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!
