I have a garden that get's very wet during the winter - I was wondering if there's any rootstock that can help roses not to be to badly hurt by this ie. Rosa palustris - The swamp rose. Has anybody tried this or heard about varieties that are "water" resistant?

Hi
I'm looking for Lady Duncan and can see that you have listed one - is this still alive?

No, it's not, and I can't find any source. It may be extinct, or only in a private garden somewhere.

Thanx for the answer.
For some reason somebody here on HMF has put it as a hexaploid hybrid Rugosa which makes it very interesting from a breeding perspective. So I'm looking for it.
Cheers

There is an old reference from 1937 which states a ploidy of 42 for 'Lady Duncan', which is unusual if the parentage is correct. On the other hand, the reference is actually quite reliable.

Torben the owner is probably the one person in Denmark that knows most about Old Garden Roses
