Re: Looking for Sources on Native/Wild Roses

Title: Re: [GWL] Looking for Sources on Native/Wild Roses
You need to talk with Mike Shoup of Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham, TX.  His email is: r*@industryinet.com   He can also put you in touch with people with the Texas Rose Rustlers, originally a group of little old ladies in tennis shoes who rescued wild and old roses from cemetaries, abandoned homesteads and the back roads of Texas.  Many of what they found are now propagated by Shoup and sold through the Antique Rose Emporium.  One, Mutablis, is the favorite of First Lady Laura Bush.  BTW, she is and was an avid gardener and a proponent of native and wild roses in the landscape, as is Lady Bird Johnson.
