I do not think I'm going to buy this rose. Not much excited after seeing real blooms in Regan Nursery, CA. It's just like mini-flora but shallow, color is not deep as picture on advertisement.

Maybe its color gets hues in the autumn?

Overall, Weeks seems to have an honest catalog, but this rose looks nothing like their promotion photo. I had to check the rose code to make sure it was the same rose.

The ones I eventually saw in person, looked like bluebuster's photos.
It was essentially 'Coretta Scott King' in bicolor tones. It was pretty. Maybe a good alternative to 'Love'.

It is pretty. It's just different from the photo pictured in the 2016 Weeks Catalog, which is a fiery red. Their written description is accurate though, "Dark orange overlaid with purple smoke with white reverse".

Odd things happen to rose colors in the hot CA sun. I once saw a row of 'Lady Emma Hamilton' in a CA nursery which had faded to a most unappealing beige.
The name 'Moonstone' appears in the description of this cultivar. What does 'Moonstone' have to do with this rose?

Moonstone is one of the parents. As per the Week's 2016 catalog, the lineage is Moonstone X Paul Gauguin.

I'm glad I didnt buy it, then. Both parents defoliate here... (without spray)

It blooms totally no influerence with moonstone but foliage. Blooms are only look alike in catalogue under special care or nice weather. In garden setting more like floribunda blooms with single stem. Lower petals, most nursery in California available to purchase this rose but i skipped it, I rather bought miss congeniality which is more attractive grandiflora

Miss C looked great at the nurseries this season. Very full, fat, colorful thing. Smokin Hot had hanging blooms. Weak necks, like its probable grandparent, Maestro.
This rose can be seen from a long distance, but the flowers are not really that large. I would recommend this rose to people that love bright color and don't mind the negatives.

I guess from the comments here, that this rose performs different under different conditions. I have a no spray garden in zone 9B with low humidity. This rose only gets watered when we clean the pool. It does great. It has huge blooms and great upright stems with vibrant green leaves.

does anybody know, if this rose is already in commerce or will be soon?

You'll have to ask Rogue Valley Roses, since they now have the only stock of this variety.

Thanks for your answer.
I already asked Rogue Valley a few months ago, don't remember exactly if it was concerning this variety or another purple one. Their answer was that they work with it and try to offer it soon...
Are there now new varieties bred by you added to HMF? Some names sound so new to me...
Anyway, I'd like to buy the repeat blommers in dark purple, dark red an lilac, if they are sold in Europe one day. I hope so...

At last, Rogue Valley Roses has this in stock.

Thank you! I've sent them an e-mail right now, if they deliver to germany too. Perhaps a german nursery orders a lot of roses for clients in germany, There were such actions in the past...

Did you ever get your rose? We will be traveling to Berlin this summer if that makes it possible. I don't know what sorts of rules there are about bringing plant material internationally. If it's feasible I'm happy to help. I don't have this rose yet but it's on my list of things to get and could bring a cutting if laws make that workable.

Thank you Joan,
but I think, it is forbidden, just to take cuttings from the US to Europe. You would need several certificats, and they aren't cheap. That's why nurseries from Europe order bigger numbers of plants....
Perhaps a european nursery will import that variety some day.

Palatine Roses is selling this rose as "Augusta Louise."

Thanks for your advice Jasminerose. You might like to point them in the direction of the Note on the page for 'Augusta Luise'.

Jasminerose, another inland soCal resident here. Been searching for the roses with heat-resistant foliage--IME Elle (Meilland), Ingrid Bergman (as you've said too), and Mother of Pearl are good. Is Augusta Luise one of the heat resistant types?
Thanks, Nate

Hello,
This photo of the rose "Alisha" is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Can you please tell me which is the very source that this rose is from? I would like to purchase this plant from the very same grower if possible.
Thank you for your time and blessings to you...

It's a very good rose. I grow it. You should shoot off an order.

Hello Elisabeth Jayne:
The roses in the photo are not mine. I photographed the bouquet at the Santa Clarita Valley Rose Society's Show. However, the Alisha is in stock at For Love of Roses at https://forloveofroses.com/shop/mini-roses/alisha/ and many of the society members use this vendor.
I encourage you to get the rose. I grow Marriotta, the parent of Alisha and it is a fine rose with similar form.
