A few months ago, several retail nurseries indicated they would indeed
have 'Color Magic' rose this season. Today, I discovered that no one
has it. I even tried http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/index.php, but
all the cited sources for 'Color Magic' indicate "Not in Stock" either
on their Web pages or via phone calls.

Is this like climbing 'Chrysler Imperial', a variety no longer grown
commercially? Are there any hobbyists out there who can root a cutting
of 'Color Magic' or climbing 'Chrysler Imperial' for me?

Thanks. I just now ordered 'Color Magic' from them.

But I'm still looking for climbing 'Chrysler Imperial'. This is no
longer available from any commercial grower. If anyone has this in
their garden, I would appreciate a rooted cutting.
