[Rose-list] Re: Gallica suckers/starts

**"* <r*@transport.com>**

Instead of propagating from cuttings from this rose, I wanted to send
her some suckers with a bit of root on them already. Just wasn't sure
when to dig (divide) it. 

I think it's been early fall and early spring when I've gotten rooted
peices [for lack of a better word] from other folks.  1 from
Kentucky, 2 from Illinois, 1 from Wisconsin, many from here in
Oregon.  All rooted peices that grow quickly into bushes (as they
already have root material) and bloom the following spring. Nice as
it's faster to a larger rose, less fragile and less hassle. 

I'll play it by ear as to went to take them. I see that one of the
suckers already has a bud. 

NOTE: For newer folks; these suckers are not the same as suckers of
root stock as with graphed roses, (usually Hybrid Teas) but the
actual ''spreading'' of the older rose (gallicas commonly do this)
that is true to the rose. Own-root.

Sincerely,
