I am unable to find these roses anywhere. Please help. Why have they disappeared off the radar. Are they available anywhere. Thanks, Drue Fergison

Expert Response

Thank you for your response. However, these roses are NOT available from Malmborg's - I just called them. It actually appears that these roses are no longer available anywhere, and I was hoping that you could clarify that for me. Thank you, Drue Fergison

I am sorry , they aren't available. Extension volunteers like myself have no contact with the U unless we go for a class or event. We have no contact with the retail side. I can ask if they have been renamed.
No worries. Thanks for replying back. No need to check - I have called everywhere. It is no longer possible to get these.

I checked into it and the U rose breeding program has ended. The breeder is looking for a company to buy the patents and reintroduce them. 
Sorry to confirm what you know or suspect.
Oh, I do hope they can be re-introduced. Thanks for checking on this and letting me know!

Me too. Earth kind roses are something to check out. They are beautiful, disease resistant, and fully hardy.
thanks!
