These have been growing very well at the Rudolf van der Goot Rose garden. It's one of the roses I don't need to spray with fungicide, and it stays nearly perfect and with no defoliation all season. And once it starts blooming, it doesn't pause. It's a great rose for easy color, and its color isn't often seen in such healthy roses. Highly recommended for the Mid-Atlantic area in the United States. :-)
I think the flower size at 4.75" may be overstated. The plants I've seen at the South Coast Botanical Gardens in Palos Verdes, Ca. have flowers of approximately 3"
i wish to purchase a lady elsie may rose, i am in the uk, is there anyway i can get one, whilst looking it seems they are only for sale in america. thanks
One supplier ships to the UK, but international shipping is always a risk. There may be a minimum number of roses in an order and other limitations.

LADY ELSIE MAY is on sale at OSH for $9.99 as a small bush in a 1-gal container. It is blooming and has a rather 'flowing' growth pattern similar to BETTY PRIOR. I'm here in Silicon Valley, CALIF.
