The Rose Tree As called by George Fogg Source: Seven Midland Dances Key: D Meter: 2/4 Form: duple minor proper Blue Barnes page 107. Reel: Rose Tree A1- First corners (first man and second woman) right hand turn, then left hand turn A2- Second corners the same B1- Couple one lead down the middle, turn alone; return and cast down one place (unassisted) B2- Swing and change (or just swing if they're contra dancers) Notes from George: In B1 the woman can turn under the man's arm. An alternative in B2 is for the two couples to rotate counterclockwise all the way around one another while they swing. (APW: swing and change) Apparently there are several versions of The Rose Tree from Northamptonshire. This is the Titchmarsh version. APW: To Regencize, B2 = whole poussette; also fun to do chasse, chasse, chasse, jete-assemblee on the hand turns.
