Comments (9)Cripes do I ever hate Yahoo mail. After deleting the spam, the porn, the Nigerian scams, the other nonsense, if I left any of the messages that should have gotten thru I'm always happy. Anyhow, I sent a response to the two who wrote and a better e-mail address. I think some of the e-mails didn't go thru for whatever reason. Do you mind re-sending them? This week is pretty hectic but the weekend or next week would work. The sooner the better if you want blooms this spring. I'm happy to give these away even tho I like them a lot. They're just too big for my space. The only one that actually grew to the size I thought it would was Dixieland Linda but I have so many other pink roses that I'll part with it. I can put James Galway there and it's got almost no thorns, so I'm happier with it. Did some more pruning this weekend. If you take Pleasantrie, which is quite nice, I hope you have a big space....See MoreRoses to give away in NYC
Comments (2)Sent a note. BTW - it's not a great idea to cut all roses down every few years. Some are hardy, some far less so. We're in a rather marginal area for things like Noisettes and teas, which can be fragile. If you cut down too much, the plant may not recover. Many rosarians recommend not cutting those at all, but I've found that some can be trimmed with no damage. Some of the hybrid teas too, although most of them really need to be cut or they're not very useful in the garden. The gallicas and some of the other shrub roses, particularly things like the Bucks and Morden roses, can take a good whacking. As to keeping them to the size you want - possible but not really practical in this case. One of them just wants to be 13 feet tall and I'm turning into Paul Bunyan trying to trim it. Way easier to find some that have natural height preferences for this climate! I have about 50 roses of various sizes so if you have any preferences, I can root whatever you'd like and they'll probably be OK to transplant by fall. Only problem is that I pruned them last month so you can't tell what size they'll get, although you'll get an idea. I can give you some tips on growing and planting them when you come by. And YES! There's other stuff to give away too - things just multiply all over the place. I'm sure we can find some columbines, some bleeding heart, some creeping phlox, some sundrops, some baby black currant bushes if you want, some coriopsis, irises, etc....See MoreRoses to give away in NYC
Comments (10)If they are still available, I would be very happy to take one -- either Awakening or Vineyard Song would be wonderful, provided they aren't the ones that need spraying, since I am an organic gardener. Also, I am a novice and this would be only my second rose, so if you prefer them to go to a rose afficionado I understand. I am in Manhattan during the week and could come pick it up, though the rose's home would be upstate. Your offer is extremely kind!...See MoreGive away roses to a lady rose grower who lives in the Bay Area
Comments (7)One time I put an ad for rabbits on Craigslist because we had an unexpected litter. This guy showed up w his wife and daughter and picked up a few baby bunnies. He turned out to be a total perv. He kept calling and texting for like 3mos afterwards and wanting to come over. I didnt answer after the first time he called inappropriately but that didnt stop him from leaving messages and texting. I am never using CL again after that. I had to change my # and I hate that he knows where I live. I cant blame anyone for taking precautions nowdays. You never know....See Moreingrid_vc zone 10 San Diego County
