Question
Last week I visited a friend in Tulsa, Oklahoma and took a detailed tour of the Tulsa Rose Garden.  I found one rose in particular that I fell in love with and would like to order one of the plants for my friend in Tulsa.  I think the growing zone there is 6b.  The name of the rose was either "Rio Mambo" or Rio Samba".  Are you familiar with this rose?  And if so, might you know where I could order a plant for my friend in Tulsa?  I've searched and searched the internet looking for this rose but have had no luck.

Thanks, and hope you can help,  David Whittacre

Answer
Rio Samba is a good rose and can be mail ordered from these nurseries.

There are other rose museries that carry it but I only recommend those that I know are very good and that you will have no problems with in regards to service, quality and mailing. Lynnette
