Initial post 22 AUG 22 by Cheryl Kirby
Hi everyone. I am desperately trying to find a Tassin (hybrid tea) rose bush for my 89 year old father.. This rose has a significant sentimental value to him and we are urgently trying to find out where I can get one. There is a nursery in WA that has them but I am unable to get them from there due to the distance and shipping. Please , please let me know if you know where I could source one from. Thanking you all.

Try Ross Roses in SA. They have access to all remaining plants at the old Thomas 4 Roses nursery, and will custom graft any of them - if the plant still exists and is large enough to take material from.

'Tassin' is still listed at T4R, but they did lose quote a few plants in the droughts and fires a few years back (just before they retired from business). I don't know if 'Tassin' survived.

Of course, the catch with getting one custom-grafted is that he would have to wait until he was 91 to get his hands on the bush. If he's planning on living to 100, no problem. :)
