    Martin Guillot is not on your list, the best rose in my yard that set hips (lots of it). Let me know if you're interested and I will root one for you. I don't need any trade because I don't have any room, in fact I'm giving away some of my roses.

    hi pinoy, ok, what i found was that she is a shrub rose, gorgeous long pink buds, fragrant and pretty easy to grow. how tall and wide does she get, and what do the hips look like? is she once or repeat bloomer?

    do you have room for cooking herbs? i have some rooted mint, oregano, sage and rosemary that i could trade for cuttings. you could send cuttings when she's thru blooming. i often start rose cuttings in late spring and early summer in sand and shade down here in the sub tropics.
    thanks

    Hello,

    I see you have a couple of climbers on your hips wanted list.

    I don't have any of these, but I do have Cherokee rose, and she sets hips very very well.

    Let me know what you think.

    Hi Jeanine, Martine Guillot is creamy white (off-white), not a shade of pink at all. I always think it is the best flower for a wedding bouquet because of its color and shape. Very fragrant, it gets tall and wide though. Since I did not prune it this year I think it's about 7'5" and 5-6' wide. I'm waiting for its flush to be done, then I'm going to give it a good haircut. Hip color- dark brown. I root anytime of the year.

    Hope I didn't upset anyone. I don't seem to have been getting my email messages. Not sure whether anything went out either. I am checking to fix this. Sorry.

    Pinoy, my appologies!!
    I emailed that I would love some of your Martine Guillot! Cuttings or rooted piece. Sounds just wonderful. I could send some rooted herbs, if you have room for them. Right now, have mint assortment, oregano, rosemary and sage rooted and ready. Email me at jrmankins@gmail.com. I think that will work. Thanks

    Monique, also my appologies!
    I would love some of the Cherokee Rose. Do you have a trade in mind? Email me at jrmankins@gmail.com. Thanks

    Jeanne, Don Juan, cl. sets a lot of large hips for me if you are interested in a climber. I'd prefer to wait until Sept to sent cuttings, tho. I also have a small pink mini (a real beauty) that is setting hips like crazy. I would be interested in Louis Phillipe and do you have fennel seed? Don't think plants would stand the shipping due to the heat. The butterfly lavae have demolished my fennel. I am supposing that you have the edible sage. I would send postage for fennel and sage seed.
