Does anyone have or know of a source for any of these roses?
They are all derived from native North American species crossed with Floribundas, etc. Some are advanced generations (interbred F1 X F1, or backcrosses). Lou passed away, this past winter. So, I didn’t get a chance to meet him. His wife doesn’t know where I might find his roses.
Here are the native crosses from HelpMeFind:
