MONET
Hi, Cliff! Would it be possible to get cuttings of your mb 'Monet', or a plant if you have it? I'd be happy to pay you!
Also looking for 'Perfume Tiger'...but it doesn't appear on this list, so not sure if it made it to your new location?

I'm not sure what you mean by "mb." The Monet I have here is, I believe, the Great Western Monet introduced in 1996. I don't have any plants for sale here (of anything). Where are you located? I could send cuttings to you if you provide your mailing address, given that I'm not aware that this rose is covered by a U.S. patent.

Hi, Cliff!
Yes, that 'Monet' (mauve blend), not the apricot blend JAClion introduced at the same time with the same name, that was renamed the following year to 'Grand Impression'. :)
I'm in San Diego, and would love cuttings! I had an original budded plant (about a #1.5 or #2 grade) from the Michigan Bulb Company...Great Western supplies it and its sister companies. I purchased two additional plants--own root--from Vintage Gardens. All three died for various reasons (the budded was weak, I gave one own-root as a gift that died due being overwhelmed by my friend's armillaria-infested soil, and the third was pulled out by an overzealous gardener), and would really like to try again before it's wholly lost to history.
How can we exchange information? I used to be on your old mailing list, but that might not be easy. I can offer you cuttings of 'Aptos', if you're interested? Most of the rest of my roses are more mainstream.
Thanks for the response!!! :)

I just sent a private message to you via HMF. You can respond to that and it will be sent to me as a private message that other members and non-members cannot see.
Thanks, but I am downscaling my garden and almost without exception cannot add new roses at this point. I've grown Aptos before and it's a lovely rose, but I'm not able to add it to this garden.

I have desperately been serching for picture perfect for several years. I would like to use it in my breeding program again but to no avail can i find any sources for it . Do you by chance offer cuttings for sale or know of a source? Many thanks in advance.

I neglected to add that I don't know of any source for it either. Sorry.

What a lovely desert garden. I'm tempted to invite myself for a visit. You seem to have taken a new direction in roses--growing mostly quite modern ones. I am quite taken by the hybrid perpetual Henry Irving--have never heard of let alone seen it before. It appears you might be growing it as a pillar or against a narrow trellis. If that's the case and it's successful, I'd like to know. It would be a rose worth owning.

You're certainly welcome to come for a visit. The best time to see roses in bloom here is October/Nov or Apr/early May. And in spring the once bloomers are in their glory. I have a good number of old garden roses and well over 100 polyanthas. Most of my modern roses are varieties I imported from Europe and sold when I had EuroDesert Roses. Henry Irving is growing in an obelisk, but it hasn't bloomed since spring, leading me to wonder if multiflora rootstock overtook the cultivar.
