~~~~~~~~
Full (Tuesday and Wednesday package) registrants will receive Andy Vanable's rose 'Little Rhody' when they arrive, subject to availability. Andy's roses, mainly having multiflora background, are well known for their extreme disease resistance and vigorous growth. This and 'Craig Dorschel' are the seedlings that Andy chose for the Convention before his untimely death. They are being registered in 2024. While Andy's seedlings tend to be easy to propagate, The Craig Dorschel Rose is proving more difficult to root, severely limiting its distribution for the Convention. It is an open pollinated seedling of the lovely Dacia's Dream from Clive Nickerson, chosen by Andy to grow on. The pictures do not show the roses adequately, we hope to get better ones through High Country later this season. Andy's roses are all sold through High Country Roses
