'Ascot' rose Reviews & Comments

Does anyone know where to find this rose in the US? I know Palatine carries it and can ship to the US but they are ALWAYS sold out of it. Plus I would prefer to have an own root plant.

I bought mine from Palatine Roses. They open for business each September for shipments the following spring. Perhaps if you got on their mailing list, you could nab one while they have them. Remember that (stateside*) iAscot will likely get six to eight feet high in one season.
I know that Palatine's list of exotic and tough HTs is almost irresistible, but while you are there, you might consider the minis Water Lily and Roxy. Both are of easy care and quite generous with their flowers. Even as I contemplate removing Cupcake and Winsome, I seem to buy more Water Lily and Roxy every year.
Good Luck

I bought several in the year of introduction, 2015 or 2014. They are vigorous growers. I did find that they would tend to get lanky and go downhill from there after a few years; but this is the first rose cultivar in my garden ever to fully recover from being severely pruned. Most die after pruning or they just sulk until I dig them up and throw them away.

It would be helpful to get clarification on the size. Height of 0.0625' to 1" (2 to 3 cm) is obviously a mistake. Width of up to 18" (up to 45 cm) doesn't seem consistent with member photos and comments.
Thanks :)

Should be 2 to 3 feet. Thank you for the heads-up!

2-to-3 feet cannot be right, at least in my neck of the hood. I planted one grafted on Multiflora in April 2013. By October 2013, it had five straigth, long canes and were a little less than 6 feet. I don't know how wide the mature plant will get, but it will be much taller than 3 feet for sure. I planted it in the front of the bed initially, and had to move it to the back. It has poor blackspot resistance in my Northern NJ garden last year, and I am looking forward to seeing how it does this year.
