The "Heidekind" listed on the Hortico website says that it's a Kordes rose from 1985, aka "KORiver". It doesn't sound like the same rose. Anybody have any familiarity with this rose?

Yes, we have the two different Heidekind roses on HMF and it seems likely the photo we have for this Heidekind is the Kordes' rose instead. We've contacted the photo's contributor for confirmation.

www.peonynursery.com has this lovely yellow peony and they ship to the United States. They are based in Lithuania and have some interesting European and Russian varieties.

Does anyone have experience growing Graham Thomas in zone 4? I am right on the edge of zone 4/5 and wonder how big it would get. Could I conceivably grow it as a climber here? How about thoughts on overwintering it? Thanks!

I’ve grown Graham Thomas in Minnesota zone 4 for two seasons now. It is in a fairly shady spot so it hasn’t been as vigorous as it would be in a sunnier location. I wouldn’t consider it a climber, but more of a vigorous shrub. Since mine is still young and it’s not in the best location it hasn’t produced a lot of flowers, but when it does they have been worth the wait. It has been pretty healthy so far with some black spot, but not too bad. It dies back to the snow line in the winter but rebounds well.

Thank you, that's a huge help. I can give it a very sunny spot. Will try it and post later this year after I see how it does.

Thank you! That's a big help. I can put it in a very sunny location so I have hopes we'll be able to make a go of it. Will post an update later this year after it gets established.

Hi - I'm looking at Aunt Honey and you have a merchant listing for hardyroses.com, but that URL doesn't work. hardyroses.net DOES work, however. I think it's the same company.

Thanks for the info. Actually, the hardyroses.net website is also defunct. Instead try heirloomroses.com, which is the same company. There is a menu of hardy roses there, including Aunt Honey.
