this is such a stunning rose. Does anyone have cuttings to share they haven't listed yet? Or know where to get one in the US? we seem to be heavily lacking in the lavender globe rose department. this is in the top 3 chase roses for me based on the photos.

I don't think this rose is extinct. I have it and it looks a heck of a lot more like this 'Blue River' than the other Kordes 'Blue River'. I bought my rose already identified as 'Blue River' and it looks like the images uploaded to HMF. Even down to the white streaks. It didn't seem like the Blue River from the 2000's had white streaks. I will do some research and report my findings.

Some sources say Lady of Shalott is hardy to zone 4. Others say it's only to zone 5. I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried growing it in colder regions.

I'd say that reports of her hardiness are greatly exaggerated. Here in Zone 5b, an average winter will kill back 'Lady of Shalott' almost to the ground. That said, it *will* rally and produce blooms.

yep, i have three, one grafted, one own-root. they took winterkill in a milder winter and were absolutely pummeled in a colder one. as of today i wouldn't recommend it as a cold weather rose. winchester cathedral, st swithun, wollerton old hall, and crown princess margereta are my recommended cold weather austins.
