Thanks for posting Radler's reply, Larry.

I've grown every Knock Out he has listed except the Rainbow. And have also grown the Carefree Sunshine as well.

"I'm surprised that some large rose hybridizer hasn't snapped him up."

Well, actually, Conard-Pyle seems to handle the patents on all of Radler's roses so in a way they have snatched him up. I used to be able to get rooted cuttings of the Knock Outs but a couple years ago C-Pyle quit letting "small businesses" like me purchase them, much preferring the mega-stores and garden centers (Home Depot/Lowes, etc). It sure is a disappointment to me and quite a few of my friends/customers.

Again, thanks for posting the follow-up to your William Radler letter.
