Looking for Purple-leaf Crinum
Comments (4)Jen, I can send cuttings of the plum. I have not tried to root them and was wondering if you had. I might try to root the Guthrie after it leafs out more. I can also send a bulb of the Eucommis. You can propagate Eucommis by carefully pulling a leaf off and planting the base of it in a small container of good potting soil. The leaf will gradually produce 2 small bulblets by the end of summer. I think Chickasaw Plums require 2 different plants to pollinate before they can fruit. The Indians had hundreds of cultivars, probably lost now. Does Cerinthe major grow easily for you? Mine keep dying. Mexican Petunia, dwarf pink is one I don't have. I'm waiting to see if Mirabilis longiflora comes back. It has smaller but very long stemmed white flowers with a fragrance similar to M.jalapa. I can swap you for a seed or two of Senna didymobotrya. I have Cassia or Senna hebecarpa, similar to C. marylandica. Have Salvia leucantha- Velvet Sage in two varieties. We may get seed of Sinocalycanthus this year. It had a few pods last year.

Comments (10)Hey I just started gardening a few years ago and this is one of the first years im really trying to expand. You have tons of things id love to see in my garden and a lot of stuff ive never seen. I dont have anything to trade yet except some pineapple mint but i dont really know how to ship cuttings. Would you maybe help me out with some sort of a newbie package for a SASE or a donation?...See MoreSuggestions for best continuous bloom rose?
Comments (50)Aaron, some of my roses do bloom in part shade, including Rouge Royale. I've found no difference in any blooms frying here, whether the rose grows in part shade or full sun. It's a desert here and the air is very dry. This does as much damage as sun and heat, making almost all roses quickly crunchy. We have been in a continuous heat wave since June 9, and no rose will do well in that, whether in shade or not. I wish the roses wouldn't even try to bloom when it gets so hot and dry. We had no rain for almost three months until a few days ago, and finally, we got one night of rain. No more since. Today, finally, we drop into the 80s. For a few days, then it goes back up, which I hope proves incorrect. I've grown Jude the Obscure (huge) for 17 years, and while it is an exquisite, unique rose, I don't find that it reblooms well, certainly not like Munstead Wood, so I hope you eventually do acquire Munstead Wood. Other great bloomers for me, which I've probably already mentioned (sorry) are Julia Child, of course, Tamora, Golden Celebration, Boscobel, Love Song, and good bloomers, Rouge Royale, Augusta Luise, Ebb Tide, Twilight Zone, Bernstein-Rose, Ballerina, and who did I miss--ha? You will have fun, if you find him, with the challenging Prince, which slogged along for years, and produced nice blooms, when it felt like it, on a pretty little bush. After The Prince's third transplant, it perked up, liked the place, and began a slow "expansion", which exploded about three years ago, when The Prince put pedal to the metal, blooming almost nonstop. The blooms even got darker. This rose has gotten so big that I'm wondering if it has gone own root, or what other major factor has caused such a transformation.

Comments (8)anuparaj, Are you considering once-blooming roses (that bloom for a period of several weeks at the beginning of the summer) or only those that bloom all season long? Several of the old garden roses do really well here. One of my favorites is "Rose de Rescht"--it repeat blooms, is fragrant, and is a great looking shrub with dark blue-green foliage. For once-bloomers, good ones include "Duchesse de Montebello", "Belle de Crecy", "Felicite Parmentier", "Charles De Mills", "James Mason", and a bunch more. If you like "Sally Holmes", you also might like "Lyda Rose"--and it will bloom its darn head off. Another place you can order the roses besides Heirloom is Rogue Valley Roses in Oregon. Bigger plants are available at the Antique Rose Farm in Snohomish, and they should be able to answer a bunch of questions, too. A good place to check out roses is HelpMeFind.com. You can go to the roses section, search on a plant name, and see photos and all sorts of comments by members. Plus you can find out places to buy a rose--there's a "Buy From" tab....See Moremmmm12COzone5
