Wisconsin Roses currently has it on their "small quantities" list, i.e. roses that are not in the regular catalog but of which they have small quantities available for sale.

I am totally amazed at the vigor this Pride of England red hybrid tea rose displays as a bush alone and in it's flowering. I started it as a budded maiden in Spring 2007 and it has literally taken over it's spot in the garden. The bush has an excellent bushy yet upright growth habit that allows it to bloom immensely and freely. I counted 28 single blooms on this bush during it's third flush of the year. It produces masses of roses that last two weeks on the bush and then drops petals rather cleanly. It cycles very quickly and I have another whole round of blooming about 4 weeks later. The bush needs plenty of room to spread to accomodate it's heavy foliage growth. Visitors to the garden are drawn to this rose for it's sheer imposing appearance covered with flowers. The foliage is a beautiful dark green that are a perfect foil to the medium cherry red blooms that are of very nice size and have a light fresh fragrance I find very attractive. I think this should be more widely grown for a garden rose as you won't find any better of a red rose for your garden. It can also produce exhibition quality blossoms that have excellent size, pinpoint centers, and long stems as well. Try this one, you will definiteley like it in your rose garden. UPDATE 2009--This rose continues to be an exceptional garden rose. It is constantly loaded in blooms of good form and size and a fresh fragrance. The bush is extremely winter hardy and grows vigorously reaching about 5 1/2' tall quickly and then starts blooming it's head off in the Spring. This rose is way under-recognized by rosarians. It should be more popular and grown more widely. This is a great one for sure.

I have Pride of England own root rose plant that I planted in 12 -15 inch container I thought it would take awile to get started. Now it is starting to out grow the pot and I'm affraid it will out grow the pot before the weather cools because I live in Key West, Florida. How cool does it have to be before I can safely put it in a bigger pot (24 in.). How will fare if I repot with the temptures in the middle 80?

As long as the root ball isn't disturbed, you may transplant a rose from one container to another, or from a container into the ground any time of the year. It's only when you damage the integrity of the root ball that you experience problems. Even if you do loosen some roots, putting the container in less than full sun and reflected and radiated heat, and keeping it well watered until it shows new growth will increase your chances of success greatly.

Pride of England is easily one of the largest HT/GR rose plants I have ever grown. The plant is on scale with Lynn Anderson, Selfridges, Lloyd Center Supreme, Solitaire or Touch of Class. I would put it somewhere that has a lot of vertical room so that you can enjoy it fully.
