I got mine from Vintage Gardens, now defunct. It suckers wildly, so I'd be happy to send you cuttings.

I assume you have already tried Friends of Vintage Gardens in Sebastopol and the Bay Area Heritage Rose Society. I'm in Virginia, but I'll be happy to send you some.

I am so grateful.
Thanks

Do you still get extra suckers from your Belle Sans Flatterie? If so, I'd be willing to pay for a rooted piece or pay for the shipping of a piece. The only place I've seen it for sale recently is the Vintage Roses local sale, but of course they no longer ship and I don't live anywhere close to driving distance to them.

Alas i am no longer sure where that rose is. I am willing to pick up a rose from vintage and ship to you. I have a friend living couple miles from them. As long as your state allows shipping plants from CA. And you reimburse me.

Let me know. Contact Greg at Vintage. He often still has toses left over after sales

I was able to acquire a Louis van Tyll from somebody that ships and I think it's very similar. Just out of curiosity, do you know if Aimable Amie is grown anywhere in the U.S.? It's not even listed under any garden and not listed amongst Vintage's collection. It's another that is very similar. I've seen pictures posted of it on Instagram and Facebook from European gardeners. I assume it's different than Belle Sans Flatterie.

We've been propagating this rose for the last 10 years here in S.W. France and havn't sold one. Today I dumped our entire stock in exasperation!

This sort of thing must be so disappointing for you and other nurseries who make the old roses available John. You are the best sorts of patrons but no-one's pockets are that deep.
Do you still have a Clg La France in your own collection?

No Billy
The garden is principally for our collections + some species and other things we like a lot, we don't have the resources to look after the HT's and if we can't sell La France in France it's time to stop trying. A bit ironic now that the French have voted in the FN, LePen's nationalist party.

So sorry to hear this even so long after the fact. I am looking to acquire from sacramento historical cemetery rose garden. I see roses in france germany italy england but cant order them. Because of agricultural restrictions.
I just love the old roses and i am new to roses.
Hope you are doing better now. So many sources www ent out of business after 2008, around 2010 and 2012 there seems to have been a huge reduction in businesses selling roses.

The number of heritage roses available from nurseries in our area is also a small percentage of what was freely available 20 years ago but we are fortunate to still have nurseries that will custom bud these increasingly rare varieties - providing you can source budwood.
This is another way HMF is so invaluable.
Those members of the HMF community who list the roses growing in their own gardens help to create a picture of how scarce or abundant certain varieties are and a register of potential propagating material.
Could I ask all to consider using this feature to list the roses they grow?
If privacy is a concern, identifying information is not needed - many people use a nickname on HMF and restrict their location to a region, city or country.

Can anyone share their experience pruning this rose? It states prune after blooming. Should that be in fall when cold? Take off canes or cut some of cane? Thanks

This cannot be the same rose as is shown in the other photos for Duchess d' Angouleme. Both flower shape and leaflets are substantially different.
