Does any of you grow these roses? Are they available on their own root anywhere? How do they do in a warm climate? How huge will they get?

To my knowledge, Summer Song has never been released in the US. Neither version (grafted or own root) is available here. Boscobel is only available grafted at this time as it was just released last year. Lady Emma can be found own root at both Chamblees and Roses Unlimited. LOS can be found at Roses Unlimited and at David Austin directly.

Thank you both, Edenh and rfcfishlady. I seem to be leaning towards roses that are pinks and apricots this year and like the ones with the undersides of the petals to be a different color. Boscobel sure is pretty and love Lady Emma. I only have room for 4 roses this year, so I am trying to choose wisely and get something that will blend and fit in my tiny yard. Appreciate the info very much. Edenh, would love pictures when your rose start to grow in the spring,

I have Evelyn and it is a beautiful pink/apricot with a wonderful fragrance. It's in it's first year for me and has been very vigorous and hardy in my zone 8 in se Texas.

I have Boscobel (grafted), Lady Emma and LOS own root, all new this year so it it a bit soon to tell. I do love the flowers on all three. Their colors are beautiful. I'm in zone 5 so my growing season is quite short and all have remained small in their first season. I also got Carding Mill and PAK this year and love the flowers on them too. Jubilee Celebration has gorgeous flowers, but she isn't as floriferous as I had hoped.
