Me too! HMF lists 19 nurseries which they say carry it, 6 of which are in the US, but I have found that that does not mean much anymore.

Unfortunately, the nursery listings on HMF depend upon the NURSERIES to update and maintain and VERY FEW of them see the value. There are two choices...the nurseries can keep the listing current, OR YOU can volunteer with the site to provide that free service to the nurseries and the site so others may benefit. Your choice.

I was surprised to read this, Jeri. Based on your posts about the rose on this forum, I ordered Bishop Darlington last winter from Antique Rose Emporium during their Buy Five/Free Shipping sale. So, I haven't had it long but it is quite healthy, growing very well, and has lovely blooms. I just checked their web site - it is no longer listed. I did see it still listed on a few other nurseries' sites, but all show it as out of stock.

Thanks, Jeri. I hope mine does as well for me as it has for you all!

What?!! But BD is such a great rose! It’s one of those “morning light emanating from silken petals” kinds of roses. I remember when the Hybrid Musks were solidly available across the US, and garden books and magazines trumpeted their virtues. BD is healthy, ethereal, and an easy keeper and should be a constant in the rose industry! Carol

Well, I'm going to try propagating it, FWIW.

And you are SO right about the "morning light emanating from silken petals" description. That is EXACTLY what it does!
