I did some surfing on it last year and found some info. Think I got started from the Northern Gardener mag from Minn Hort Society. Seems that but for a few folks including family many would have been lost. The link to the Kedem Nursery is great. Very few Buck's have shown up in local nurseries in southcentral Wis. I want to give a few a try and the list of Rugosas is nice too. Thanks for your feed & blog, John Thanks for reminding me of Dr. Buck’s roses. I did some surfing on it last year and found some info.

Glad I could help you. That’s exactly why I started this website, John, to help people find what they need to grow in a cold climate. Glad I could help you.

The Buck Rose I always wanted was "Disant Drums". I selected all my Roses for scent and height, but now my my taste in colors has changed. They are being brutalized by rose slugs. I have an article I cut out on Buck Roses from 5 years ago if you are interested. Did you look at Pickering and Hortico?

It has 9 pages of hardy roses grown in Utah. What I like especially is their system of rating rebloom and fragrance at the end of each detailed description (not to mention zone) That way, you can glance at the end to see if you're interested. I haven't actually ordered anything yet, but it sure looks good. The address is www.highcountryroses.com Have you checked out the High Country Roses website?

He was trying to breed roses for disease resistance and attractive plant habit, as well as cold hardiness. He always said he thought modern hybrid rose plants (stems and leaves, not flowers) were very ugly, and he'd like to change that. Another piece of wisdom from him was that all roses are marketable as long as they are red :-) Dr. Buck was one of my professors at Iowa State many long years ago.
