Oh it was such a quick reply, THANK YOU very much Ingrid!!! I started to participate in this forum some time ago and it is a very comfortable space full of kind people who welcomed me very kindly, althought I live really far away from most of you. Of course my grandfather is really proud of this small proyect, so I wish I had any news soon. Many people from this forum started to contact me, so I hope some good news, concerning the roses I am looking for. Of course I have checked in sites such "Vintage Gardens" and similars but it extremely expensive to buy small plants outside (taking into account the monetary conversion), so once I have found most of them I had to deal with this limitation. An example was my aim to buy ´Dr. Debat´ from "Vintage Gardens", taking into account the conversion mentioned, a simple plant of ´Dr. Debat´ rose was, just to give you and idea, what for you would be paying 180 dollars for a rose bush (of course it was imposible for me, almost a 20% of my salary!haha). It was really a pity because ´Dr. Debat´ is my grandfather ´s favourite rose and I have not found other way to get this plant yet. So getting some cuttings would be the best alternative, as you have mentioned, but not everybody want to share what they have, or start putting a lot of limitations. Anyway, let ´s see what happens! Once more, THANK YOU very, very much for you reply and my warmest wishes from this far, far, far away place!haha Keep in touch, Mariano.

I know Chrysler Imperial is a pretty common rose in Home Depot and Lowe's(American mass hardware stores) during winter~spring. They are grafted and not so good quality. Export plant off America need some kinda of certificate. I believe that would be costly and complicated. So I would suggest join some local rose society or internet forum to meet local gardener near B.A. Or buy it from nursry site or eBay. Most online store or own-root roses. I know Heirloom Roses guarantee their roses are virus-free. But you have to check they ship international or not before you start selecting your roses. David Austin is the creator of the English Rose(AKA David Austin Rose). They look pretty classy. You should check it out. By the way, are you on some Spanish forum? I think while I'm searching Miltonia I came across some Spanish site. There is a Bio Tech student from B.A. Anyway. It great to hear you getting a degree at 25 in Bio Tech. I still wishy washy in academic. It so hard for me to focus in school. I would like to study Agriculture... ... *Louis Store with good reputation learn from other member: http://www.heirloomroses.com/ http://www.regannursery.com/ http://www.davidaustinroses.com/ Stores that I'm not sure: http://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/ http://www.naturehills.com/catalog/rose_bushes.aspx Forum: http://www.heritagerosefoundation.org/

Thank you, everyone. I like the flower color. True reds are my favorites. Sylvia, you are so right-I have 6 Don Juans climbers on arbors around our fishpond. They are baby plants, I just saw a few blooms last year-I can hardly wait until they come into their own. Oklahoma would be a nice one to have. I have yet to order any roses-everything I have has been purchased locally, and I have never seen it available here.
