Hi!

It makes me feel like an antique too because I think I remember some of the roses
that were available in the 1950's.  There was a retired USFS employee who grew
the most fabulous roses, mostly HT's, which had a great scent and I wish I could
find them again.

I remember a couple of miniature roses from only about 20 years ago that do not
seem to be available anywhere anymore.  I think the roses from that time period
were taller than those of today.  I have some that I have grown in my yard for
about ten years that are quite tall, 18", and they may have grown taller because
they were well established so I wonder if anyone knows the real story on them?  I
just got  "Secrets of the Miniature Rose" by Elizabeth Abler and I expect that I
will find some of the answers there when I have more time to read more than a
page or so at a time.
