Melissa, I will try to get back to you soon via e-mail,but right now is a very difficult moment for me-WAY too much to do. It seems like everything happens all at once at this time of year. My roses are peaking out at my land, and I struggle to get out there as much as possible, but all these other things are coming up, too-a visit to the dentist that I've had to put off too long, my DS's birthday,a film event I want to see,a friend that I haven't seen in years coming to Italy...

So it will have to wait a bit. However, I want to be precise-I am interested in propagating ceanothus-NOT roses, lol!

It IS a busy time, isn't it? You should see our grass! And you have a lot of non-gardening activities.

About plants you want to propagate, didn't rosemary come up, too, or am I inventing that? Anyway, when you find time, we can talk about it. High summer isn't good for propagating, but then there will be fall.

O, yes,I forgot-creeping rosemary was one I'd like to learn how to reproduce! Actually, IME, fall seems to be better for starting things-well, roses, at least....
