What Happened to Lime Sublime?

| In 2008 Lime Sublime seemed to be on sale everywhere. In 2009 I could not find a single plant. In speaking with several large top quality nurseries in my area last week, Lime Sublime does not even appear on their 2010 rose order sheets bareroot or in containers. Was Lime Sublime very disease prone, or why does it seem that it has disappeared from the market? |

| I believe some of our nicer nurseries are offering it this spring here in NW Ga. I hope to get one this year so I hope its not disease prone because it looks gorgeous. |

| I saw it in 2008 too and thought it was really pretty. Now I regret not getting it since it has become much harder to find. |

| This is a lovely rose with a very delicate color, however it is a blackspot magnet. |

| Horrible blackspot for me and puny. Gone. |

| Has anyone tried the St Patricks rose or the other Lime rose by Kordes? I heard St Pats really likes heat so I wasnt sure about here in NJ. I thought it would be nice next to Perfume Delight, a deep blue pink. |

| St Patick is notoriously winter tender in New England. Blooms usually don't open up fully unless its hot. I have a plant in the warmest part of the yard, between two asphalt driveways. |

| Thanks zack. I thought as much. What is it with yellows in that range? |

| Black spot resistance as well as susceptibility, varies greatly from one location to the next. I sold it along the SoCal coast and couldn't get enough of them. NO diseases at all and a luscious color everyone loved. But, it is a Dickson rose from Britain. That contract probably fell through the cracks in Week's bankruptcy and sale, leaving the patented rose orphaned. From my observations here, it was a good rose for these types of climates and should have remained available instead of quite a few others which are still plodding along. Kim |
