Tidbits for those interested, Certified Roses lists this rose as a climber instead of a shrub (same breeder code) and gives a height of 7 feet.

Thanks Cori! Do you know anywhere to buy them own-root?

It’s currently a hard one to find through mail order at all, but I would expect that to change since it’s still new. I bought mine locally at a nursery. Maybe try calling Cetified Roses?

CR says that they are grafted only, but thanks!

If you haven't found one yet, there is an own-root in the Save the Roses! auction being held in Oct. in San Diego. Plants can be shipped anywhere in US.

Lavender-colored roses are best as grafted. I grew lavender/purple roses like Angel Face, Barbara Streisand, and Heirloom as own-root, and these were WIMPY and TINY, shorter than 1 foot, and blooms were really tiny since the bush is so small & weak. But my GRAFTED Angel Face and Heirloom roses were bigger & more vigorous & larger blooms. I bought 2 Lavender Crush for $5 each as GRAFTED-on-Dr.Huey at Walmart's late summer sale .. they are doing great as 2nd-year rose, lots of blooms, and blooms are large & amazing lemon scent. The one in partial has longer-lasting blooms than the one in full-sun but equal amount of blooms.
