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?

I, too, was curious about the Linda Porter rose after seeing the film.
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.
