Wow, I really like your seeds! Unfortunately I dont have anything you have listed, I dont have much but you may check my exchange to see if I have anything you are interested in. Here is a link that might be useful: my exchange

Usatc- it seems Hermitian and I cannot agree on much, but what I originally offered was valid. Richters, as well as other herb vendors, offer different varieties that you can add to your rosemary garden and use very nicely in your kitchen - no matter what culinary institute graduates say. If that is your passion, I urge you to try many different kinds. Some plants will have different habits, flavors, and growing condition needs. You will end up finding some that suit you more or less especially since desirable flavors and aromas are very individual and personal. Sadly here in the Frozen North where we have 6 months of the year where we can see freezing temperatures and we see temperatures below 0 F in the winter, rosemary is not one of the items that can be grown year round. Even overwintering indoors is a challenge so I have little personal experience with any varieties other than the most hardy "Arp." Had decent rosemary flavor but I've failed to overwinter it. I know one gardener near to me with the right microclimate to get it to survive in mild winters. But overall it seems I'm just a tad too far north for it. Good luck and enjoy your search! Be sure to come back and tell us your favorite varieties. FataMorgana

Hi Smokemaster This is Ms PeppaJo . Did you get a chance to check out what I needed for next season under heading " looking for seeds/pods"? I am the one that planted super late in the season due to my mothers passing but I have a couple plants trying to do something! No unusual plants or anything . If these Chimayos change before it gets cold I am 5'3" and I will be up to my arse in Chimayo pods!!! That is from basically 2 potted plants!! I have some black Cubans, Christmas bells, Takanotsume, some I haven't identified yet( tiny leaves, 5 point star flower and the pepper is an orange more than red) I have my big fat baseballs ( Alma's) out there and a couple of black pearls but only Heaven knows what I will get before it gets to cold. I have picked a couple Chimayos, Takas, and the I identified ones they are in the fridge now. Any hope for me? Jo

I love species roses! I have numerous CA native species and have seen others elsewhere. R. gymnocarpa at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden near me I've never seen get over 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. Short and bushy. Not a climbing habit. I didn't notice it suckering. I grow R. pinetorum 'Beatrice Howett' from RSABG. It is also a small rose. I haven't had it all that many years in my garden, but it hasn't suckered. However at RSABG it is well-established and suckering happily. It's more a lax grower there and doesn't look big enough to climb a fence unless it was a very short one. RSABG grows selections of R. californica from different parts of the state, and they do indeed have a variety of habits, from short and sparse to bushy to climbing, some even completely thornless. All of them I've seen sucker from moderately to A LOT. The one I grow that is capable of climbing (with support) is R. californica 'First Dawn'. Canes are long and pliable, it has only moderate thorns, and is in the moderately suckering category. It has the best rebloom of any R. californica I have yet seen. RSABG also has R. nutkana. It suckers pretty wildly, and the ones I've seen have gotten maybe 5 feet tall. Then there is R. minutifolia. At RSABG it has been growing for decades and it spreads rather than pops up in entirely new spots like the suckering champions do. I have numerous R. minutifolias in my yard. Two of which I am training to climb up Monterey Cypress 'Citriodora'. I decided to have fun and experiment since I like this rose so much, give it a challenge. It seems to be working with one of the plants already reaching around 6 feet up. Minutifolia tends to be an arching grower (but some plants are very shrubby), building big mounds that kind of spread like a fungus.;) R. minutifolia can become unhappy and die in areas with too much rainfall. RSABG also has R. spithamea. It is kind of short and bushy there (2 to 2 1/2 feet), but that plant hasn't been growing on the grounds very long so I don't know if it will end up getting much taller. I wonder though because they planted it right in front of a big educational sign and I would think they wouldn't if it was going to get huge. I haven't noticed it suckering, but it is probably too soon to say.
