You may not know it, but roses are getting hard to find. One of the largest rose producers  in the world, Jackson and Perkins, is gone. We bought thousands of roses from them, as did virtually every other garden centre in North America. We used to have a local rose grower in Abbotsford. He was our source for more interesting varieties (like the beloved Royal Sunset!) . He is gone. So, we are facing a shortage of varieties – probably forever. If it is not on this list we don’t have it and cannot get it . Waaahhh.
