We will be happy to order the real hardy roses for you so you can pick them up. Please contact Joan Gotlibson (MRS vice president and plant sale chair), she will be more than happy to assist you in this regard. Best wishes! Sari Hou Member of Maine Rose Society

10/22/04 Hello Dale, Rosa Rugosa is quite common from mail order sources. This past spring, I got a bundle of 5 Rosa Rugosa from the Knox-Lincoln County Conservation District tree/shrub sale for $5.00. They bloomed for me this year! I am sending the order form and information to you so you can contact them if you wish. I do not know if they will ship the roses to you, but it is worth a try. I am not sure that I will personally be ordering from the sale this year, but if we do order, and if they will not ship them to you, I will pick you up some and ship them to you. They are dormant bareroot plants. If you are in our area, we would love to have you come to our rose and plant sale this coming May at the Barron Center in Westbrook, Maine. If I can assist you further, please let me know. Sincerely, Joan Gotlibson Member of Maine Rose Society
