Do-Si-Do (1984): Medium pink shrub. the medium-sized, ovoid-pointed buds of ruby red (RHSCC 60B) open to double, open, cupped, 4-5 in blooms of lavender rose (RHSCC 64C) which age lighter. The blooms are borne in clusters of 3-10 and have a sweet fragrance. The abundant, leathery, glossy foliage is olive green. the erect, bushy, 3-4.5 ft plant is vigorous, blooming June to killing frost. The plants are winter-hardy in Iowa without protection.
Personal Experience: Reiman Garden's Buck Rose Collection has two plants of Do-Si-Do, one from the early 90s and one from 2009. Neither are vigorous, the taller plant being ~18" tall and wide, but both reliably bloom every year. This plant is difficult to find in commerce.

Thank you for this information. Are these photos all from Reiman Gardens? Are all the Buck roses on the website of the Iowa State University now planted there, or only those with your photos?

Yes, all of these photos are from the Buck Rose Collection at Reiman Gardens.
We are missing a few roses still, but have most of them.
We are missing 'Allamand-Ho', 'Almost Heaven', 'Andante', 'Cantabile', 'Dawn's Kiss', 'El Catala', 'Freckle Face', 'Kissin Cousin', 'Pippa's Song', 'Pizzicato', 'Polka Time', 'Prairie Clogger', 'Prairie Heritage', 'Red Sparkler', and 'Summer Melody'. A handful of these we are just waiting on our supplier to grow out, but most are entirely missing and not in production.

Thank you! We have a listing for Reiman Gardens. Would you like to manage the listing and add the roses which are there?

Absolutely - I didn't even think to look for an RG profile. Thanks!
