Hi! I hope I can be of some help. I'm a professional rosarian and have a large collection of roses. I'd be glad to send a nice variety of cuttings to you with descriptions of each one. It might be good to start with some lovely, really easy to care for roses first. All of my gardening is done organically, and I use no chemicals on any of my roses. In fact, my roses either thrive with neglect or end up on the compost pile.Here's a list of rose cuttings I can send to you which are very easy to care for, but are very beautiful and rare (they all bloom from spring to fall unless noted):
-Rosarie de L'Hay - intense scent, Rugosa, national rose of France

-Salet - Moss rose; highly scented
