Crepuscule and Peggy Martin

11 years ago

I have 5 rooted cuttings of Crepuscule and 5 of Peggy Martin that should be ready to ship in about 2-3 weeks, if anyone would like to trade. -Kristy

    Awesome, these are my fairies I rooted last year and potted up in March. They are well rooted and I'll be sending them with some soil. I'm going to trade them this year for other well rooted roses. I got a few last year that I couldn't keep alive, they were too new. Is the 'crepuscle's' well rooted? If not could you keep it a little while longer for me?

    Shoot, I don't have anything I could trade yet. I'm in the process of trying to root some rose cuttings right now. I could pay postage and a little extra though. I would love to have either of those roses, Crepuscule especially. I also have many African violet leaves listed on my tradelist, if you enjoy cloning rare violets from leaf. ^-^

    I would want to keep them for a bit to make sure they are growing well before I mail them, vaflowernut. I have tried to mail too soon in the past and not had great luck, but I am learning. littlebackbat-just postage will do, I have never had much luck with African violets;)

    Thanks Kristy, I love the color of the crepuscule. Just let me know when she is ready, Yay :)

    If postage will do I'd love to have them. I am just starting some cuttings but they won't be ready to trade for several months.

    Hi Kristy! I sure would love one of each if you can spare, I have nothing to trade but will send you nice sweet surprise and of course pay for postage, plus ??

    I have trouble reaching people thru this forum, the following thing doesn't seem to allow me to email them. My email is lucythegoat@yahoo.com

    What a sweetheart you are!

    I would be glad to send out these cuttings for postage or trade. You can email me at kristyhillrn@myway.com. We can relay information on the Paypal account from this email. I will be using my husbands Paypal account when it is time to ship. If you are rooting some and would like more time to allow for your rooting I will gladly wait until you are ready. It will be a few weeks before they are ready to ship, I think. Let me know which ones you prefer. I love to root roses, and often find it astonishing that not EVERYONE loves to grow them(crazy, right?), and usually end up with more than I can plant. Just trying to share the love. Also, If you have un-rooted cuttings of a particular rose that you are crazy about, and would like to mail me un-rooted cuttings, I am willing to give it a whirl.

    They look great Kristy, very healthy. I'm going to try to start climbing blaze soon. If you're interested in growing it just let me know, I can root it or I can send you some cuttings when we trade.

    Kristy, I was looking at the first picture you posted and would love to know what kind of set up you have there to root your cuttings. Is that sand or something else and do you cover it? I've got to come up with a better way to do mine, I lose half of them trying to transplant from the ground into pots. Thanks.

    I just use builder's sand, under a mister set on a timer to go off for 10 minutes every 2 hours. I do use rooting hormone on the ends of the cuttings after scoring them a little. In my hot temps, over 100 today, it doesn't take but 2-3 weeks to see roots. Here is a picture of the propagation table my husband built for me. I use a patio mister from Lowes.

    The black plastic bin is also from Lowes. I think it is made to mix concrete in.

    The top of the propagation bench has an arbor over it and it gets only filtered sunlight.

  • 11 years ago

    Hi Kristy, I was wondering if you had any more available. I sent you a message. Thank you! Lisa


  • 11 years ago

    He did an awesome job with that, love it. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to tinker with a few things and try to get something better to work for me. I've just been rooting in the ground, it works but I lose half of them when I pot them up.

    I love your propagating bench! I've recently started trying to propogate roses from cuttings because I noticed a beautiful bush blooming in my community garden and had to have it. I immediately came to this forum and now have 3 potted cuttings with new leaves sprouting on them. I'm addicted... I too wonder why not everyone is running around taking cuttings and rooting roses, lol. To be honest, I've not been interested in roses until recently and the fragrance is more important to me then the color or shape. The rose I took cuttings from is a very subtle cream/very light peach color but the fragrance is divine.

    Hey guys, these babies are ready to ship now, I will go to the post office to pick up the flat rate boxes tomorrow to see what the smallest box that will hold them will be and the shipping price.


  • 11 years ago

    Hi Kristy, I'd love to have 1 of both if the peggy martin is available. I have 'the fairy' to trade, is there anything on my lists you would be interested in? Please check my plant and bulb idea books, I also have astilbe 'ostrich plume' , pulmonaria 'dora bielfeld' , tradescantia 'sweet kate'. please let me know, thanks.

  • 10 years ago
