Hi, I see you are growing some of the tenderer teas - I was just about to plant a few myself. I am also in zone 6a/b, but it seems that people are not keen on growing them in this zone (even though it is listed as their hardiness). Can I ask you what your experience has been and which of the teas are better suited to 6? I have been thinking about these: Mme Bravy, Maman Cochet, Tipsy Imperial Concubine, Bon Silene, Mlle. Franziska Kruger. Thank you!
Good evening, I have been on a quest to find one or two Fragrant Memory bushs. I did purchase one from a commercial supplier but I kind of think it wasn't a "real" one. It there any chance you would have one available? If so I would be glad to drive down from Omaha to get it (when it gets warmer). If not, I might have to stop at the house I sold and beg for a clipping, but then I would have no idea what to do with it. Hopefully I can figure it out somehow. Thank you for your time.
If you open the 'Fragrant Memory' entry, you can click on the 'buy from' tab (top right on my computer) to see a list of the nurseries who offer this rose. Some nurseries offer it under the synonym 'Jadis'.
If you can't buy one, here is a variant of a technique developed by Mike Shoup, for striking cuttings in warm weather ; http://heritage.rose.org.au/rose-propagation It's re-written for Australia, so ignore the months it suggests.
If you go to the 'Fragrant Memory' page, there is a 'Buy From' tab. If you click on this it will list nurseries who offer it either under the name 'Fragrant Memory' or 'Jadis'.
