Gerd, Mr. Tunningley doesn't frequent this forum. I might be able to answer your question. So far none of these hybrids are in commerce.

You posted your inquiry under hybridizer. Which one of Mr. Tunningley's roses are you interested in? Thank you, Robert

Hi Robert, thank you for your answer, well, I was looking for the one called "lilac charme x grex pearl".... I know it's written "breeding stock only"!
Anyway, it seams to be impossible to obtain american roses in Switzerland, and I would be so happy to obtain also some roses created by Ralph Moore and Paul Barden, any idea? The Sequoia Nursery and The Uncommon Roses do not sent to Switzerland. What about yours? Congraulation for your great work!!
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Best wishes from Switzerland
Gerd

Gerd, there are no plans to commercialize "LCGP04" at this time. A.C. Tunningley does some very interesting work. There is only one specimen left now in existence here in my garden and it only for breeding purposes. It is beautiful and only lacks strong fragrance.

I wish I had a suggestion for you regarding getting some of the varieties you seek in Europe. Perhaps in time one of your nurseries will seek to import these for distribution?

Thanks for your interest and kind words. With time and persistence all things are possible.

Best Wishes from Southern California's warm low desert. Robert
