I was trying to find it grafted a couple of years ago and had no luck. At that time, Roses Unlimited had it own root. Their website still lists it , but you have to call or email them for actual stock status of their roses. I've ordered OGR/antique roses from RU and been very pleased with their roses and service. I normally prefer to get my modern roses grafted, so haven't ordered any of those from them. I've never seen anything but positive comments posted about RU, though.

Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving! The weather was really beautiful here last week. I think our high on Thanksgiving day was 75F. So on "Black Friday" I received 2 packages I've been waiting for all week. One from Derrick and one from Matt. I know it's getting close to winter time but if the weather permits, I must round up a few more plumies! When I visited Derrick earlier this month, his rooted Special Hilo Beauty caught my eye. Even though I already have 2 Hilo Beauty, I just couldn't say no to this one. So I paid $40 for postage to get it shipped to me (and you'll see why it's worth every dime). Derrick told me he had broken off a small tip when he potted the cutting but another new tip eventually grew out! It's a bit unsightly since it branched out at an angle. I think you can train branches to grow straight correct? Also, last week I got around to potted the 10 cuttings I brought back from Hawaii. Mike, I hope you don't mind I potted yours too. It didn't feel right leaving it out in all the rooting fun. Hopefully by spring, it'll come to you with roots! That's all for now! Kenny

Southernfrenchie- Good point. Deep down I think I knew that I just need reassurance or a swift kick in the rump to keep things moving. Maybe at some point I'll see about using the floral on a cover. I'll have to wait awhile for that. Tina - I like this so much better than that linensource bedding too. While I do like it, I was trying to make something work. The black and white checks were the "masculine" to me in that bedding and really, it's not very masculine in comparison to the new fabrics. Kmcg - I didn't get a chance to look at the Chaps olive blanket yet but am planning to something this week. I think I'm going to wait until I have the pillows back from Nanny2a and on the bed before I buy one. I figure they'll have sales close to Christmas. I'll admit I'd like to find something cheaper than the sale price for the blanket since I'm already spending quite a bit on all this. I have a feeling it might be hard to find anything else olive that doesn't have shiny polyester trim attached! I'd like to still be able to paint, get new curtains, and a blind yet with what I have budgeted for the room. I'm pretty excited. I believe I'm going to order the fabric this week and get things rolling. This will all be so worth it in the end. I can't wait to walk into the room and see pretty things everyday that make me smile. Bed arrives tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Thanks again and thanks for that link! She's tickled to pieces to have finally found out who sings it! She's been trying to find out for weeks! The link is going to be helpful, because she can't find it locally!
