Oh thank you so much! I didn't know they would ship here. Do you have some suggestions on some other pale pink roses for me ? We are moving to the Belleville area, I don't even know what zone that is, I will bring 2 Quietness, 2 Morden Blush and 1 Lambert Closse. I like silvery purple mauve roses like Blue Moon too. Sorry for all the questions, newbie here. Thanks again!

Where are you located in MI? I think you should be able to find campanula at a local nursery. I live in MI, about 30 minutes north of Detroit. There are a few nurseries close to me with nice perennial selections. You could call a few to see if they have the plant you’re looking for in stock. I’ve purchased plants from Bluestone, but the plants are pretty small and expensive. I usually purchase from them when they’re having a sale or if they have something I can’t find locally and have to have.

What do you think of Olivia Rose Austin??

Ben, Sorry Olivia didn’t bloom a lot by 1 1/2 years. I think the 3rd year is considered the mature year, at least for own-roots. 3rd year is tge charm! Lol! My Moonlight in Paris does bloom non-stop huge flushes all the time!!!! MIP may be my best bloomer next to Walking on Sunshine. MIP has blooms all over all the time-she’s a floribunda. Plum Perfect & Kimberlina are blooming all the time all over, too! And a few bush roses like The Fairy are blooming all the time, too. @CeresMer Zone 7a NJ , I am excited to hear that your Olivia bloomed non-stop 2nd year. I think next year will be my Olivias full 2nd year-hoping for lots of blooms!!! Our weather is similar. If I have her in a sunny enough spot she will perform well! We will see! I may get another & put her in a sunnier spot! She has no BS-so she is a super winner for me! Out of my 120 roses, Olivia is one of the few with zero BS ever…. pouring rains damp soil in fall ongoing. Ok, I think Olivia is gorgeous! I have one similar that blooms kinda like Olivia, called Vicontesse Decaux, (a cross of Earth Angel & Winchester Cathedral), but Vicontesse doesn’t have as beautiful a foliage or bloom as much as Olivia.

Where do you purchase your David Austin roses from?

Bella mine have done pretty well for me here. I don't know the answer to own root vs grafted. Some of mine were new last year so too early to say much, although Christopher Marlow, Princess Alexandra of Kent, and Sharifa did really well for first year roses. Some that I've had for a while are GT, GC, Munstead Wood, Olivia Rose, Mary Rose, Scepter, Queen of Sweden. Of those, I think the best performers for me have been Scepter, Olivia, Mary, and MW. They pretty much all die to the ground over winter, but I don't do much in the way of winter protection. I really hope Christopher winters well, I got 2 and they had blooms pretty much all the time.

If you want a fluffy pink, have you considered Princess Alexandra of Kent? She's about 3.5 x 2.5 and, according to David Austin, has a "delicious fresh tea fragrance with aspects of lemon and blackcurrants." Princess Alexandra of Kent I wouldn't know since I do not grow her, but if I had any space left open, I would definitely plant her in my garden. Austin adds that she is highly fragrant and very healthy also and "ideal for pots and containers." Really BIG blooms, I'm told. Kate

Hi Kristine, I just received a notice Olivia was available for pre order and tried ordering from the David Austin US website, it only ships to the US. :(

Oh LEM, darn it how dissapointing!

I cant believe that DA doesnt sent to Canada.

I will put on my thinking cap and see what I can come up with.

When I called just before 9am Texas time it said they would open at 9am etc. So I called back and it rings busy and then says this number is not equipped for incoming calls.

Oh darn, under the shipping tab the update says We are sorry to confirm that we will not be shipping to Canada this season. At this early stage we are unable to confirm if we are able to supply orders for next season but can confirm you will still be able to make purchases from our trusted nurseries.

LEM - Kristine (on the seasonal thread...love for you to join us there) told me that you are looking for information on Austins in Canada. :) Here's what I told her. Phoenix Perennials has Austins...it's a pretty expensive place...shipping is horrendous. Wildwood Outdoor Living Centre has Austins too...they ship as well. I like how Wildwood ships their roses...lots of feeder roots in a bit of soil. Hope that helps. I'm still waiting to see when their preorders will be up.

Also Wildwood Outdoor living ships

Good luck. I sure hope that you can locate Olivia.

DA has gotten very stingy with selling their roses through other nurseries.

Kristine,

This is true. My local nursery used to carry them and then suddenly they stopped.
