Before announcing that Nor'East Miniature Roses in California is introducing the 'Ingrid' rose in 2006 I wanted to make sure that my stock plants and other propagating material had been sent to Nor'East.

I am working on a special gallery for just the 'Ingrid' rose with about 20 images. This gallery will also incorporate my story : "Introducing Ingrid" published in the Nov. 2005 issue of ROSES-CANADA.
Here an ‘Excerpt’ from that story by permission of "ROSES CANADA"

INTRODUCING ‘INGRID’ by George Mander
Imagine you are looking at ‘Glowing Amber’ – my miniature rose with tiny petals that are yellow at the base and blend into hot red as they reach upward. Now imagine magnifying it a notch to a mini-flora or patio size. I now have such a rose. From the time it germinated in 2000, I have called it my big ‘Glowing Amber’. But I registered it this June with IRAR, and now I call it ‘Ingrid’ after my wife.
‘Ingrid’ came from a cross of ‘Hot Tamale’ with ‘Rubies ’n’ Pearls’. I am sure it inherited its bi-colour from ‘Rubies ’n’ Pearls’ just as ‘Glowing Amber’ did. ......................
