The rose "hedge" of Eugene de Beauharnais - NOT!
Cass,
I misled myself as well as you when I spoke of my EdB hedge. This morning I was admiring my EdB (the real one this time) and then, suddenly it came out of the mental fog at me - my rose hedge of two budded and two own-root roses is actually Rose de Rescht! Everything I wrote about its colour and all is all about RdR. To make amends for my gaffe, here is a source of own-root EdB: Ashdown. Very reasonably priced too at 13 dollars for a 1 gallon container, though shipping would make it expensive. OTOH, I looked and it does not seem all that bad at 12 dollars for two roses in gallon pots, and only 4 dollars for additional roses, which means it would be really worthwhile to enroll in the Frequent Buyers' Programme g. In a more serious vein, I bet Paul Zimmerman would not sell EdB as an own-root plant if it were not growable as own-root. FWIW. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |
