Fil Roses (Belgium) lists a deep pink/maroon very fragrant 2010 HT rose which they name
"Johan Wolfgang von Goethe". This name comes up blank at present on your site. Can
you research this rose and get it listed on your site?

Do you have a rose name that I can type in the 'Search/Lookup' option?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Rose Add an "n" to the end of Johan, whether it's correct or not.

I wonder did you mean "please fix it".

Fil Roses ships to USA. Their website has an English option. I obtained Prince Jardinier from them last year.

Thank you, Michael. It's quite easy for Filroses, or any other nursery, to update their inventory on HelpMeFind. In fact, it's far more effective than posting availability on the Q & A Forum because then their nursery will be listed on the BUY FROM tab for every rose in their inventory. Of course, if they become a sponsoring nursery, their listing would have a higher vendor priority along with other benefits.
To update their nursery inventory all they have to do is go to their nursery page by clicking NURSERIES on the navigation bar to the left; enter the nursery name in the search field; click on PLANTS FOR SALE; and click on UPDATE PLANT LIST or UPLOAD LIST OF PLANTS. The HELP button near the top right of the pop-up gives very clear instructions on how to use this feature on the HMF site.
Any nursery that does not already have a NURSERY page can add their nursery and enter their inventory.
Smiles,
Lyn

Can anyone comment one way or the other on Botanica's claim that Anna Pavlova has "spindly growth" and therefor should be kept in an out-of-the-way part of the garden? Thanks. Mike, Michigan

'Anna Pavlova' has a strongly erect growth habit. I grow it with tall miniatures to help disguise the bare legs. It's a beautiful rose and makes a good cut flower. The fragrance is incredible. Repeat could be better. It can get a touch of mildew when conditions are favorable for the disease but usually clean here for me. Mine is budded, likely to 'Dr Huey'.

Robert: Thanks for the helpful comment about your AP plant. Your saying that to have AP one has to live the bare legs or cover them with something. If you (or anyone) happen(s) to have a photo of the whole plant, that would be helpful also. Though you don't list it, I'm guessing that the same holds true for its sport, Sir Frederick Ashton.

Michael, In my opinion Anna Pavlova seems best suited for use in a cutting garden or in a mixed border where one could disguise the lower portion of the plant. I can't imagine 'Sir Frederick Ashton' is any different but then color sports do sometimes affect growth habit. I just pruned Anna pretty hard or I might try to get a photo. I know Mr. Beales advises going easy with the secateurs but my plant is several years old now and seems to handle this treatment well on occasion. Robert, Rancho Mirage, CA

In LA, Ca. my Sir Fredrick Ashton is 8' and repeats rapidly, no disease. Blooms singly off side branches but mainly in candelabra clusters on top of its huge tall canes. When I tried to bring down Giant Fred's size he just worked his way back up. The lower legs are bare but the canes look stately and I have one of those sprawling forsythia-like Austins (Evelyn) next to it, so the extra space is appreciated. The petal texture is flimsy and the flowers flop quickly, but a huge flower cluster can be cut while in rather tight bud and will still open quite well. Frangrance is strong Sweet Afton/sweet pea.
