Hi bellegallica: If you are interested in a trade, I have Radio Times and Eglantyne (both own-root) that I'll trade for your Pretty Jessica. I got newly bred roses from Robert Neil, which he bare-rooted and sent in a half-page padded envelope for $2 postage from CA to my Chicagoland.
I was in The Dollar Store and saw they sold all padded envelopes (letter-size to larger sizes) for only $1 each, cheaper than Post Office. The mailing cost for padded size envelope under 13 ounces is $3.60 from CA to here. A pack of Oreos-cookies is 13 ounces, quite heavy... so trading roses by bare-rooting them would cost less than $5 across the country.

Was it an own-root plant? Or a budded one?

Strawberryhill, I've already potted her up. I love her flowers and scent, so having two will give me even more blooms. I will be happy, though, to root some cuttings for you when they're a bit bigger. If you don't want to wait, Rogue Valley may still have her in stock.

Jeri, it is own-root, so I know it's PJ coming back. Just have to be more vigilant about watering. She's in an area that gets really dry, and I often get really lazy.

Hi Bellegallica: I'm glad that Pretty Jessica does well for you. I have been holding off in ordering her, since there are reports that she doesn't bloom much. I can get her from LongAgoRoses in NC (great service and low prices), along with Kim Rupert's Porcelain Rose. Please let me know if your water is alkaline. My water's pH is 8, and I'm a bit concerned that Pretty Jessica doesn't like that. She's low-thorn, which is a plus.
