| I got Belinda's Dream at Antique Rose Emporium; you couldn't ask for a better bloomer here in Texas! |

| Bob, if you look these (or any) roses up on Help Me Find/Roses (just google it), after you SEARCH for the rose and find it, there is a button at the top that says "buy from". Click on it, and it will give you a list of nurseries which carry the rose, and where they are located. Jackie |

Bob, both roses you inquired about are well-known and available from a variety of sources. Doing at jacqueline3 suggested would be my first move. HelpMeFind does not always list every possible source, but its the best place to check first.
My two cents' worth is to point out that you might want to think about what rootstock your roses will grow on. If you're in California, the preferred rootstock is Dr. Huey. Most nurseries on the West Coast either use Dr. Huey or propagate ownroot plants. In your situation, I would avoid multiflora, but the other main choices,--Dr. Huey, Fortuniana(good for any warm climate), or own-root would probably all do well for your area and those rose varieties. Be aware that many varieties grown on their own roots will take longer to mature but ultimately might survive "forever" instead of a decade or two or three, as often happens with grafted roses. Just some food for thought to help you narrow down your choices if you find you have too many. |

| If Regan Nursery in Fremont is within driving distance, I'd highly recommend it. They also ship bareroots. |

| If you want them on fortuniana rootstock, K&M Nursery is the way to go. |

| Chamblee's in Tyler Texas is good too, and ships one gallons which can save you some shipping. ARE is great too!! can't go wrong either way!! enjoy! (both these will be own root). |
