QuestionI just purchased some new shrub roses called "All the Rage" from a local nursery. I can't find a thing on the Internet about them. Is that unusual?
AnswerIt's easy to find all kinds of things on the internet about Roses if you know where to look, Jeanine.
I'm not familiar with 'All The Rage'. But I can tell you it's a new introduction from Bailey Nurseries, a grower in St Paul, Minnesota that sells 'Easy Elegance Roses':

I could go on. But you'll get a kick out of this link, known to all Rose lovers who dish out advice on the internet. It's called Helpmefind.com and it replaced another website, Findmyroses.com, which is closed. Here's the link:

And here's your All the Rage Rose, a Shrub Rose with apricot flowers hardy in USDA Zones 4 thru 9:

FYI, Rose hybrids are 'registered' with a coded name. All the Rage is registered as BAIrage. That's a 'BAI' for Baileys, and a 'rage' for All the Rage.
Happy Hunting!
