Now that Ashdown Roses is closed, RVR appears to be the only one selling it. Anyone have cuttings?

Is Fubar an Irish term? The acronym we used in the Corps is not a name I expected to see on a rose. Interesting.

The acronym is international. Used in Australia for geological specimens, eg fubarite. Cf leverite (as in "leave her right where she is"). "The rare fossil you've collected with your geologist's hammer is fubarite; the one still in situ is leverite."

I'm a bit late to the party here, but in the US, it means a much less couth version of " 'fouled up' beyond all recognition".
