I noticed that you grow Catherine Mermet and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to trade some cuttings of it or send me some if I paid for shipping and packaging?
I would be very interested to know which rose varieties you have found to be most disease resistant in your garden. I prefer to garden without chemicals or sprays too, so I always try to find disease resistant varieties when I buy roses.
The most disease-resistant varieties in my yard are Mutabilis, Gold Medal, Midas Touch, Mary Rose, L.D. Braithwaite, Whisky Mac, Sombreuil, and Opening Night.
I am trying to locate a Whisky Mac TANky variety but none of the listed nursuries are comming up with anything. Do you have and resources for this rose? We had to leave our behind in Florida.
