Gorgeous, Helen. Please tell us more about Stranger. I'm making a note to check Stranger out. Diane

@Diane Brakefield Thanks Diane.

Stranger florist/hybrid tea rose bred by Olij Rozen B.V. (Netherlands) and introduced in Netherlands (2000). The 3.5-inch purple blend, white streaks, stripes, flecks blooms have no fragrance. This rose has good health and blooms all the time in my garden. I love its unique striped colors. Helen

Thanks, Helen. I'm still intrigued, but leery of former florist roses grown in an Idaho garden. I'm not surprised Stranger does well in your garden, though. Ah, California. Diane

What an unusual and very beautiful rose!! The colors are sensational!! My goodness!! :)

Wow. I want this! Where did you get her at, Helen?

Burlington carries it. Lisa

Thanks, Lisa!

Your pics of Stranger are so gorgeous @bayarea_girl_z10a_ca! Thank you so much for sharing them. This rose takes the top spot on my wish list. Is there a waiting list I can get on?

@damask_rose_zone9b and @MasLovesRoses_z8a GA Just email Burling (her email is on her website http://burlingtonroses.com/ ) and she will let you know whether she has it in stock or she can ship it to you at a later date. Her rose price and shipping cost are excellent. Helen

Thank you @bayarea_girl_z10a_ca! I emailed her a few months back and she said she should have some available in the spring. I'm worried that they might sell out before I can get one. : )

Burling is really nice to work wirb

She responded to my email super fast and was really nice. I hope to order from her soon. I can't wait till spring!!!
