Try Burlington Roses for CM, I think she used to sell it. If she doesn't currently have it, Burling does custom rooting as well, so if she has a stock plant she would be a good bet. You can call or email. (Burling is really good about answering email!)

Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention that I did check in with Burling as well but she doesn't have any of the above roses.

Linda at Long Ago Roses lists Deuil de Paul Fontaine, but I've asked her for that one 4 years running now and she's never had it. Either it's particularly hard to propagate, or there isn't much of a market for it (sadly). I haven't checked Antique Rose Emporium but they're also a possibility.

I asked Linda about that one as well, and there are two reasons:

1) It doesn't do well for her.
2) She hasn't had success in propagating it.

In any case, I don't think she can ship to CA, or much past the Mississippi, anymore.

P.S. Being as you're in California, have you considered hitting up one of the heritage rose gardens for their various sales?

Antique Rose Emporium sells Catherine Mermet -- currently sold out. HMF shows Greenmantle and Hortico as suppliers of Bullata. Do you use helpmefind.com ?

good luck in your search.

Susan

Yes, Linda doesn't ship to me unfortunately. Antique Rose Emporium is another one that I had already checked but they're sold out still from last year. Greenmantle is out of Bullata. And Hortico I used a long time ago and half my roses that I had received were wrong and were wrong again the 2nd time they replaced those :(

ARE will likely be adding stock soon. I feel your pain!

Susan

Thank you Susan, I look forward to seeing them update soon.

Linda told me the reason she doesn't ship to the west is because she doesn't want to be the one to possibly spread rose rosette disease, a noble reason in my book.
