I know the Lady Diana rose is a very old variety but does anyone know if it is still being grown? What would you recommend as a good sub?

Has anyone seen the Manitou rose in person? Is it really orange or more of a coral color? I'm looking for a coral color rose, a mix between orange and pink, and having trouble finding one since there are so many varieties of coral. Any suggestions?

Spray Roses!
We recently started using the varieties recommended in the South American Spray Rose Sensations article for some of our mass market stores and the difference is incredible! We had almost stopped using Spray's due to a nagging precentage of poor performers at the store level each time we did a promotion. Now, by using only a mix of the varieties highlighted in Sensations article, the results are remarkable. Each time I see them in the stores, every bunch is well hydrated, no bent necks and the colors are sensational. Now I know what a truly fun and long lasting flower Spray Roses can be!
And guess what? Sales are up!

Hot debate in our office today: Rose Nikita - is it yellow? is it peach? is it orange? is it light orange? I say it's peach. Coincidentally perhaps, the flowerfinder also thinks it's peach.
What is light orange, anyway, wouldn't that be the same as peach? hmmmm

Rose turtle - my new favorite! so fragrant and an awesome antique-y creamy yellow. Looks like a garden rose to me. I wonder what makes a garden rose a garden rose? And what's up with that name, turtle!? But you know, 'a rose by any other name'....ha ha

Spring Cleaning !!!!
Does anyone remember the red rose "Preference" ? What about yellow "Timeless" ? Peach "Sonia" ? Or that classic bi-color "Super Disco"?
As much as I loved them all, it was time to do a little spring cleaning. I just removed a couple hundred of these old varieties which are no longer grown in an effort to focus on what's really being grown and sold out there these days and to make room for all the great new pics and varieties growers and breeders are adding each week !
Next job Alstro!

We recieved a sample of the new green rose variety posted recently on the site called " Green Beauty". It looked amazing and has a huge bloom and great color. The only problem is that it was sent with a fairly tight cut stage and never opened.
My theory is that many of these new, heavy petal count varieties need to be sent with an open cut stage to ensure they will open and perform.
Any growers have an opinion on this?

I noticed a new photo of a rose called Cabaret on the site but there is already a photo of another rose variety called Cabaret that looks completely different. Which one is the right picture? Are there 2 Cabarets?

Its amazing to me how the North American Valentines Day market has changed and seems to dominated by a very small number of popular red varieties ( i.e.Freedom, Forever Young ).
Does anyone see this trend happening in other colors?
Best Pinks? Best Whites?
