| Specifically, I can't find anywhere to purchase Hazeldean. Harrison's Yellow was not hardy for me. (We had a frost this morning). Ideally I would like to buy at least ten plants, so a wholesale place would be great. |

| I'm not sure where you can purchase Hazeldean (HMF only lists nurseries overseas), but High Country Roses specializes in cold hardy roses. They're have a sale right now too. Check them out, if you haven't... Tammy |

| If Harison's Yellow wasn't hardy, it means you have done something wrong. First figure out what that was, so you don't do it again. Then pretty much any nursery that sells Explorers would be a decent place to start. |

| HelpMeFind says that the hybridizer, P. Wright wrote that he crossed R. spinosissima altaica with 'Harison's Yellow.' to create Hazeldean. While it sounds like a great hardy rose, so is Harison's Yellow. You shouldn't have lost it to winter. Like MG says, you need to figure out why you were unsuccessful with it. It looks like an unlikely prospect to find any nursery in the States with Hazeldean, let alone a "wholesale place." There would have to be a great demand for it, you understand, for wholesalers to stock it in great quantity. If you really want it, your best bet would be sending out a plea for a cutting or sucker from someone who grows it. And since it is more likely that would be someone in Canada, you could have trouble bringing it into the U.S. So how about giving us more detail about your experience with Harison's Yellow and let us see if we can help you identify the problem? |

| Thank you all for your thoughts and comments. Not much to tell. I planted a Harison's yellow (this is maybe ten years ago) in full sun, good soil etc. It did fine during the growing season, but the next year it was a goner - and I don't know why. Just an odd fluke probably. Not being a patient person, I assumed it wasn't hardy here. On your (all) advice I am going to try again. I have a greenhouse/nursery business and on the perennial/flowering shrub side I specialize in bone hardy plants. I keep narrowing down my rose selection and next year will stick with Henry Kelsey, Therese Bugnet and ... (ulp) Harison's yellow. Again - thanks from northern Vermont. |
