Does any place sell this rose in the United States?

Never have seen it here. Why?

It looks beautiful in the photos, I was hoping to find a nursery that carries it in the US to buy one, but I can't find it anywhere.

Peter Schneider, at Freedom Gardens, grows a number of Tantau roses, though I don't know if this is among them. He may be able to custom-propagate it for you, perhaps?

Thank you, I checked with him and he doesn't offer Pastella but I was able to order another beautiful Tantau rose (Mariatheresia) from him.

Will Mr. Schneider ship your rose, or do you need to travel to Ohio to pick it up?
REPLY
Reply #9 of 9 posted 7 JAN by WillametteRose
He ships roses (in my area I received them in November) but it can be a long wait for a custom propagation order.

There's an Italian company that ships bareroot roses to the US which has it. The website is en.roses.it. You have to email them to set up the shipment, but I know someone who has ordered from them and said they were very accommodating and easy to work with.

Thanks so much!

Nope! That company “tried” to ship to the US, but Customs has shut them down now. 6 shipments got confiscated in Cincinnati last week. (Ask me how I know, lol!)

Hi, does anyone have experience growing this as a climber in shade? I’ve got a spot that gets 4-6 hours of AM sun per day. Thank you!

Mine gets about 5 hours of morning sun (being near the northeast corner of my house), and is perfectly content. Rebloom will be better if you deadhead, but it sets such nice hips that I'm conflicted...

i grow james galway in the twin cities (z4/5) and i would say there is ample anecdotal evidence posted online that it is hardier than zone 6b, including on the david austin website which rates it to zone 4.

What is your opinion of JG? Do you recommend it for cold climate gardens? Can it tolerate heavy soil?
REPLY
Reply #2 of 4 posted 9 FEB 24 by jmattson
it's hard for me to say as i've only had it one year. the first year it was vigorous and flowered all season, throwing canes up to about two feet. it's near a waterspout and did get some blackspot during a period of heavy rain. i'll report back as it grows in the next several years. anecdotally, there are many posts online attesting that it does well in z5, and some nice pics of bigger plants.

I can attest that it handles Zone 5b winters well enough that it is a true climber here -- unlike many of the other Austin "climbers" that will only get big enough to be shrubs in this climate. Our soil is fairly heavy clay-loam, and James seems to manage that just fine.

a great rose after this season. flowered many times, no blackspot, grew to about 4 feet. if it remains winter hardy i can recommend it for cold zones.

Good morning!
If I cannot find Evelyn, what should I try next? Zone 6a Coastal Massachusetts. This is for a prominent location in my yard. I am on a corner lot, and these will go on the corner where people walk by and drive by daily. Montauk daisies in the background bloom late August. Spring tulip bulbs bloom at the (hopefully ) soon to be planted roses. I am on several wait list for Evelyn. I was hoping to get huge bare roots this spring from Grace Farm Roses. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Colleen

Northland Rosarium has 'Polka'. It is a bit more apricot than 'Evelyn' and does not have quite the ethereal beauty of the latter, but also I think is healthier and, as I recall, has better foliage. It makes a spectacular shrub and would be a good choice for a corner location. Northland has kept their prices below $25., and their roses are selling out quickly. I have always received healthy and strong rose bushes from Northland.

You have a point Nastarana, as for the health of both roses. You mean Polka as in MEItosier, I suppose.
One should consider the brutal prickles of Polka, when placing it in a corner location. (see my photo's of the prickles on HMF)
When ColleeninMhd is set on a real climber and an Austin, maybe consider Abraham Darby too.

Not looking for a climber. But Abraham Darby is always on my list.

I don't mean to hijack the discussion (indeed, I would love to find a good supplier for 'Evelyn' too), but unfortunately I can't say I had a good experience ordering from Northland Rosarium. Indeed, of the forty-one roses I've ordered from fourteen different sources, the four weakest roses I ever received were the four I got from Northland Rosarium. None has died -- yet -- but they were definitely of poorer quality. Perhaps I just had a uniquely bad experience...

A new company called Garden Roses LLC is offering 'Evelyn', listed as AUSaucer for something like $20.99. They have quite a list of non and off patent Austin roses, not alas, the ones I want. 'Windrush', anyone? 'Charmain'?

I just looked up Garden Roses LLC and it is an exciting new nursery offering band-sized plants at reasonable pricing. The credentials of the founder/owner are outstanding, he is a rising star in the rose world and shows much promise as a hybridizer, as well as a purveyor of selected current rose offerings, including many Austins. I'm sure I will be ordering for spring 2024 from this nursery. I'm also going to contact the nursery directly to suggest uploading their plant list to HMF.

So, you believe this is a reputable company and one can confidently order from them? IDK about photos, also IDC, but someone has done their homework with regard to patents. 'Bathsheba', for example, is a recent introduction patented in some countries but not in the USA. I hope they will in future add 'Windrush' to their lineup.

I haven't ordered yet, but I intend to, so will assess once the plants arrive. I have a good frame of reference for band size roses from ordering many in the past, notably from High Country Roses. Regarding Austin patents, the site (Garden Roses LLC) has a downloadable Austin list with categories of patents, it's quite interesting!

Oh. I listen to Nate Fisher the owner of Garden Roses on Rosechat! I also put in an order for several of these particular roses a few month ago. I didn’t know they would be bands. But the price is very reasonable. I also love that he is close by in Pennsylvania therefore the shipping will not be horrible for the plants. Now, to find the right spots to plant my dream roses. If Nate is reading this, well done!

Edit: I asked for refund on all GRLLC. All my orders are canceled.

Colleen: You have a beautiful house !! I grow 160 own root fragrant roses for the past 30+ years and OWN ROOTS are better in CONTINOUS blooming for a corner lot than grafted-on-Dr.Huey. My 12th-year own root Evelyn bloomed in early May in my zone 5, versus roses grafted on Dr.Huey don't bloom until later. My Evelyn is a short shrub with fast repeat, Prairieville Prince (big and thorny bush, myrrh scent), Summer Sun (gaudy color that's seen far away), Wise Portia, Royal Jubilee (can smell its fabulous scent 5 feet away), Lady of Shalott and Kordes roses like Bliss Parfuma. Ping-Lim roses sold at Lowe's are continuous bloomers. All Ping-Lim roses are impressive at zone 5 rose parks such as My girl, Calypso, and Kashmir.
