Summer Memories is a great rose! Huge and vigorous and constantly in bloom. You'll love it, Cindi.
I've also been watching the Palatine site with despair. They don't have Susan Schneider, which I mistakenly overlooked in last year's order, and they don't have any of the hybrid teas I had hoped to buy as replacements for my struggling own-root roses. They always used to carry Las Vegas and Monika, for example, but they haven't offered them for a couple of years now.
Sherry Parks Sunrise was one of the roses I ordered last year but was too late. It was sold out in the first few minutes of the new season. They need to grow these roses in the field for at least two years before selling them, so they'll probably carry it next year.
They're still working on the site, but unless they add some exciting new roses, this will be an anomalous year with no Palatine order for me. I will be getting four or five roses from K&M and I'll check the local nurseries for something exciting, but I'll miss getting my Palatine order.
