| Pickering's recent news sent me scrambling to see if I could replace the roses I had ordered through them in September. This year I had spread my orders around a bit and only had four on order from them. Two were easy to find elsewhere. The other two...not so much. I thought others might be in the same boat and thought we could post what has been difficult to locate in case others come across them in their search. Please keep an eye out for: Both were available in Vintage's fall releases, but I missed them while they were available. |

| I changed my order over to David Austin which had two I really wanted (including Munstead Wood!) and to Palatine which had another one I wanted. And the missing one from my Pickering order gave me an opportunity to order Pomponella Fairy Tale instead from Palatine--not a bad deal since I've been wanting Pomponella for some time now. So, all things considered, I'm doing fine now--though I feel sorry for the Pickering people. Kate |

| Zaphod, I believe I saw Belle sans Flatterie at Long Ago Roses. Best of luck. I'm scrambling too. Added to my Palatine order. Susan |
|
| @zaphod42: I have a hefty rooted division of 'Belle sans Flatterie' I can send you if you wish. Contact me, please: paul "at" paulbardenroses "dot" com (You can figure that out, I have no doubt) |

| I am looking for Tantau's "Astrid Grafin von Hardenberg". In the past, Hortico had it, but no longer does. Diane |
|
| Yep, replaced mine with a Palatine order as well. Of the six I had ordered from Pickering, Palatine had 3 of them. I'm also on the hunt for R. Primula which was part of my Pickering order :( Tammy |
|
| Tammy, try Greenmantle for R. primula. They carry it but may already be sold out. Greenmantle is old-fashioned, you have to call to see about availability. Marissa is very nice to talk to and very knowledgeable, so the call is always fun. I was lucky enough to get R. primula from Pickering last year. This is a wonderful rose and HUGE now. Also, it has been raining today, and the lovely scent of incense is blanketing the whole garden. Yum! Melissa |

| I am with you. Placed an order with DA and Regans to make up for some. Emailed Palatine to add to my order for a few but have not heard back from them. Still looking for a source for White Cap and Velvet Fragrance. Heirloom has it but I was hoping for something bigger than their small bands as both of these are going in premium spots at the front of my property surrounded by larger roses and I would like to not wait for them to fill out. Might be trying Firefighter and Cloud 10 from Edmunds instead. |
|
| I had Velvet Fragrance on order, too. Ended up ordering Dreams Come True (Senator Burda) from Hortico. It's supposed to be very fragrant and, from what I can see, the rose looks very nice. My last roses from Hortico (two years ago) were among the biggest in my garden this year so here's hoping... |
|
| I've grown Velvet Fragrance for several years (own root) and in this climate, it's a very good, very healthy, very fragrant red HT. As a garden plant, it is worlds better than the old Legend. Kim |
