Need help finding the rose Butterscotch.

18 years ago

The DH and I were browsing the photo gallery yesterday looking for a new and unusual rose when we came across the climbing rose Butterscotch. Thanks to Beth in California that posted the picture. We fell in love with the color.

After hours of searching the net to find it I can not locate a place that sells it.

I did find out that there was a rose introduced in 1942 named Butterscotch and that the climber was introduced in 1986 by Warner. I could not locate a photo of the rose from 1942 to see if they were similar in color. I would prefer to have a bush but, figure it will be easier to find a rose from 1986 than one from 1942.

Does anyone here know of any rose dealers that carry the rose Butterscotch?

Thanks

Andrea

    Thanks Kasie I bookmarked that site. They will only ship 2 or more roses so I guess I need to find another one I like.

    Hoovb, Thanks for the links. I checked on them here's an update on those links - Sequoia Nursery is closed as of April 30, 2008. Vintage Gardens is out of stock, but I can order a custom rooting for $45 plus some other fees. I may do that if I can't locate it anywhere else and Russian River doesn't ship.

    Any other links please let me know.

    Thanks Again

    Hoov, that's not the same rose. I just recently got that one also. I have to say.... it's a real beauty too!! But the climber is my all-time favorite rose.

    Andrea, don't hesitate to order from Lorene at Moore's roses. Her roses are some of the best own-roots I've ever gotten. MY BUTTERSCOTCH CL is grafted, and it's a very old plant. But I bet it does wonderfully on its own roots. Vintage Gardens also carries it, but I don't know whether it's available now. Lorene's rose will be much better established and a bigger plant than their bands.

    Yes, it's the 1942 version, not the same as the 1986 climber. You might just want to wait until Vintage offers it instead of going the custom-root route, there's a thread on antique rose forum with comments on vintage custom root that would be worth reading

    Moore's Roses is a great place to order roses from. This spring I ordered Abracadabra and Elina from them. They're both doing well and are big for own root plants.

    Timberohio, I have it and started a few cuttings last week. Hope to start more but my bush is still rather young. It was a gift from a friend who knew I was looking for one. I had an original the year it was introduced but lost it after a few years. Had been looking for one and he remembered me. It's well named. The bloom can have the color of butterscotch pudding. I want a dish of it everytime I look at the flower.
    E-mail me directly for more information.

    Beth, How tall is your Climber? Does it get out of control or is it pretty manageable.

    I can order the Climber from Moore's and keep looking for the 1942 bush. No one said I could only have one or the other. I think I just need to get both. :)

    Karl I sent you an e-mail.

    Thanks everyone for your help and advice.

    Butterscotch is out of stock at Moore's...

    I tried to order Abracadabra, Las Vegas and Wife of Bath and they are all out of stock as well...

    Hi all! I'm bumping this because I am currently on the same hunt. Searching high and low for both Butterscotch and Honey Dijon. If anyone knows where it's in stock and available to ship to Washington State, I would much appreciate the tip! Thanks :)

    Its been out of stock at RvR for awhile. I think Grace Rose Farm had it grafted but is out of stock now. It may not be available anywhere else. I am also looking for it.

    It's so frustrating! I've been on every waiting list I can find for what feels like ages now and it just never seems to come available in the US. If I do find it I'll be sure to post here.

  • 7 years ago

    Thanks. Good luck, I hope you find it. Its a pretty rose. I'm also looking for Ash Wednesday sold by RVR. I think it would look nice with Butterscotch climber.

    Do you have Distant Drums? I know it isnt what you wanted but it has those antique taupe-ish coffee colors that fade to lavender.

    Burlington had it recently. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if Burling has sold out of it by now -- it is getting late in the rose ordering season.

    @sultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish) -- Sultry -- just checking in to see how big your Butterscotch has gotten, and to see if you have any photos to share of the bush? I'm trying to decide whether to plant mine in a whiskey barrel or in the ground. I got mine in a band over the summer, and it's been in a 3 gallon pot -- so will be planting it next week when I prune my roses (yes, for those of you in the Midwest, I'm in mild coastal CA, so I do the pruning and moving in January!).

    Deborah, that photo above, is of Distant Drums not Butterscotch CL. I don't have Butterscotch now. I hope to find it at some point once I settle in after our move. I would love to see yours though.

    Mine is still a stick -- so maybe this summer I'll have something to share!

    I ordered the climber 'Butterscotch' from Peter Schneider at Freedom Roses recently.. It will be shipped to me in Fall 2022. I grew it many years ago when it was introduced by Jackson & Perkins. It's a real beauty!

  • 4 years ago

    Woohoo! the things we do for the roses we really really want, eh? I just got my Augusta Luise from Peter at Freedom in November. Had to wait a year and a half for it. It's a very small plant, but had a very good/dense rootball, so I'm excited. Now that I've grown my band-size Butterscotch (since June) into a 3-gallon pot, I have to figure out where to plant it...
