Thanks, Zuzu. We need to get the word out.
Burling is pretty careful about what she sells as own root plants, too. She is a true expert at budding, so if a rose was in demand and needed to be budded, it would be a no brainer for her. She as backed off from budding plants because she didn't want to give nursery space to growing root stocks.
If you are in doubt, call her. She really doesn't mind that kind of question.
Burling was the primary propagator for Ralph Moore for more than a decade when he could no longer spend as much time out in the nursery as he used to when he was younger. He closed Sequoia when he was 100 years old. In his latter years, he needed someone with Burling's skills and, of course, he mentored her, too.
Smiles,
Lyn
