I am trying to find two specific climbers to purchase but no one seems to have them. Pierre de Ronsard, and Compassion. Do you know where I could order these?

Both roses are included in the HelpMeFind database. Pierre de Ronsard is more often referred to as Eden in the United States.
If you click on the menu item Roses on the main menu to the left and type in the rose name in the search field, you will be taken to the rose page. You can see a tab at the top of the page labeled Available At. If you click on the tab, you will see a list of nurseries which have informed us that they carry the rose in their current inventory.
Updating nursery inventories in the database is always a work-in-progress, so it is possible we have listed a nursery which no longer carries the rose. However, the vendors listed represent our most current information about suppliers of the rose.

Can someone help me identify a christmas rose? My aunt wants to know where she can get a rose that blooms in the winter. She saw it on TV.

The christmas rose is a very old legend set in Christ's time. It is about a young girl that cries and her tears melt the snow and a flower is exposed. However the flower is not a rose it is called helleborus niger. This is a five petalled white flower that sometimes has a pink flush to it and a green center. The plant grows in mountainous areas and doesn't mind snow. Many gardeners grow it because it pokes through the snow and bloom at Christmas time.

Usually at nurseries it is called a Lenten Rose.

Here is a picture of the helleborus niger. Another group of flowers she may be interested in are cold hardy camellia's that bloom in late autumn. My favorites are "Winter Rose" and "Winters Charm" I have included a picture of them as well.

I am looking for an ivory or cream hybrid tea rose and grandiflora rose of exquisite form and color to use in a bed of peach and orange roses (made up of floribundas, hybrid teas and grandifloras) to carry out my theme in the bed of "Peaches and Cream". Can someone help me? I am fairly familiar with hybrid teas and grandifloras, but am not aware of any ivory or cream roses in this category, except for perhaps "Whisper", which to me is more white than ivory or cream. The color of the floribunda "French Lace" is the best description of the color I am looking for in these two roses (1 hybrid tea and 1 grandiflora). Thank you so much in advance...I really appreciate it.

Bonnie..........
Have you tried the advanced search feature here on HMF? It has been recently updated and the staff at HMF are working hard to put all of the characteristics you might choose for your search into the database.
Tonight, just for fun, I did a search for grandiflora and hybrid-tea, white and white blends. The search resulted in hundreds of roses. Of course, not all of the roses are available in the United States as this is an international site, but there were plenty of roses for you to review. I did not check for anything beyond color and class. A short list is:
Adrainana
Alliance Anastasia
Matterhorn
Crystaline
Mint Julip
Athena
Renaissance
Fresh Cream
Ginger Hill
Monsoon
Pristine
and the listings go on...
As HMF continues to upgrade the database these searches will become far more valuable to you, but at least the site can give you a starting point.
Good luck with your roses.

Hi!
I'm trying to make a mass planting-- kind of a bold statement.
What I'm trying to make is an island planting of 'Iceberg' floribundas alternating with a red floribunda of the same size. Then I would like a red and white grandiflora in the middle.
My problem is----
Is there a really good red floribunda to match 'Iceberg'? And can you give me the name of a good, tall, red and white grandiflora?
Thanks a lot!

I have Leibesauber (not sure on spelling), and it is a gorgeous red, and can get quite tall!! I had several canes that were about 7 ft. or so! I've been thrilled with it, so that might be a thought. Paula

Though a Hybrid Tea, Mr. Lincoln is a good red, fragrant and tall.

Try Europeana (red floribunda) and Cherry Parfait (red and white Grandiflora) Double Delight would work really well too it's a red and white hybrid tea. I planted the same roses in my island planting. It looks great
