Actually I'm the same way!! Much better luck in fall. I did get some to root in play sand in the summer, but fall rooting are so much easier...for me. If you have a misting system set-up it helps with rooting in summer. A friend has one and with some roses, she said roots, in as little as 14 days with certain varieties. The only advice I could give would be play sand in clear solo cups so you can see the roots when they root. None of the gallicas above,which are my oldest, have suckered far enough away from the "crown" for me to venture on trying to dig one up...they are all young. 3 years if I remember right,so I can do cuttings. I'm still relatively new and still collecting :)

Cuttings sound fine- I think a mister kit is about $35 at Lowes, maybe I'll invest..... and try to talk my husband into helping me build a set up:) I'm relatively new myself- started 6 or 7 years ago, then ended up moving to Georgia which threw things off a bit:) Brought some with me, lost a few sadly, and am just now settled in enough to start collecting again! I'll message you with roses of yours that I'm interested in shortly. And if any I send don't take this Spring, I'm happy to send some more your way in the Fall!

I dug up a Dr.heuy sucker like a few inches from the crown I babbled it for two months it's now about two feet tall and doing great in a pot

I don't have any roses to trade. Is there anything else you're looking for? Right now I have violet wood sorrel, mixed gladiola bulbs, red spider lily, & yellow jonquil.

Is the Souviner rooted? I have a Well rooted Louis Phillipe I can trade. Rooted last spring and has a terrific root ball. (I planted the other one! Lol). Do you have any cuttings of the shrub rose Blush Noisette? I am just dying for that rose!

I am in south ga and they can hitch a ride with my daughters friend that are at UGA

Hi Elle I have some of the roses you are looking for. When would be a good time to do a cutting? I haven't had much luck rooting roses. I only have one rose that rooted (Marjorie Fair, 3 out of 4 rooted in days!). I can send you the cuttings of Mrs. BR Cant, Devoniensis and Madame Hardy. I also have a very small plant of Madame Plantier. I have one in the ground and can part with this one. Would it be safe to wrap it in damp newspaper and mail to you?

Oh, I just saw you are close to me! Maybe once my plants get going (my Devoniensis was just planted and my 2 Mrs. BR Cant's were planted last year, you can come and take the cuttings yourself and pick up the Mdme Plantier. If not, we can meet halfway. Where exactly do you live? I'm in Buford. Do you belong to a rose society? We meet in Lawrenceville the second Tuesday of each month. We area ll rose nuts and many of our members do cuttings and are into OGRs (not just HTs!).

I certainly understand!! If you decide to get rid of a Souvenir de la malmaison for postage, let me know!

elle, I have many of the roses you listed, but one I've always wanted is Kronprincessin Viktoria. Between my rose addiction and major construction that happened in my yard last year, I still have over 50 roses in pots that need to get into the ground. I hope to have most of them done by the end of this year. WHEW! I'll let you know when I have enough growth to take cuttings.

Would you do SLDM cuttings for postage?

Hi Galgal- I can do the sdlm for postage, message me on my page:)

Hi! I'm just getting started with roses. My house came with a monster old Louise Philippe that didn't survive transplant and I'm ready to try again. I'm looking for a climber that produces hips. Do you have any like that?

Does anyone still have cutting of Marjorie Fair that they would like to trade?

Does everyone here use hmf for trading?

I do, but I think a lot of people use the cuttings for offer section of the gardenweb.

I've never had a trade, but am fairly new to that site.
