I had not done any trading for several years but have enjoyed it this year, with the exception of having people email me for a trade or for plants for postage, then I reply and never hear from them again. It's frustrating and a total waste of time. I have not had anyone default on a set up trade and don't send plants for postage without getting the postage first. I think the Rate and Review Forum has the potential to be wonderful, but many others like me may not know about it and I would hate for anyone not to trade with me because of a lack of feedback. I'm actually an awesome trader. :)

I finaly looked up the ZD rose, It sounds much like the Peggy Martin except the color looks a little deeper and it may not have the multi-flora bunches of blooms. i can't wait to get one. i've found that the Peggy Martin roots best if layered in the ground in the fall. I don't cut them loose from the mother plant until spring and I wait a few weeks before potting up the baby plants. they tend to go into shock when moved but usually recover nicely in a couple of weeks. Once they are established - look out! They grow like crazy! Here is a link that might be useful: garden tips
