Re: [Rose-list] The End or Beginning

I'm  here!  Okay, I'll stir the pot, so to speak...

Anyone have experience rooting rose cuttings?  How long does it typically 
take?  I'd like to take part in some rose cutting swaps this summer.  Do 
you have a favorite method?  How long should I figure on, and how big 
should cuttings be?

Also, what roses are on your wish list this season?  I'd like Country 
Dancer (or a relative, there are so many in the series) for the HT look 
and the hardiness, plus I've heard so many glowing reviews of it.  I'd 
like a 7 sisters climbing rose for sentimental reasons (I'm part of a 
group of 7 high school friends who have stayed in touch over the years 
and take vacations together & such, and would love to give one to each of 
us to plant in her garden--though it's not technically happy north of 
zone 5).  The Fairy is a must.  I'd love some Mordens, too.  I'd also 
like to propogate my Therese Bugnet for other parts of the yard because 
she's such an amazing rose.  Another goal is to fill in the rose gardens 
with more perennials and annuals.  Any suggestions?  I have irises in 
there and some scattered campanula, but it's awfully bare.

Alicia, zone 4
