Thank you, Kristine! I sent David that information. Hopefully he has the ability to at least obtain cuttings from them. He reported, " The hope for the Bernstein Rose is to see if it has black spot resistance gene 1 (Rdr1). We've been using Dr. Debener's primers for Rdr1 and some of Kordes roses from the early 2000's seem to have it and seem to trace back to this Tantau rose. " It's exciting the research is getting this specific!

I know Diane grows it, and it's one of her favorite roses.

Thanks, Susan, which Diane? David just responded to your news, Kristine, thanking you and he'll reach out to Heirloom to see if they may have something he can buy from them.

It is Diane in Boise, Kim.

Thank you, Sheila!
