I have taken the stem cuttings of Ann Folkard.  After three days, nearly
half have collapsed.
Odd, that Ann is from Ger. procurrens, which readily roots at the nodes.
Is A T Johnson a sanguineum?  My label only gives me a name.
How about Ger. Lawrence Flatman?  Do you have any info on proping that? 
That is another stunner.  What a flower!  But I only have 6 left. 
Yesterday I brought all the Anns inside out of the direct sun (foliage
was reddening) and two more sold within half an hour.  I have finally
rat-holed one just for myself.  I hate to part with them.
