Trying to find that rose at a local garden center or nursery in your area would be a crap shoot at best. A better option would be to buy on-line from a reputible grower. A link to a list of possible sources is below Check closely for the way they ship as some sell only own root bands (newly rooted cuttings) while others sell bare roots. Here is a link that might be useful: Sources for Royal Sunset from Helpmefind.com

Hi, aliska, I'll try to get some pics when the crop of current buds open. I'm trying to figure out how to share a thought in a friendly "let's chat about roses and our experiences" way that doesn't sound pompous or preachy....when you say you hope you're not unlucky enough to get ones that are too orange....well, sometimes this rose *will* look sort of "orange" or at least the color of orange juice. Sometimes it will look the purest soft apricot sometimes a golden apricot, sometimes it will have apricot, orange juice, and soft peach all mixed and then a day or two later will be a different color. That is one of the beauties of many roses, and especially of the Austin roses. I'm just mentioning this because I happened to notice in some of your posts that you have some concerns that roses won't look like the pictures, or that they will look like one certain picture that is a shade you don't care for. Sincerely, I don't mean this in a "talking down to you" way, but you do need to be prepared for the form, shade and sometimes even the color of roses to be different (sometimes wildly different) at different stages of maturity, at different times of the year, and sometimes even from one week to the other if the weather changes dramatically. You should see my Gruss an Aachens right now, they don't look like any pics of them I've ever seen and I probably wouldn't have fallen in love with them if the only pics I'd ever seen looked like my whole bush full of blooms does right now; but part of the fun is knowing that next week or next month, or especially this fall...it'll be like having a whole different rose!

I think I've bought from virtually every online rose seller..lol...its an addiction that has resulted in over 100 rose bushes. These are my favorites: For Container Roses... 1)Chamblee's Rose Nursery: They have low prices, their plants come in trade gallons, and are very healthy 2)High Country Roses:Priced fair, 1 qt containers, quick shipping, healthy 3)Rogue Valley Roses: Excellent selection. Sells all roses in band size containers (3x3x6) and if you buy for roses you get to choose a free rose and get a bonus mystery rose! Bareroot: All these are about the same price, and I've never had a rose from them fail... 1)Spring Valley Roses: all are own root 2)Jackson & Perkins / Wayside Gardens: I've always rec'd large, healthy plants...mostly grafted though...which I'm not a big fan off. Also, I know that J&P has all their roses on clearence right now! Good luck!

I've ordered from David Austin (http://www.davidaustinroses.com). It's been awhile (2002) but I was happy with the order. Most of what I ordered from him that year are gone (mostly due to BS) but I still have (and enjoy) Heritage and James Galway. GC was one I ordered. I don't know why I did because I don't really like yellow. It black spotted too much so I got rid of it in the third or fourth season.
