Hello! I am looking for "Rosa Mario Lanza" to plant at the Italian Tenor's ancestral home in Italy.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions to aid me with my search.
The details of the rose are as follows:
Yellow blend Hybrid Tea.
Registration name: HORaardvark
Exhibition name: Mario Lanza
Bred by Colin P. Horner (1933-2005) (United Kingdom, 1999).
Introduced in United Kingdom by Warley Rose Gardens, Ltd. in 2000 as 'Mario Lanza'.
It was last listed in the UK's RHS Plant Finder in 2005 and has not been commercially available since.
I have so far been unable to find a living plant. It would be so amazing to be able to plant this in Italy to commemorate him.
