Now that Palatine has nothing I want this year, I'm watching the other nursery websites. Unfortunately, Rosemania won't be updating its rose list until October or November, and I don't know what happened to S&W Greenhouse. They used to start taking orders on September 1st, but they aren't showing anything for sale this year yet.
I'm supposed to be getting three or four (or five or six) roses from K&M, but I might also place a small order from Regan Nursery. As much as I hate growing plants with stupid names, I think I would really like Yabba Dabba Doo.
I also need a new Betty Boop. I planted mine years ago, before I resorted to using gopher-proof cages, and the predictable thing happened: A gopher ate all the roots and the entire graft. I replanted the remaining stump in a gopher-proof cage, and it grew back, but it has never performed as well as before. I think Regan is offering it grafted, although I'm upset to see that Regan is suddenly offering so many own-root roses, including some of the Austins I want.
