'Osiria' rose Reviews & Comments

Palatine roses discontinued this rose because it was too popular. They were afraid that its poor plant quality and vigor and lack of disease resistance would turn off novices from growing roses. But what about us veterans that want to give it a try? Now it is no longer available in the USA.

There is also that photohopped pic of it circulating like everywhere. I bet Palatine was getting tired of handling complaints that the rose doesn't look in the actual garden as it does in that widely circulated picture. I mean, people buy those "rainbow colored rose seeds" on Ebay....so many people with good intentions are really misinformed and naïve with roses. I really don't understand why, either. On that note I heard a horror story of a novice grower who kept picking off the new growth on her spring plant. WHY? Because it was red and not green. Shaking my head.........

And this is why I'm still sad. I've been looking for this plant for 3 years now here in the US. No luck. :(
And the search continues....

Did you see, Buggy, that Roses Unlimited in South Carolina lists it?? The plant would be own root and not budded and if that nursery lists it that may or may not mean they actually have it on stock at this moment---they may need to propagate it. But that is some hope! Hit they "buy from" tab, find R U and hit their link to get to their website. I think you have to email or call for rose availability but they carry great (albeit own root) product. Hope this is good news!

I received one from Roses Unlimited this spring. It’s proved to be a very decent garden rose, quality blooms, generous, well formed , good repeat. Held decent size and petal count in hot summer. I guess no one told it that it was supposed to be difficult and weak! Very pleasantly surprised, From a 1 gallon plant, it has probably bloomed more in 4 months than Snowfire did in 2 years, plus it’s not crazy with thorns. (And I liked Snowfire, just wished it bloomed more).
