Possibly, if you are open to making a deal with your local, ahem, alternative businessperson.

Don't. The risk isn't worth it. If you could see how chilli thrips have nearly destroyed rose-growing in Western Australia in the last four years, you would know that it's in all our interests to keep pests out of places they haven't reached yet.

Oh I know there are big reasons for the phyto certs I was joking. We are already dealing with lantern flies and a hoard of other invasive species. No flower is worth the jail and environmental issues.

Honestly, I am glad you did. :) There are plenty of people who may not know why we have import and export laws and regulations. Better a nice an informative comment than a bigger mess. This is why I LOVE this forum and recite so much. I also learned about the thrip situation in Australia from you.

Only Western Australia so far. We hope the mainly-desert along the southern part of the border will keep them from spreading, but presumably they could hitch a ride on vehicles.

I have Comtesse de Noghera and she's way taller than she should be. She's almost 2 meters or seven feet. Her flowers are golden with cream, very beautiful and a strong fragrance is present. She isn't pink or salmon pink so it is correct that the rose in Europe sold as Comtesse de Noghera is in fact Madame Jules Gravereaux. I got mine from Loubert...
Edit: The second flush in much warmer weather gave me light pink to salmon pink flowers. Fragrance is strong Tea with fruity notes

Hi Dianne,
I am looking for cuttings for 2 older hybrid teas I used to have and lost along the way, Century Two and Charlotte Armstrong. I was hoping you still have these roses and if so, if I could please request some cuttings when the time is right? I will of course, cover the shipping costs. Many Thanks, Holly Hagy

Hi! I do still have those roses and am glad to share cuttings. They won't bloom here again until June. If you will contact me again then, I will be glad to send cuttings. I won't remember that long because I get so many requests. Dianne

Hi Diane, if you are still up for sharing those cuttings, I would love to get them. Also, do you have Fair Bianca? I am out of town this weekend but will be back home Monday evening. So, I could be here to receive them in the next week or so… Many thanks and if you are not up for it, I understand. Best, Holly

Hi Holly: yes, next week will be good for sending Century Two and Charlotte Armstrong. I don't grow many Austin roses so no, I don't have Fair Bonica. You can email me your shipping address at dwiley172@gmail.com. Have a great weekend!
Dianne
