I have grown this rose for three years now and I love it. The blooms are always strikingly beautiful and fragrant. Dark reddish purple blooms with loads of petals appear in clusters on this upright bush which can easly attain 6 or 7 feet tall in a season after having been pruned down to 3 feet.

This is a rose that needs larger distribution! It is truly a great one, and I don't say that lightly.

I am here rooting for this rose. I am curious as to its ancestry and who hybridized it.

I am a long-time Boeing employee (41 years) and I recently found information on a Boeing history site about the 777 Rose which was named after the Boeing 777 airplane. I'm planning my garden for our retirement home, and I am trying to find a nursery who carries this rose. You have the most recent posting, so I was hoping you would share information on where you bought your plant.

If you check the 'Buy From' tab, you will see which nursery supplies '777'.

I am the person who revived the 777 roses at Boeing in Everett. THe grower had discontinued the 777 rose production due to lack of interest. I am trying to get them to revive the production. If you still have an interest, please contact me at Boeing. D. Glen Jackson
