I had one, and lost it, because my Solenoid went out on my drip irrigation system in the back yard. So I sent them an email and asked if I could get one, or if they were not carrying it any more. They said they do plan to restock it this spring, but had sold out, that is why they don't have it on the website right now. I looked at that other site, can't remember which one zulu recommended, but they say you have to order three roses, and I thought there prices were a bit much for a rooted cutting compared to Heirlooms. So I'm going to wait til heirloom puts it out this spring.

Wonderful fragrance, probably the most beautiful, fruity fragrance I've ever smelled on a rose. Very, very fruity flavored...like a candy whose name eludes me right now. Had wonderful repeat bloom. It did stay small and bush like a shrub rose. Mine was about 2 feet tall by 2 feet in diameter when it died. Not sure how much bigger it would have gotten if the Solenoid hadn't gone out. I must have another, maybe two, replace the one I've lost. Maybe I should do three in a cluster somewhere... the fragrance of those three would be divine, like a bowl of fresh raspberries sprinkled with sugary, topped with cream.
