, they will slip into oblivion.”[citation needed] The Last Rose was Laura Wright's way of reviving the folk tradition and continuing to pass down the songs for generations to come.

[citation needed] Wright's album includes many classics such as "Scarborough Fair" and "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" alongside basing one track ("Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal") on Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name.

[citation needed] The song is a solo arrangement of Paul Mealor's adaptation of the hymn "Ubi Caritas" which was also performed at the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The album then climbed back up to 69, before dropping out of the UK Top 100 completely after five weeks.
