2-3 years back I made arrangements to trade with a few people here and I failed to come through. Through a combination of events (deer damage & horid weather) and my over confident inexperience, I promised plants that I simply couldn't deliver on. If any of my victims are still here, I apologize and I want to belatedly try to make it right. Unfortunately I lost my old email so I can't look up our messages.

If you can tell me what you sent me and what I was supposed to send to you, I will recognize you. Let me know what I can do to make it right for you as best as possible given that I can't go back in time.

I have gotten much better at propagating and have many rooted cuttings I can send. I've learned to never EVER plant sunflower again as it draws deer with reckless abandon.

Please also see the following link for a list of my roses I can take cuttings from. If you like, I will root them for you first. Given the heat, it is probably better to wait anyhow.

I currently have thriving rooted cuttings of:

Westerland

Awakening

Carefree Beauty

Daddy's Girls

Tamora

Golden Unicorn

Ambridge Rose

Abraham Darby

Jude The Obscure

If anyone else is interested in trading with me, I am interested in cuttings from non-patented plants that are hardy and have better than average disease resistance.

From my list, the following are not growing very well this year for some reason and I may not be able to get cuttings:

Iceberg

Easy Going

My Kim
