Where can I purchase Canadian White Star? I have been trying to find it for several years and it does not seem to be available. Thank you.

This rose needs to be back in commerce. I have this rose and can provide cuttings.

I have been looking for Canadian White Star rose for a number of years and had given up on finding it when your HelpMeFind response appeared in my email. About 2 years ago I received cuttings from the San DIego Botanical Garden. Since I lie in PA. the transit time for the cuttings to arrive was too long and none of them were successful in rooting. I would look forward to trying again if you have cuttings. Please let me know.

I can send you cuttings. I am also part of a group of rose lovers going to the National Rose Conference 2018 in San Diego that will be discussing how to get plants and cuttings of hard to find roses to people that will take care of them and preserve them for future generations. We will be working and coordinating this effort with several rose nurseries that have already signed on like K and M Roses -- and preservation groups like the CCRS Rare Rose Auction that auctions off rare and hard to find roses with online participation of those interested. We just can't lose these wonderful roses forever.

Thanks for your reply. I would love to receive cuttings from you for the Canadian White Star rose. My concern is that this is not the right time of the year to do this in Pennsylvania. Let me know what you think and we can exchange addresses ; I would like to compensate you for your costs of mailing the cuttings. From the info. you supplied in your last response, it appears that you are a true rosarian. I had a close college friend who was very interested in antique roses and also authored several articles about them in a publication that, I believe, was called Rosa Mundi. Eventually a rose was named for him; perhaps you crossed paths; his name was Rev. Douglas Seidel; he passed away about 3 years ago around this time. All of us, his college friends, miss him very much. He was always our authority to turn to for garden questions.
