Question
I would like to grow Violet Carsons but I don't know where to find them. I've been trying to google them repeatedly but I can only find nurseries in Australia. I'm in Colorado. Help?

Answer
In my rose data bases there are only nurseries in Australia that carry this rose, none in North America. The breeder, Sam McGredy, lives in Australia and that may be one of the reasons it is only carried there. Another reason is that every year over 200 roses are introduced and this rose was bred in 1964 and roses don't stay on the market for long as new ones are always coming along. Many good roses fall by the wayside because they are pushed out by the newer introductions.
