High Country Roses has it listed as being in stock. They are a reputable nursery that sells own root band sized plants through mail order. If you click on the "description" tab on the link below, it will tell more information about this rose.

Tessiess, SoCal Inland, 9b, 1272' elev

I have Rosa canina 'Laxa' from Greenmantle Nursery in California. Wonderful healthy rose in my garden. Very, very vigorous. Fairly drought tolerant. Needs little care (I rarely bother to feed it anything). Although a once bloomer, it flowers over a long period. Produces lots of flowers and sets hundreds upon hundreds of hips. They are quite tasty once ripe (tasteless when green). I eventually will remember to try making tea with these hips, which are supposed to be high in vitamin c.

Greenmantle is own-root only and takes orders either over the phone or by snail mail. They have a nice website, but orders cannot be placed on it. An old-fashioned establishment. Highly recommended.

High Country Roses also is a good source for roses.

I would agree with a few others about Frederic Mistral--its strong and lovely scent, plus vase life make it my best rose for a bouquet. But it does get big--for me, about seven plus feet tall, and six feet wide. Too bad my problematic rose, Caramel Antique doesn't have a scent to speak of because it lasts forever in a vase for me (it's a florist rose). I think it must mummify! It's also the deers' favorite candy and produces just a few blooms per season. Golden Celebration is a very lasting and good smelling Austin for me. Evelyn does well, too. Diane

I've grown a couple of different Oklahomas with no success. I loved the fragrance, but the plants have always been weak. The fact that this is an ownroot plant worries me, as many of the Hybrid Teas that I have grown ownroot have been similarly weak. Around here, many Hybrid Teas are more vigorous when grafted.
I have had good success with Papa Meilland (own root), and Mr Lincoln (grafted), and Firefighter (both own root and grafted. All three are tall, and powerfully fragrant. But if you want a short, fragrant, Red climber, I have read good things about Don Juan. I have not grown it myself.
It would be good for you to talk to some rose growers in your area, as that seems to be a major factor regarding success. Certain varieties do better in certain climes.
Good luck with the Oklahoma, it really does smell terrific!

Does Royal William do well in your area? You might have a look at that one.

Erasmus, if your rose is a small own-root I suppose it might not look totally true with the first few blooms. I know some of my little own-roots I got from Cliff a few yrs ago did not bloom true til the plants got bigger. But your bloom doesn't have the ruffled form, and the pointy tips on the petal edges are not typical of BB. Hopefully in the subsequent bloomings if it is BB, it will start looking more like it. I guess it'll just be a waiting game.

Thanks, Beth. If it's not BB I hope I can identify what I've got. BB seems like it should be more widely available.

If they are small bands that you're trying to grow up then yes, disbudding will help them to root and grow quicker. If they are larger bare roots or potted roses I don't think it matters. I do think you should let one bloom to make sure you have the correct rose. Even very good nurseries can make a mistake now and then.

Thanks all. Ken, this is one of 5 palatine bare root plants that I planted several months ago. The root systems were robust so it sounds like it won't be too beneficial to remove the buds.

Great, thanks for all this information. I think it must be as tough as old boots as it & another the same sort have been growing for decades next door, with absolutely no attention apart from being cut back occasionally. So hopefully I won't kill it.

Glenburn(z8/z9 Mudgee, NSW Aust)

Hi Robynne,
From the shots you have provided I think it is Queen Elizabeth.
The second shot, I do not think it is a sucker as mentioned. The plant could be cutting grown as QE does grow well from cuttings, when you planted it did it have a big nob with the two older canes coming from it. Again you might have planted the graft below ground level. The shoot on the left hand side in the second shot is what would be called a water shoot. The skinny stem has damage to it and in my opinion I would remove it down to about 50mm above the ground. The two older canes(grey colour), there is one with a new shoot, I again would cut this back to just above the new shoot. The other one I would cut back to about 25mm above ground as it also has damage,. As for rootstock in Australia we have three basic varieties, Dr Huey, Multiflora and Fortuniana. Hope this helps a bit. Regards David.

Hi AquaEyes, Thanks for the info on roses bred by Girija and Viru Viraraghavan. For the past hour i have been going through the 60+ rose varieties of theirs, and now I'm scouring the web looking for online nurseries which not only sells their roses online, but are able to send bare root plants to Malaysia from anywhere around the world.

Would be great if any of you would have information on which nursery would ship to Malaysia, bare root roses. :)

Christopher, U of Fl has bred some wonderful peaches for Florida that require little if any chill, and and I grow some of them. Flavor and texture are amazing. I haven't tried the apples. Now, if someone would develop a cherry tree for Florida, I would be set.

I also have several own-root. While not as large as the ones I have on Fort, they are vigorous and bloom a lot.

Sorry, just curious as to why you had the rose sitting in a bucket of water for two weeks? What part of the plant were you planning on cutting? We have lots of folks here that grow roses in containers, so there is a wealth of knowledge here.

In case you have not bought clippers yet, Costco has the two packs, comes with an extra blade for each, extra springs, a sharpener and a holster all for under $30

Kathy, lots and lots of bloom would be lovely. Mine will be in morning sun only which may not be optimal, but I have a feeling the flowers will burn badly here in all-day sun. Fortunately, roses can always be moved. I'm not sure I like the really long canes but this was an impulse purchase so I have to accept whatever it does. I do love the color.

In my Chicagoland garden Fragrant Plum isn't very vigorous, or floriferous, but it sure is appreciated. Scent is excellent, color is unique.

I'm envious, mustbnuts. You must have an inside connection to know in advance what roses will be up for auction. The event isn't at their usual meeting place and you must RSVP. Sorry, to my knowledge, the auction is set up as a private event due to permit requirements. However, other rose societies are welcome and you anyone can participate in the auction by proxy.

Lol difference I guess between being the husband and the wife. She doesn't roll her eyes. She hasn't made me get rid of one yet though :)

My husband uses my gardening hobby to justify his new toys. Last weekend he bought an auger for the tractor. Which is funny because I've alway dug my own holes...

32-gallon trash can with wheels. Tote it around the beds, use a smaller bucket to put the product on as a drench.

I don't use fish emulsion as a foliar feed. Many of them have a lot of oils, and I have had leaf burn.

I use a hose end sprayer to apply my fish emulsion. It's quick and easy and I can do my 100+ roses in no time at all.

Nobody, eh? lol Well, a little further research turned up this link: http://californiaagriculture.ucanr.edu/landingpage.cfm?article=ca.v052n03p32&fulltext=yes

Not sure whether it's worth the price, but it looks as though it's effective.
