You have the loveliest garden! I love to see your photos. Where did you find Candice? I can’t source her anywhere! She is just lovely.

Sorry I missed your post! I lost all my roses to RRD in 2022 and I was off a lot of rose sites for a while. Digging out 850 roses in the month of March was exhausting and devastating.
I appreciate your very gracious comment! I'm hoping to return to roses after a lot of replanting and hope it'll be lovely again.
For Candice the only place I've ever seen her was a brief period when Ludwig Roses sold in the US (maybe 2016-17). For another year, Agave Farms was willing to ship some gallons including those uncommon roses, but now Agave sells the usual fare and only locally.
Heirloom has started to sell Ludwig roses and other unusual types so I'm hoping it comes there since obviously Candice was lost in 2022.

Beautiful! Were you able to/did you try to propagate it? Is it stable? It's just lovely.

Sexy Rexy, which is usually more pink than this photo, is easily available through Home Depot every year when they put out their bare roots.

Hello, Jeff. I hope this finds you doing well. Would you consider at some point sharing cuttings of Kim Rupert's 'Ice Cube?" We are interested in introducing it to commerce, or at least attempting to, and your garden seems to be one of the only remaining sources. I understand from Kim (if I understood correctly) that you have been in recovery from cancer. I sincerely wish you the best, and hope that you continue to recover in good health and spirits. Of course, I do not wish for you to attempt to address my request until you are completely comfortable with it. There is no rush; this is a long term desire, and your well-being is of far more importance. Again, wishing you all the best.

Sweetest little rose. Quite the bloom machine for me! Transplanted in the middle of summer, along with a great many other things in my garden, and it's been the star of the show. The fluffy, little candy pink blooms are always there, nice form to the bush, and quite disease resistant. Fairly new, so we'll see how it does long term, but so far it's been just lovely.
- Update, 5/2024 - I stand by my review, with even higher praise. It's the highlight of the garden right now, and I have 100's of plants. Died to the ground with a rough winter, but came back with a vengeance and is one of only a handful of roses that look like actual bushes in my garden right now (the rest of them are puny 1-3 stick lollipops, having never regained their strength after the nasty winter). Blooming like a fool, such a unique color , and the blooms are beautiful in all stages. As they fade they turn a pale lavender shade, and don't get that dirty TP look that so many others do. They fall off gracefully after a long and fulfilling presence.
