| This is a 2013-14 introduction in Europe meaning it was available as bare root starting last fall, so even customers in Europe won't know much about it yet. If DA sees it fit it may reach your shores by the next bare root season. Previous year's introductions have all been released in the US this season afaik. Nik |

| Thanks Kippy and Nik. I know this rose hasn't been released in the US yet, but I believe Austin trials many of their roses in American gardens before they're released here, and I was hoping I might get word from someone trialing it. Even information from Europe would be helpful, though preliminary. For example, I have five new Austin varieties -- bareroot -- planted just months ago, as well as one Tantau, and SdlM Cl bareroot, just planted weeks ago. For most of these roses, I can already tell you the colors and forms of the early blooms, their approximate growth rate, how healthy they appear, whether the early canes are stout or flexible, and a rough estimate of the buds and blooms. How that relates to the way these roses will perform down the line, I don't know -- but it's at least something to start with. I'll tell you one thing: I don't remember ever having bareroot roses that shot out the gate like these Austins. Some are already halfway up their support structures and covered with buds and/or beautiful blooms. And our planting conditions have been terrible; high 50s (with nights in the 40s) one week, mid nineties the next. I want to thank all the people on this forum who helped me choose, and if anyone has early information about the Albrighton Rambler, I'll be very grateful. jannike |
