Searching for old (by age) roses
 
Does anyone here have or know anyone who has roses that are at least 100 years old available/for sale? I am looking for either the actual mature bush/plant itself, division cuttings or own/self root cuttings. I'm not particular about species,etc. and will cover shipping and so forth.

Thanks!

Talk to the local Master Gardener or talk to a old Graveyard facility.
Many good people take cuttings and propagate roses that are at least
that old. Some are local found and some are imported by wagon / train.

Normally there is a Grave Yard registry on a website by state / county -
Google will help.

Sure - just not hard and back all the way.

If you need to take a cane back - do so.
Just don't cut off all the leaves because
it has to put energy into the roots for
growth and flowers.
