Just about anywhere. If a box store sells oncidiums they are usually yellow dancing ladies.

There are presently no U.S. commercial sources listed for this rose. That's unfortunate, because photos show it as a really lovely thing. 'Lady Roberts' is one of the roses offered in the special Silent Auction' at the Sacramento City Cemetery. Margaret Furness was kind enough to send me photos of the rose (taken in Australia) for the catalog, and so you can see it there. I think it may be on the last page of listings.

Here is a picture of the back of the small bloom today - I am now completely convinced that it is Lady Roberts - supposed to be a darker color sport of Anna Olivier, which is exactly what this looks like. I am looking forward to its variable blooms in the future - my AO sometimes puts out blooms that look nothing like the typical ones - tea roses keep us on our toes! I am interested in the "flower sport" issue - this bloom does not appear to have as many petals (65!) as the first few - I will be counting them when it has blown. Jeri, if you see this can you let me know how many petals your LR has, or does that vary a lot? Jackie

Ingrid - I saw your post about your bunnies. We have tons of squirrels and one deer which visits us here, and they munch away, but our conditions are very benign, unlike yours, so the damage they do is not noticeable (at least to me, because I like animals, as you obviously do). In your harsh surroundings, you are providing them with an oasis - I think that is great. Your garden looks lovely anyway, by the way. Jackie
