I got mine form Rogue Valley Roses last yr I think it was. They show it as currently available.

Here is a link that might be useful: RVR

I purchased mine from RVR last year too. Mine has not grown well. I'd say it is one of my least vigorous....
Beautiful bloom though. What about you Beth?

Greenmantle. Not a vigorous plant for me but the flowers are special.

Thanks for the help. This one is kind of special to me. My mother was married in 1950 and her bouquet was Talisman Roses. She had a bush at the house we grew up in but it has since died. She lives with me now and I want to get one to put outside her room.

I just recieved Talisman from Burlington earlier this week.

I think it's kind of a tough one to get going as an own-root. I have tried it from Vintage Gardens on numerous occasions, and it always died on me before it got very big. The one I got from RVR has done pretty well and bloomed once. Ya gotta look quick tho, cuz the blooms blow pretty fast.

Well if it is a special rose for your Mom maybe you could see if you could find or have it grafted. Mine is a total creeper (if you don't have the time or patience to wait).
The bloom I got was gorgeous.
How thoughtful of you.
