Thanks, zuzu! I was unfamiliar with Regan, Rosemania, and Garden Valley, so I will certainly be taking a hard look at those sites. I'm looking for a few fragrant lavenders, at least one tall one, like a hybrid tea or grandiflora, and some shrubs or floribundas, and am thinking grafted plants would be best for those.

I did break my no new Rose vow a little prematurely, when I couldn't resist these that were just marked "Kordes Roses" from Home Depot for $6.88 each. I had read about many Kordes Roses that I have wanted for years, but these 2 noids are my first.

I have seen a couple of coral Kordes Roses on various sites that could match the one, but the pink is hard to tell, as it starts out deep pink, and matures to mauve. They were installed in mid summer, and both had nice repeat bloom. The foliage remained healthy without spraying.
