| Hello everyone,
I am having trouble locating these 5 roses that I really enjoy. I have spots picked out for them in my garden along a cottage garden that will look great. However, I can't seem to find them in bare root form (I only cut roses)- any advice or direction would be very much appreciated...
Sahara
Metalina
Amnesia
Quick Sand
Hypnose
Thank you again for any advice!

| Where did you see these roses? Most of them don't even show up on HMF. The two that do are Sahara and Amnesia. Hortico has Sahara but Amnesia is only available in Europe. |

Hello,
Thank you all for the replies. I looked at the Sahara you mentioned and it looks like it's orange. The Sahara I had seen was sand colored. Maybe it's called Ecuadorean Sahara?
I recently went to a wedding that used all of these cut roses and I decided that I could use them in my cottage garden along with mother of pearl poppies, etc.
However, they seem impossible to find? |

| A lot of florist roses are just that, grown for florists. Unless those you saw at the wedding came out of a local garden, I would not try too hard to find them. Many are not in commerce and most florist roses are not very hardy without a lot of chemical assistance and, if you are in Northern NM, might not survive the winter. I'd try to find something similar. If you can post pictures of what you saw, people can probably suggest similar roses with better survival prospects. |

| I agree with catrose. Florist roses are bred for very specific traits and are raised in greenhouse conditions where everything is sprayed consistently. Most of them are not at all suitable for the average garden and usually not particularly winter hardy. If we know what they look like I'm sure we can find you suitable look a like garden varieties! |

| Thank you all very much! This explains why I only find the cut flower form. I didn't understand the difference between a florist rose and a bush. I'll add pictures of the flowers I'm talking about. Thank you all very much!! |

| If Amnesia were available here, I'd have that one in my garden by now. I've been cyber-stalking it for the better part of 3 years. |

| We're using 'Quick Sand' in my daughter's wedding next month; gorgeous, champagne-colored rose with faint pink on the edges. It's definitely a florist rose that I believe comes from Ecudor. It's become very popular in the florist trade. I may try to root it; fingers crossed! |
