| I was fed up with only 1950's rose offerings this year. Until 2 weeks ago when Farm Supply got in a huge shipment of Week's roses. Still no Austins. Anywhere. Summer Love Good As Gold - a lot of color change Good As Gold at the nursery. Nice aging colors! Apricot Nectar - I prefer the bud stage but fully open is not bad. Love the color and form. Chrysler Imperial - couldn't capture its red. Hasn't won me away from Mr Lincoln. Excel frag. but this bloom had few petals and a lot of flop. Tournament of Roses with the measles Tournament of Roses - a keeper for lasting ability in bouquets and overall health. Lagerfeld - despite a cane soaring out he continues to be a fav. Good form and not too mauve despite it looking quite pink in this pic. Tall grandiflora. Ebb Tide - bush at nursery. Ebb Tide - now I see in person what is being so highly praised. I was impressed. |

| I know what you mean about only finding ancient HTs in the stores. I don't even see Austins in the good nurseries around here like I used to. Your rose photos are great. I love Lagerfeld and Good As Gold best. |

| I think Austin is only selling from their own website..or maybe they have specific nurseries they deal with. |
