Is it available anywhere?? If not anyone know a good substitute with the color/shape combo that is available? Grace e |

| I have wanted Astrid for some time, and as far as I could find out, she is not being sold anywhere in the U.S. or Canada, including Hortico. Astrid's blooms closely resemble another Tantau rose, Ascot, of which I have two, and really love. I believe the growth habit of Astrid is different from Ascot's (Ascot is a grandiflora), but the blooms are very similar. Ascot is available from the Canadian nursery, Palatine Roses. Let us know if you find a seller for Astrid. Diane |

| I got this rose from Hortico in 2009. I don't see it listed now, but you might call them and see if they can find one for you. Mine is a medium size plant now. It doesn't bloom a lot, but when it does, the blooms are lovely. |

| I'm also looking for this plant! It's absolutely beautiful. Snowheather, thank you for that pic! |

| Angel Gardens has it. I'm on a wait list for it. Not sure of its general availability. |

| If I may help, it is a Tantau rose, do you not have an agent over there for them, the reason I say this is that I am in Australia and would love some of thier roses, http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.40251 |

| Thanks for each of your replies. On a whim last year I contacted angel gardens and was able to request a custom root and I am now the proud owner of this lovely rose (and is now buried under a foot of straw to protect her from the storm coming our way). Angel garden was wonderful to work with and has an excellent selection of roses and I am waiting on five more including another tantau rose "duchess of Cornwall". Grace e |

| Tantau doesn't have an agent in N America, according to the owners of Palatine when I inquired last year. This is why we can't get all their newer beautiful roses, though some have been "poached", as I put it, perhaps because Tantau didn't patent certain roses soon enough. This seems to be what happened with Blue Bayou, a Kordes rose. You can still purchase Ascot and Augusta Luise, but Astrid seems to have disappeared from the general market, just like Blue Bayou.

| I got ASTRID from Hortico in 2008 also. Mine is planted in a bed that probably needs some amending. It doesn't bloom much. But like Snowheather said, when it does bloom, they're lovely! |
