Do you know the botanical name of your October Rose? Can you post a pic? I have one I got under that name, but I'm not sure which species it is. How do you root it?

Webcat Either the red or the burgundy. I've got pink ones, one is a very pale pink with a white eye, the other is pink with a red eye. I've got so many seeds of the pink with the white eye that I finally started dead heading them, so no seed pods would develop. I snatched a few seed pods of a burgundy one last year or the year before, but it has not flowered yet. I've also got seeds of Texas star hibiscus, that is really growing slowly this year. I wonder do they peter out after a few years? I started white texas star last winter sowing season, wintered them over in a holding bed and one is setting a flower now, but it looks very spindly. I'm hoping to get seeds from it before the season is over. The reds that you have shown are just to drool for, LOL. They are absolutely georgous!! So if you have some seeds for either red, please keep me in mind. Alberta

dormant as in "not growing" but does it keep it's leaves? or by "die back" do you mean dropping leaves? I just don't want to stare at a bare plant for months on end. I don't care if it goes dormant, as long as it holds it leaves. Lori

I have many of these shrubs and can give you lots of large cuttings which root very, very, easily. I'm in NW Hillsborough...I think you've been to the swaps that use to be at my house?? I haven't been active on the site here in years, just now getting back to it. Lori
