Hi Carleen (and all)

Portland is about 2 1/2 hours to the south, Seattle - 1 hour to the north,
but the best part is the Mt. is about 1/2 hour to the east!

and I know that I am missing some, I have quite a few sitting around in pots
waiting to be planted and to make it onto the master list, and I grow
multiples of many, esp. those those that are marked with a * (which means it
is one of my favorites) ! means it will soon be replaced, due to suppebility
to blackspot, weak plant, flower to double (just balls up here, not enough
heat or sun), various reasons.  I do not spray.  All roses are in various
stages of growth, from 5 years to just planted this spring.

>Wonderful... What time of year seems to be the best in General?
>Do you also have good luck with Rugosas?

I have been told by others that the time of year does make a difference with
differant types./species of roses, but I have no more information than that.
Like you I take my cuttings spring summer and fall.  I have never done
rugosas, but I am trying Pink Grootenhurst now.  The cuttings havn't rotted!
but no roots either.

>I'm told that setting it near the Mother plant may be helpful... something
>about a harmone put out by the mother plant?!... perhaps it's just
>mycorrhozie (sp?) or something???

Wow!  it could be, I will try that.

>My alba cuttings of 'Great Maiden's Blush', 'Alba Maxima' and 'Mme.
>Plantier' are still looking good, but they are only 1 (most of them) to 3
>weeks old!  Hardly worth noting yet...

Congratulations!!!  And don't say hardly worth nothing.  Not True
>
>What time frame do you notice you have a successful cutting?
>How soon do you re-pot or set out your cuttings?

I find if it is going to root, it will fairly quickly (in most cases) I
usually have a good show of roots that you can see thru the baggie in 4 to 6
weeks.  I don't seem to have the losses others have in the potting
up/setting out routine, and I think it is because it never really gets hot
or cold here, we are the model of what is called "the mild Climate".    I do
harden off over a period of a week and baby in a pot for awhile.  If it is
getting too far into winter when the younguns' come out, I put them in a
knee high hoop house.

I have a Lavender Lassie getting ready to come out of the baggie, and a
Westerland in the veggy garden, ready to go...  Would you care for  one of
these?
