[Rose-list] New Roses

**j*@uswest.net**

I have searched out the nurseries in my area,(Salt Lake City) and I have yet to
find a David Austin rose, or any facsimile thereof. Could anyone please direct
me to a reputable Mail order company that has this type of rose?  Everything I
see is a more "common" variety and I would truly like to find the old fashioned
roses.  I am reluctant to order, I prefer to see what I am getting. I  realize
that I am new to the rosarian society, but I would like to take a chance on
raising wonderful varieties.
