Comments (1)Pickering Nurseries in Ontario has it. They generally graft on multiflora. Here is a link that might be useful: Pickering...See Morespectacular revival of Linda Campbell
Comments (2)I've run across plants in various historic locations which have clearly been literally cut flat to the ground, but which have emerged many years later, when water became available to them. The persistence of life is amazing. We don't grow Linda Campbell, because our area is not kind to rugosas, but I really "heart" her. Here she is in the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden: Jeri...See MoreLinda Campbell - source for large plants?

Comments (10)Root them in moist, not soggy course sand, perlite, or vermiculite. You could also do a mixture of vermiculite and sand. Or you could use a seed starting mix as a medium. Potting soil I have found that works well for my hydrangeas isn't giving me results for my roses. I do know people that have rooted them in potting mix though, it just isn't working for me. I use a large plastic tote as a mini greenhouse and just mist occasionally to keep the humidity up. I don't mist daily, more every other day. I use a spray bottle with 10% hydrogen peroxide and water to prevent fungus. Once you see fungus, you might as well throw a cutting out. Take the cutting from green canes, but not tender shoots. Do not use old brown wood cuttings as these are harder to root. You want the cutting to have at least two sets of leaf nodes and it needs to be around 6 inches long and about the diameter of a pencil. Take the cuttings in the morning and immediately put them in water. One of the sets of nodes you will pick the leaves off and will be buried in the medium for rooting, the other you set of leaf nodes will be above the medium and you want at least 2-3 leaves for photosynthesis. Cut the rose cutting with a clean diagonal cut. You want around an inch of stem below the leaf nodes. Scrape the area below the bottom leaf nodes with a knife to expose the white cambium layer on both sides of the cutting. Soak the cutting in water for a bit to make sure its hydrated then dip the cutting in rooting hormone up to the leaf nodes as this will be the part that will go into the medium for rooting. Poke a hole in the medium and place your cutting making sure the medium covers the nodes. Tamp down the medium to secure the cutting in place. Place the cutting in a large zip lock bag or tote and mist lightly inside to add moisture. Keep in indirect sunlight (in front of a window, or under a weak plant light). Roses take longer than hydrangeas. I can get a hydrangea to start roots in a couple of weeks or less, but roses may take up to 2 months. If your cutting begins to rot, throw it out, cut back on your watering as you don't want them to be sitting in too soggy of medium, and try again. Only water when the medium feels dry. Use 4 inch starter pots or even plastic cups with holes poked in the bottom, but make sure the container drains well. I hope I covered everything. lol...See MoreMoses, Pittsburgh, W.
