WANTED: Rosa sericea pteracantha seed or cuttings

17 years ago

If you are growing the wingthorn rose and it happens to have some ripe hips hanging on it, I am looking to grow it. If you have rooted or callused cuttings that would be great too.

I've been busy dividing and transplanting dozens of things for the Spring Green Elephant in Redmond, WA. But I need to update my exchange page.

I have this rose but have heard from a professional gardener in the area that it is difficult to propagate from cuttings. I bought mine from Collectors Nursery in Battleground, WA in August 2005. It was a 4" pot for $6. It's a vigorous grower and didn't take long to get established!
