I am so pleased with my "deal" rose...I got a bare root tree rose, Ingrid
Bergman, AND a bare root tree rose, Eureka, at Costco's for 1/2 the price of
the nurseries....both Jackson/Perkins roses. They are both going crazy and
are beautiful. IB is a beautiful red rose.

My mother has an old rose, "Old Gold"....wow is it a beauty!!! Grandiflora.
I don't think they sell them anymore, but was wondering how you would find
one of it's "new" rose babies?

Way to go! I agree that Ingrid is gorgeous. I need to decide between
her and Chrysler Imperial for the spot where Mr. Lincoln now lives, as
he is on his last canes.

I went to:

http://helpmefind.com/sites/rrr/pl.php?n=16330

and checked for you, but no vendors are listed. What a shame! A 1913
McGredy rose, yellow and red with strong fragrance! Sounds totally
wonderful! I want it too, now.

Anyone with any suggestions for finding one?

Yes, Ingrid is beautiful. As I've said in the past, don't freak out
when your blooms get about half-sized in the heat of July and August.
That's normal.

My transplanted one is starting to throw a few more buds. I'd really
like to see more substance on the canes. I'm guessing that it will
come next season - it's still a bit fragile.
