I grow this rose in Dallas and it never gets that cold. It is grafted and in the colder regions of the world you do need to protect any hybrid teas if they are exposed to long periods of cold. I LOVE this rose, it is one of my favorite red roses with its strong fragrance and darkly veined petals. It is only offered through one vender that I know of (Vintage) however, I know a man who is interested in grafting some of my scion wood onto a great rootstock this summer. Growing it on its own roots might be ok in climates that cold but I have not tried it. I am sure if Vintage is selling it, it is on its own roots and well worth a try. (Hope that info helps)

I am inquiring about the "Carmen" dark red hybrid tea rose you grow in the Dallas area. In 2003 you said someone was asking about budwood so it could be grafted onto good rootstock. Did that happen??? I am interested in buying this rose if available, or grafting it myself if you would consider sending em budwood. John Moody	REPLY

i suspect it would if you plant the graft below soil level and took some other precautions to protect it. as i get the occassional -20c and mine survive.[frosts that is]. they dont like that cold in my spring though.I lost all my leaves and buds this yr for the first time in october,when we had hot days of the high 37c but nights as low as -21 with black frosts caused by drought.

They carry it, but it is never propagated. The only way to obtain one is to request it as a custom root order from Vintage. It's worth it though, Carmen (Delforge 1956) is stunning! Update 2012 Gregg Lowery says it's almost impossible to get cuttings to root: <5% success rate. Perhaps budding is the only option.	REPLY

Yes, you are correct that Hortico Roses in Canada does carry Carmen, however, it is the Tantau 1986 plant not the 1956. If any one knows where I can get the 1956 please post. You see my name is Carmen and I was born in 1956!	REPLY
