Both are florist roses. Unfortunately, the main supplier of florist roses to home gardeners went out of business last year. Fire 'n' Ice used to be more readily available for the home gardener, but not this year. It isn't on Vintage Gardens' availability list, you may want to contact them to ask if they still have a "mother plant" that they can do a custom rooting, but it will be pricey. The rose named Love (click on the link for photos) is a parent of FnI and is widely available, it has the same coloring (and nasty thorns). Love is also a much much better growing rose and FnI was here and in my mom's garden. Konfetti, well I'm not sure. Where do you live? I ask because James Mills at K & M Nursery buds some florist roses on Fortuniana rootstock, but that is only hardy in zone 7 and higher. There are also other roses with coloring similar to Konfetti, Desert Peace, Gloria Dei, Glowing Peace.

Hello, I'm quite sure you have a hybrid with calcareum there. (There are thousands of hybrids around, so maybe it is better to stop the namegiving to Sempervivum at all?) Best place to keep them is outside in the ground. Rain, cold, snowcover and some frost will do no harm. I don't know what temps do in zone 5b. If to cold you may take a container and give some wintercover. If you want flowers they do need some real winter. Here's a picture of a S. calcareum spinifolium - if that is correct and for what it is worth :) greets harry

I love the easy elegance roses unfortunately I think it would outgrow the space. I ordered Easter Basket, and it checks a lot of boxes, but I feel the spot might need something more vibrant. Still waiting to see if Chamblees will offer Marc Chagall again this year, but I noticed that last year it was only offered grafted? Does anyone know why? Does it not grow well own root? my mother ordered Life of the Party this year so I may hold off on that one to see what her experiences are growing it with mid Atlantic blackspot preasure.
