Your photos are great, Margie!

It's been years since I saw Brass Band in any of my local nurseries. HMF lists lots of places that say they carry it, but they aren't really carrying it, or at least it isn't among the roses they're currently offering for sale.

Rogue Valley Roses said they had it a year or two ago, and lots of people ordered it, but I don't think any were actually sent out. Rogue Valley sells own-root roses, and I think Brass Band is one of the ones that's truly difficult to grow that way. I rooted a cutting for Sue last year and it took forever to grow roots.

It's a shame that it seems to have been lost to commerce. A lot of people like it, and companies would have no trouble selling it.
