I expect I will grow it another two years before I make any decisions about its long term merit. Glad you like it!

The flowers remind me of Tradescant, a rose that Austin released without any hesitation. That said, Tradescant was a rather miserable grower for me, with rather weak and floppy canes. It did flower well, but the blooms browned horribly in the rather tepid sun of San Francisco. I can't imagine how they would fare in a hotter climate. Despite this rather dubious performance, Tradescant sold well for a number of years before being withdrawn from the market. Sometimes flower color trumps everything. I bet you'd find many folks willing to trial this rose for you, me included!

Its no coincidence that it has 'Tradescant' as a grandparent. :-)

where will this wonderful rose be available?

This is still a test variety and it will be at least two years before it will be considered for commercial availability. Thanks for asking.

thanks for replying. I admire your dark red old-rose breeds. Rook is in commerce, but still not available (out of stock at Rogue Valley Roses) - is there any other chance to get hold of any of your wunderful breeds?

Hello Cyra,
At this time, Rogue Valley Roses is the sole distributor for my hybrids. 'Rook' is one that was released as a Special Edition variety this year and will probably only be available in limited numbers from year to year. I suggest you email me with some information about your location and cultural conditions and you might be eligible as a test garden for some of my newer hybrids.

Thanks for that tip. I wasn't concerned too much about privacy, though; that is a very public email address. :-)

This is not what I would call pink. Is Jäger wrong, or Sangerhausen?

No. It is a rather dark, somewhat blueish red. The color is pretty close in the photo.It is a rather unusual color for a rambler. It grows next to a large Euterpe, I don't know the sector-number, sorry. I checked carefully for the label, since the rose interested me, due to it's color. There was no other label anywhere close. There also wasn't any similar rambler close by.
Since it is a rose bred in CSSR, and Sangerhausen probabely had good access to buy it, I guess that it is rather Jäger, who is wrong in this case.
