I'm afraid not. I checked old garden inventories and it appears on a list dated 2006, but I frankly don't even remember whether it survived after that. It definitely isn't one that made the move to my new location in the low desert. Sorry.

Well then, it is most likely extinct :/ Maybe Burling has it.

You might check with her. I don't see it on the most recent nursery list I have from her, but that's a year or two old.

Paul Barden has it listed as a rose he grows, so you might also check with him.

Good Evening Cliff:
I have been on a quest for months to attempt to locate the rose "Esperanza". This rose is very special to myself and my Family. As you are probably aware, "Esperanza" translated from Spanish to English is "HOPE".
I was very excited to see that you had posted the picture of the "Esperanza", hoping that you can help me to locate this rose so that I might purchase three of them for myself and my Siblings. All various leads on helpmefind have proved negative (K&M Roses --Mississippi).
Any help, referrals, leads would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
All the Best !
Frank Tealdi

Frank,
I just replied to your comment on the Esperanza photo page, and I'm afraid that I'm not aware of anyone offering Esperanza in this country. HMF lists K&M as a source, but apparently they were not able to help you. I'm so very sorry.

I am trying to locate a Whisky Mac TANky variety but none of the listed nursuries are comming up with anything. Do you have and resources for this rose? We had to leave our behind in Florida.

From your message I assume you already tried Heirloom and Roses Unlimited.
It's a very popular rose in Europe and sold by many nurseries, but unfortunately isn't well known in this country and not often available. I just did a google search though and it appears to be available on ebay here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whiskey-Mac-Rose-Live-Plant-Bare-Rooted-/261185752135
Other than that, I didn't find anything. I hope the ebay option works out for you. Good luck!

Thanks. Hadn't thought of Ebay because of the relatively small market interest this would generate.

I hadn't thought of it specifically, but it showed up in a google search for the rose.

I got one there. You and the other HMF people that responded are the best!

PERFUME TIGER
Hi, Cliff! Did 'Perfume Tiger' make it out to your new abode in the Low Desert? If so, may I get some cuttings from you? Thank you!

Sorry, but Perfume Tiger isn't one of the roses I have in the new garden. I have a much smaller garden here.
All the best,
Cliff
