I thought I reviewed this rose.

I had it for a very long time, and only parted with it to make room for breeding stock. It's a great rose.

If anyone out there is thinking about getting Robusta, don't. Just get Linda Campbell. LC has 80% or so less prickles, has neat fuzzy stems, and is not a blackspot magnet like Robusta. LC is also a cuttable rose, and the plant architecture is more rounded and even. Robusta, on the other hand, is a fountain of demonic thorns, with blooms at the tips.

Great photo, Celeste! This was, even by his own admission, Ralph Moore's Masterpiece! Thank you!
Kim Rupert (in 'Linda Campbell' Photo comments)

I was so interested to read of these comments and had a search of the <I>Australian Rose Annual</i>s for mention of 'Linda Campbell'. There was nothing. However, this is understandable as the rose was introduced in the U.S. in 1991 and age crept up on Ralph Moore's Australian distributor, Roy and Heather Rumsey, who closed down their nursery in September, 1993. It seems that we may have missed out on Ralph Moore's masterpiece.
What a shame.
Patricia

I read a report that own root Linda Campbell and Topaz Jewel are crown hardy with snow cover in Zone 3.

I just checked my two year old, own root Topaz Jewel in zone 3 near Edmonton, Alberta. It is alive to the snowline. My sister had Linda Campbell and gave up on it. It might be OK in a protected spot.

Hardy in zone 4/5 Alaska. No thorns and lots of beautiful red clusters.
