Love the pics. Some of the prettiest rose pics on site. Good to see elmhurst. My old shrub barely hanging on after too much drought years. Cant buy anymore. Another great astor perry rose about lost. So sad. Same with acadia sunrise by dr edwin bailey. If you still have you are only one. Emailed bailey nursery to see if they still have. None of dr baileys roses appear to be available anymore. Gorgeous rosed he bred too. Thanks for the pics anyway!!

Dear Mark:

My sister, Kathy, is retired and lives in Minneapolis, and since visiting me recently in California and seeing my 80+ rose bushes, has decided she wants to start growing roses again, like she did many years ago in Illinois. However, Minnesota has a different (and shorter) growing season than Illinois, and therefore Kathy would really appreciate it if she could communicate with a fellow Minnesotoan (you) by e-mail or phone, to help her get started. Please respond, Mark, and let me know if that would be okay and how she could get in touch with you. Thank you so much!
