Here is the "buy from" page link for this rose from HMF - it says there is one US nursery, and also Hortico in Canada (which I think can ship to the US).

Thanks Jackie, it looks like the only US nurseries listed having carried JV in HMF no longer exist and are for reference only. I don’t see it on Hortico’s site but let me email them.

You might try contacting some folks on HMF to see if they'd share cuttings. If not, perhaps drop Peter Schneider a line at FreedomGardens. He has a huge collection of Hybrid Perpetuals most of which are not on his current list of offerings so just email him. If he doesn't grow it himself, he may know someone who does.

Oh, I didn’t think of checking with Peter. Thanks Vaporvac!

Let us know! : ))

He doesn’t have it :( Vintage and Mike Lowe apparently had it. I‘ll still see if I can find anyone who grows it and possibly get cuttings.

😪

I'm surprised and saddened to see that this beautiful old rose, one that's been a staple of old rose catalogues, at least here in Oz and the UK, to my memory, for many years, appears to be going out of production.

Maybe a separate post here and on the propagation rose forum (if it still exists?) - as well as the HMF cuttings section - might yield someone with a bit of James to share?

Yes, do let us know how you get on.

If nothing turns up with the above suggestions especially HMF perhaps you could post on the hybridizers Forum.

Good ideas, Comtesse and Vaporvac. Thank you. Although I have never grown it, it doesn’t seem like a rose that should be forgotten.

No, indeed. Sorry, Vaporvac, that was the one I meant - the Rose hybridisers and propagation forum.. isn't that what it's called... I've forgotten because I can never find or get to any other forums any more - other than this one which I click straight on to from my laptop's shortcuts screen thingy - thanks to Houzz's mucking around with everything. Well, that and my brain not exactly working as it should, no doubt... :-)

Don't worry. I bookmark everything and have the Houzz sidebar of my favourites, as well. I do prefer to enter from gardenweb, though. There is a Propagation Forum on Houzz/Gardenweb as well as the Hybridizers Forum which is for more professional people from what I gather. I like to go there anyway as they have many good discussions on rooting and grafting and other things I'd like to try eventually. I think the latter folks have many different roses so they might be the best shot.

Ah, I see...thanks for the clarification! (I probably shouldn't try and post 'helpful' comments while groggy-brained... except that's almost all the time!)

One day - maybe in another life - when it's not so slow and groggy, I will master the limitless mysteries of Houzz (and computer and online stuff in general) and get myself all properly organised like you. I can truly see how good that would be.. :-)

Me too, Comtesse, what vapor said.

Awww... that's so sweet of you both! Yes, wouldn't it be good if we could all just meet up from time to time in the same physical space! Just pop round and help each other out with our various issues, whether horticultural or technological or whatever other assorted kinds of life-ache we might be dealing with...

Vape, I'm in awe of anyone who knows more than me about computers/ phones etc - which would be about 95% of the world's population by now, from what i can make out. Even barely literate people in the remotest parts of Africa and outback Australia seem to have smartphones these days and appear to know how to use them... I just missed out on that decade or two when all this stuff was developing due to illness, with major neurological issues making it impossible to grasp anything technical at all...(seriously, I could not even add 3 + 4... mainly because I no longer remembered what 3 and 4 were..) So have just been catching up, very slowly, ever since. :-)
