Hi, Warda!

This is what I answered to the post by "Terry" last year, and might have information that you can use. As an update a year later, my baby 'Patsy Cline' has flowered and is still relatively small (as compared to bareroot roses) but doing well! Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello, Terry! I'm so sorry I didn't reply sooner...I could have sworn I wrote something over a year ago on this subject. :(

In any case, outside of the Canadian company that has been mentioned on the Patsy Cline website, the only way I know to get this rose, without having someone who has it already take cuttings and root it for you (which is how I got my original 'Patsy Cline' plant), is to contact UC Davis' Foundation Plant Services http://fpms.ucdavis.edu/ Its purpose is to distribute plant materials, including roses, that have been tested and treated to be free of specific viruses that reduce the viability of the infected plant: http://fpms.ucdavis.edu/Rose/rosebackground.html 'Patsy Cline' appears on their list: http://fpms.ucdavis.edu/WebSitePDFs/Price&VarietyLists/RoseVarietyList091505.pdf

There are a bunch of hoops that you have to be willing to jump through, if you wish to go the UC Davis / FPMS route: http://fpms.ucdavis.edu/WebSitePDFs/Price&VarietyLists/RoseMaterialPriceList091903.pdf. I, and two other women did this as a group, and from my batch of 10 green leaf cuttings, I successfully rooted one 'Patsy Cline' rose, which I am watching excitedly to see if it grows biger, stronger, and more floriferous than the one given to me by the friend, which I believe is virused (not my friend's fault: some nurseries didn't care about quality control, and were using virused rootstock when growing and distributing their stock; in fact, some named roses can't be pruchased unvirused for this reason, if you can believe that!).

Anyway, it's a bit time-consuming, and a heck of a lot harder than just going to Home Depot and buying a bunch of plants that are ready to go, but depending on how serious you are about acquiring this rare rose, it may be a way to go for you. Good luck!

I have just purchased a distiller to produce plant oils. My lavender turned out fabulous but Im having problems with rose. It just smells like artichoke or something else green. Is there a particular rose that makes the best Rose of Attar??? Thank you for your time. Judy Ann Brezina	REPLY

I would use the damask roses... Kazanlik is the same rose used in Bulgaria to make Rose Attar. There are two different clones out there one with a quartered old rose formation and the other being rather sloppy. You want that sloppy one which can be purchased at Antique Rose Emporium. But it takes two years from planting before it blooms and more years before it can become smothered with roses...

Other roses that I've heard that are being used to make attar is Gertrude Jeckyll and Evelyn, both David Austin English roses...

Sounds like you included greenery as well as petals? If so, remove the petals from the green base of the flower first before distilling.	REPLY

Can anyone tell me where I might find this particular rose? Wayne D. Coomer	REPLY

This rose is not being sold anymore sopposedly due to its lack of merrits-- it is very fragrant, and although a bit disease prone, a very nice rose that deserves to be in commerce. There's one growing at San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. Jack E. Christensen's, the hybridizer, website states that the parentage of this rose is Angel Face x First Prize, and not Double Delight x Angel Face.	REPLY
