Comments (2)I would start by calling J&P...there may be an "old" rosarian there..or someone old enough to remember who has it in their garden..ask for retired employees ..( if they're hesitant to give out their names or numbers, leave yours for them)..start with one and work your way out. also..you can try Ashdown, not that they have it, but the rose was bred in Germany and Ashdown has hooked up with Peter Beales to import alot of European roses that we can't get here..maybe it's more common across the pond, and he'll import budwood. I ***think*** he needs 10 people willing to buy a rose before he'll import and propogate..but that isn't usually too hard to do with a rose that's impossible to get here..alot of people like the rare and unusual. Good luck to you, and let us know how you make out! Donna...See MoreWhich Rose(s) are you Coveting?
Comments (23)Canary Bird, both the yellow sweetbriar and the hybrid xanthina. The sweetbrier doesn't appear to have made it to the USA yet. The hybrid xanthina is very difficult to find here. Rotes Phänomen, the purple/red rugosa, it is purple/red everywhere, including the stamens and inside the canes. R. foetida--the single form, I have the double 'Persiana' and love it. Nothing in rosedom more yellow! Schoener's Nutkana, which is a cross between the California native species R. nutkana and the hybrid perpetual Paul Neyron. SN was bred in California. Large plant and flowers (single medium to dark pink), repeat blooming in my area (botanic garden), shade tolerant, few thorns, lots of hips. And rust resistant unlike its parent Paul Neyron. R. hemisphaerica, the sulphur rose. Packed with petals. Very hard to get! Rosa cannabifolia, the hemp-leaved rose. A beautiful, and primitive, rare alba. Flowers look similar to R. fortuniana. White double flowers. Schön Ingeborg, an absolutely gorgeous light pink hybrid perpetual that Cliff Orent imported. Now to be found sporadically at Palatine. Very double. Suzanne, a double light pink spinisissima with the beautiful small foliage of that species. Gets big and bushy. Looks graceful and primitive. Missed getting it from Pickering (they sold out) a few years ago, then they dropped it from their catalog. Was on the waiting list at High Country Roses but their mother plant died. R. beggeriana, its big and bushy, with single white flowers, and reblooms. Produces plentiful black/purple hips which are good for wildlife. From hot, dry areas of the world. Lemon Light, a yellow seedling of the enormous tree-eating Kiftsgate but not quite as large. Used to be in the catalogs of Heirloom (and not seen anywhere else). Hope they offer it again. R. glutinosa, the pine-scented rose, a pink single. I like roses with either unusual scents in the foliage or flowers. Forestfarm grows it, but is out-of-stock. I've asked them to propagate it, so maybe 2014! Buttercup, a small yellow Austin, with flowers that resemble buttercups. I want it, but I don't want the RMV that would be inevitable should I purchase direct from Austin. Not readily available elsewhere, especially from any that virus index. R. horrida, it is, as its name implies, a horrible little thing! Loaded with thorns, the beasty suckers like mad, and thus appeals to me. White single flowers, sets copious hips. Good for wildlife food and safe haven. From the Caucasus. Paul Délépine, a stunning small polyantha I saw at Eurodesert. It is a sort of purpley pink. Very floriferous. Yellow Blush, a light yellow alba. Very double. I'll probably have to wait a good long time before this one is available.... Domine Sampson, a short light pinky lilac marbled hybrid spinossima.

Comments (11)I've grown two of the Vigorosa series from Kordes, Innocencia and Emely. Both were short, very disease resistant and bloomed a great deal. This was in the southeastern US - it's rated to 6b by default on hmf, but may well withstand colder temps, being Kordes. Emely is one, I think that Pickering is phasing out, but I think it's still available from there. I grow Kordes' Cream Veranda and have found it to be very bs and mildew resistant here; very pretty bloom. hmf rates it to 6b but I notice that Celeste in New Hampshire grows it. New to me this summer, but I really like Tantau's Sweet Haze, which has a very pretty single pinkish bloom; Heirloom rates it to zone 5. I think hmf zone rating is in error, 8 to 9. What colors are you wanting?...See MoreThe Good Earth - Pearl S. Buck
Comments (11)I didn't know that, alicia. And the strength of the book I think lies in her characters and the events that surround and overtake them. Her sense of history was pitch perfect. But I'd never put it in a list of top ten, or even top 100. BTW - she wrote several books, and the fiction, for the most part, was much less than this one. What was interesting however is that in each book there is a mentally handicapped character. Her one and only child was severly mentally handicapped (simliar to Wang's daughter). She wrote about her daughter in a memoir; I remember it being very moving, tho I can't recall the name....See MoreBelgianRose
