Rose Listing Omission
Ruth Gray's Mini
This is a miniature rose I purchased from Vintage several years ago. It was then described as a 'found rose' but all the information on it has now disappeared from their website, so I can't really add anything else.
It's a medium pink and grows about 18" tall in the 8" pot I have it in.

I've checked the Vintage catalogues for 2000 (the mini was not listed) and 2006 where it was listed.
I've added the rose and a few references. Am not sure of the name - Gray or Grey - so added both. It would be great to see any photos of the rose eventually.

There are enough "archive" retail nurseries listed here at HelpMeFind to make the search for somewhere to buy certain roses frustrating: you locate the listing for the rose, see that the tab for "Buy From" is active, and select it to find out where to buy the rose, only to find that all the so-called sources are now out of business.
I know resources are limited, but it would be helpful if these no longer extant sources could be moved into a new category for archive/closed/reference only nurseries (with an additional tab (?)) to make the quest for actual sources less frustrating.

This nursery is closing in a few days.

A great loss for the heritage rose world, and for rose-breeders who see the value in going back to early parents. Let's hope the Foundation can keep their collection going.

Does anyone know why this rose isn't classed as a Micro-Miniature?
