- Wayside Gardens has the hybrid tea rose Whisky Mac in its 1993 rose
- catalog (sorry I don't have the address handy) for $9.95. If you like
- it, you might also like Just Joey, which is similar but often a bit
- pinker (depends on the weather).
-
- You might phone Jackson & Perkins too, as they often have roses that
- aren't in their current catalog. I compared 1992 with 1993 and found
- many varieties in one but not the other, although it is still possible
- to order 1992 roses. Maybe it's a way to test the market to see what
- the demand is from year to year. If they get a lot of orders, they
- may put a rose back in the catalog the next year.
