Royal Celebration - another Carruth possibility

This little rose looks just perfect for the alloted space in my garden (better for me, I think, than Ebbtide. Twilight Zone is, sadly, not available here yet so, with fingers hovering over 'add this to your basket', what is the consensus on this rose?
Astonishingly, even this early in the season, some vendors are selling out of next season's bare roots!

*** HEY! That sounds like roses are receiving a renaissance in GB! If so, I am happy to hear that. May the sentiment speed its way across the sea to us!

hope so, Jeri. Course, it could be because we are all so rainbound and bored we are already in that fantasy zone of 'next years garden' and shopping like crazy.

Or, they finally got smart and trimmed their orders so none have to be marked down, dumped or carried over. If you have a healthy canned plant season, that's great and the more cost effective method of obtaining them. If you don't, why order more than you potentially need? Yes, you limit sales by cutting orders, but you also sell them all for full price and get your money out of them now, before you have to pay for them. Kim

Looks as tho any responses to Companula's request for opinions abt 'Royal Celebration' will have to come from European gardeners. I find it interesting that a rose bred fairly recently in the U.S. by a preeminent American hybridizer is available only in foreign markets, and evidently never has been available here. Does that say something about the current state of affairs in the U.S. rose industry?
