Does anyone have a source for this rose in the US? I don't see any in the 'Buy From' tab, but I surely would like to grow one in my garden.

Mr. Google shows several vendors in Canada, perhaps one of them may ship to the states.

Thank you. None of the Canadian vendors I've looked at have a shipping option to the states. I'd consider driving to Canada to get it, but then I have to figure out border crossings and agricultural inspections. I'm hoping to find an easier way.

Is there a reason this one isnt more popular? Seems like it should have been popular in Northern countries???

Olds College rose was tested in the Canadian Artist series trials but was rejected as it is prone to powdery mildew. It is a nice well-behaved rose with lots of blooms and shiny leaves. I grew out one open-pollinated seedling and it was clean.

I recently got 'Morden Sunrise' for 6 dollars. It was busting at the seams with new basals, which I thought was intriguing. I am fairly sure it defoliates here, but I may try it on a BS resistant variety. It is a shame that it is nearly single, but I feel like it has potential for Pernet colors in it.
I have a seedling of 'Morden Blush' x 'Watercolors Home Run' that doesn't get BS like MB does. I liked the ethereal sweetheart look of the blooms of MB, but dang is it big and it gets BS here.
