Cole Porter Wifes Rose
Saw a great movie about Cole Porter the composer and he had a rose bred
for his wife (for putting up with all his crap). Kevin Kline was in it. I would like to find this rose. Is it still around any perform well? Tom Line For Fun And Safety In Firearms Sports visit... -- http://www.bobtuley.com -- |

Spent an evening wandering the internet looking for info and humming the "delovely" tunes of Cole Porter. Remember reading that Ashley Judd, who played the role of Linda, was also trying to locate it for her own rose garden. As I recall (and it's been a while), it was really an obscure rose & better known by another name. I gave up the chase because the only references I found were for specimens in Spain or Italy. Try a Google Search - maybe something new has shown up. Nancy |

Tom Line For Fun And Safety In Firearms Sports visit... -- http://www.bobtuley.com -- The Mrs. Cole Porter rose was released in 1957 by Bobbink & Atkins Nursery in Rutherford, NJ, according to Helpmefind.com. Could not find anything in google about this nursery except history comments. Apparently out of business, but who knows. Read somewhere a couple years ago about this rose and it was noted that it was no longer available anywhere. Try contacting the local rose society in Rutherford, they may have someone who knows more about it for it's historical importance. |
