I'm giving this one another chance. I just ordered a plant from High Country Roses. I'm hoping to have better luck with an own-root Golden Opportunity. I'll post photos when I get it into the ground!

Dead, dead, dead. Only a few weak canes last year, and NOTHING this year. We'll see whether Dr. Huey gives us a house call this year.
Happy to hear that High Country Roses has it on its own roots. Should I try again?

I have access to a much better-quality camera now, so I'll try to get some decent photos of Stardance. Our weather was just awful a couple of months ago when the first flush should have been at its peak - alternating drought and deluge - so most of my roses simply balled and rotted. But Stardance is starting its second flush right now.

This seems to be quite a rare rose at this point.
It would be nice to have it spread around a bit so it isn't lost.

Hi, Robert - I will try to save some cuttings of Stardance for you next spring when I prune it, if you'd like to try it. It's old enough now that propagating it from cuttings should be legal.
Please don't reply asking for cuttings if you aren't Robert! Go to the "cuttings" tab instead.

Sounds great.
I still do some work with bracteata derivatives.
Hopefully I can return the favor.
Thanks, Robert

Robert, are you still there? Could you please PM me?
I originally bought Stardance from the much missed Behnke Nurseries in Beltsville, MD. I thought it was cute, and the damask scent was a plus. As far as I know, I may be the only person growing this Ben Williams gem.
My plant of "Stardance" suffered from a lot of dieback the past couple springs - so much so that there weren't really any cuttings worth saving. It's looking nice this spring, though. My garden is much shadier than before, due to the vigorous growth of our lovely willow oak (Quercus phellos).
Fellow rosarians: I'm thinking that my "Stardance" plant should be in the hands of someone who can give the best of care, and perhaps root cuttings of it. It's a pretty, sturdy, sweet-smelling little thing that really should be back in commerce.
I know how to pack and mail plants. Robert has first dibs.
