Hi all,

I'm not new at roses, although my present garden is only a couple of years old. I'd love to trade for cuttings or rooted cuttings...I don't have much to trade at the moment in terms of rooted cuttings (see below), but I can try to root some things for you if you'd like. I also have some non-plant items available for trade. I know it's a little early in the season here in Z5, but I'd like to at least get some trades set up for the warmer months :)

What I have in Trade:

Rose cuttings I'm trying this year (I have about a 50% strike rate):

-John Cabot

-Sidonie

-Austrian Copper

-Jacques Cartier

-Mme de la Roche Lambert

-Desiree Parmentier

-Harison's Yellow

-Cardinal de Richlieu

-Tuscany Superb
