Hi George,
I'm looking at ordering your 1st mini, Rubies n Pearls through Hortico. The info says good for zone 4, and I'm in zone 4b, so should be hardy enough. Wish they had it available at http://www.theheatherfarm.com/roses.htm, as they offer minis for $6.25. I bought my first minis from them this Spring, and although they were small in 3 1/2" pots, some are 4ft high. Hortico is asking $14.99. Some of the ones I got are for zone 5/6, but I have them near the basement so hope I can pull them through the winter. What other minis did you have (good for zone 4)? I am partial to something at least 2ft and a larger flower as well.

Lovely color. I have purchased a "Harry Wheatcroft" in Vic. Australia. It seems to look more like this beauty. Not one stripe to be found on first years blooms! Is this a sport of "Harry Wheatcroft" on your site? Of course I am aware that my rose could more likely be mistagged but I was just wondering. If you could enlighten me on all "Picadilly" sports?

Hello anonymous.

Your's must be mislabeled ! I will enlighten you about all "Picadilly" sports at a later time, as I am just too busy to look them up.

Thank you Cass for your compliment !
This photo is courtesy of my son Michael who is also the webmaster for my site.

Hi Calif Sue,
Thank you for your compliments.
This rose is not yet available in the US. I am trying to get it to Ashdown Roses in S. Carolina this spring so they can propagate it. They now have the other sport 'George's Pride' and the 'Dr. Michael Noble' mini.
Select Roses in Langley B.C., 30 miles east of Vancouver, may have the first plants available this summer.
I have a few new smaller own root plants at home and may be able to have two for you if I am at home when you visit the Sunshine Coast. I may not be home for some time in the summer. (commitment to my wife Ingrid I made almost 7 years ago who is very ill)
Regards George Mander
PLease send me an e-mail at georgemander@telus.net.
