I'm pretty sure you're right about that Maude. I'm already doing some in the pots too. It's all just an experiment to see what (if) I can get to root. I've always just done the method of sticking several stems in a 5gal pot and putting a 2litre bottle with the bottom cut off or a plastic bag over the pot. I didn't have a lot of luck that way. Right now I have the cuttings in clear plastic cups in a starter medium rather than soil. And I built a pvc pipe frame to go over a big plastic underbed storage container that I put clay pebbles in, adding water to create a moist environment and have heating pads underneath. Then I covered the pvc frame with clear vinyl and I have a fluorescent light fixture hanging over the whole thing, which comes on about 4:00pm and stays on til midnight. So far it seems to be a good set-up. But only time will tell. Like I said, I'm just having fun playing around and experimenting to see what, if anything, works.

Thanks Diane! Actually I looked on helpmefind, not all 17 pages of the mauve of course, but it's very similar to Blue Moon and SUNdel. I went back to the store and asked and she was pretty sure it wasn't Blue Bird, I think I agree, mine has more rounded petals. Shelley

Well, from Eufloria, maybe Ballet or Esperance (let the page load for a few seconds, then roll your cursor over the name of the rose to see the photo). I think Esperance might be it, try the photo here at Equiflor - Rio Roses (select "Esperance" from the pull-down menu). A few more searches find Marrakesh as a possibility.

Perhaps the florist variety Carrousel. It isn't available for home sale. You can try rooting a cutting. There are other whites with pink edges that are available, such as Moonstone, Cajun Moon, Aquarius (older rose, check Vintage Gardens), Gemini (edges range from pink to coral), Isabel Ortiz (another older rose, check Vintage and Rogue Valley Roses).
