I think that your big problem with propagating is when you start selling the plants you're propagating. To my understanding, you can propagate anything you want for your own uses.

So, these are all roses, yes? I wonder where Alan is....

I've never done cuttings to propagate. If I could, I'd be willing to exchange Angel Face, Peace and a couple more not on your list (I'd have to search out their tags) for St. Patrick, Cecile Bruner or DBKO. We can e-mail back and forth if you're interested.

Tomatofreak, I've not done propagation either but I want some new plants... Where do you live at?

OK, once upon a time, I thought we could e-mail each other from this site. NO? Anyhow, Mike, e-mail me at almahw@Q.com

The only one on your list that has an old plant patent is Cecile Brunner but you don't specify which variety you have. There are 3-4 versions and only 1-2 old enough for the patent to be 14-28 years old. Anything less than 14 yrs old is still under the USDA plant patent prohibiting asexual propagation. I believe the issue is sale of the plant but not amateur grafting since many folks practice grafting and we offer an occasional class on it at rose society meetings.

Morose! Wow, long time!!!

So, I contacted Alan and he is quite willing to give you any cuttings you could want from his plants. LMK if you are interested and I'll forward you his e-mail address. He lives in Chandler, BTW.

Hey, pagancat! I'm still around but try to limit my time INside to be OUTside, lol. Love reading about the diverse plants we're all growing in the desert. Took out one rose garden for a veggie garden and reducing another rose garden to put in herbs. Trees and roses are NOT friendly companions and the trees love the water and fertilizers so moved some roses into new beds and just using shallow rooted plants in the lush, rich rose soil with the big, fat tree roots. Finally got my rose collection down from about 300 to a much more manageable 125-150.

OMG, you're amazing. I will be lucky to manage that many plants, period, never mind 100+ roses.

I understand what you mean about the computer being a huge time drain. I'm trying to limit myself to evenings only, but still get stuck when I go to find a piece of information, and end up on a forum.... like, uh... right now!
