| Couple of years ago they were in a tussle with the inspection agency and couldn't ship to USA. How did that come out? |

| Pickering ships to the U.S. now. I received 3 roses this spring. Carol |

| Do they still bud on Multiflora? |

| Yes, they bud on Multiflora. I got some pretty tiny Austins. One of my Chandos Beauty didn't make it. They gave me a refund. Evidently they had a really rough winter. It seems they are the only nursery where one can get Austins on mf. Susan |

| And of course, mf is the LAST thing I want! To give an example ... our first Golden Celebration, from Hortico, and budded on mf, has been here since the year of its release, and is huge . . . but it still struggles from time to time with chlorosis. Three other GCs flank that one. One is own-root, and the other two are on Dr. Huey. None of those is ever chlorotic. |

| That may be true for anyone in California, but if you live in the north and you're going with a grafted rose, multiflora rootstock is the way to go. Just as someone from Florida should be looking for fortuniana. There's a lot to consider when you choose a vendor of a rose you want, besides just "do they have it in stock." I've bought many, many roses from Pickering over the years BECAUSE they were grafted on multiflora and they've all done well for me up here in northern Michigan. Here's hoping Pickering comes out of the damage last winter's horrible weather did to them and does well with this year's growing season. I'd hate to lose yet another rose vendor. |

| One of the members of my Rose Society suggested that we get roses on MF because the roots go deep and that would help with drought conditions we sometimes have. Since we have clay soil, the theory is that the roots would be down deep in the clay where it likely never dries out. I have a gift certificate for Palantine and I should probably use it. I will try this fall. |
