Oh My Goodness!!
Following Kirra's link, I went to the Treloar rose site in Aussie-land, and
was totally blown away by the Incredibly eye-poppingly BEAUTIFUL roses
available there! I had made up a "must-have" list with about 12 roses before
I realized that Treloar doesn't ship to America. And I just "finished"
planting my little rose garden here in SoCal two weeks ago!

Heartbreak. And since several of the roses I loved at Treloar were released
a number of years ago, but still don't appear in any of our catalogs in the
USA, I guess they won't be appearing on our shores any time soon, eh?

Someone else on the list mentioned going through Canada for Aussie roses,
but the Pickerings catalog I checked didn't list the ones I had wanted.
Phoey. Well, we can always hope for next year.

I LOVE that burgundy Iceberg! But I MUST get "Home and Garden"!

I picked up my favourite gardening magazine last night and saw an ad for
Burgundy Iceberg. Has anyone got one or seen one in the flesh?

The treloar picture looks more dark red ...

Wow! Those are both beautiful colors. With all the praise I've heard
about
Iceburg, I had been thinking about adding one soon. But I have too many
new
whites this year already. I need (really I NEED) some reds and that would
be
perfect.

It's getting time to start thinking about bare roots in the Southern
Hemisphere and I'm thinking this might have to be included. I love the
floriferousness of my two climbing icebergs. Any comments from anyone?

Comments? Sure, you buy one now so you can tell us how it performs. That
way
we'll know whether to get one when it's available here. g
