| Okay! :) Just wanted to say I would also love rose seeds, mainly I am looking for fragrant teas and grandifloras, and color. I'm not as fond of english-style roses or roses where the middle is visible, but if they are an interesting color I'd be happy to add them to my genetic pool. Currently my color wish-list is dark purple, pale lavender/'blue', orange, or any bicolor/streaky/spotty. White only if it is a fragrant hybrid tea or similar shaped flower. Currently I have red and yellow fragrant hybrid teas - don juan and a yellow that is the same except for the color. The yellow had a name but I can't remember it. -_- I also rescued a pink rosebush from a garden about to be demolished, I don't know exactly what it is since I just got it in autumn. It seems to have survived the transplantation though, despite the fact that the tap root broke about a foot below ground (this was probably a 30 year old rose bush). Anyway I don't have any rose seeds at the moment because I'm trying to germinate the ones my roses produced, but I should have plenty next year. I also intend to prune my roses at the end of winter so that might be a source of cuttings. I haven't done cuttings yet, so I don't know how to ship them or whether I should try planting some myself - I wouldn't mind 2 or 3 more bushes of the same rose, although I don't want a ton. (The pink one has nothing to prune so it's only the red and yellow). |
