Hello:
I am still trying to get cuttings of Grandmere Jenny. Would members of the Coastal Rose Society be willing to sell cuttings to me instead of only selling their cuttings at their auction? I need five cuttings of Grandmere Jenny and will pay $17.00 for each cutting and also pay for shipping. Thank you. Margaret Lamb

Margaret, we advised you a good while back that this type of comment is better suited as a Private Message, rather than a public Comment.

No we do not sell cuttings. Also, I tried to root a Grandmere Jenny a few months ago, unsuccessfully. It seems to be a hard one to get to take from a cutting, and I have a whole system of misting and lights and when needed, underheat. So I would not recommend what you are trying to do here as it appears you are likely to spend the money and not get your rose.
Also, for those of you that follow California Coastal Rose Society's annual auction of rare roses, our list of roses we will be selling at this year's auction (October 28, 2018) has just been posted at www.ccrsauction.com.

Could you not just graft it?

I could. But I only had the couple of cuttings that I tried to root from a person who grows it in the desert, and he had asked me to try to start a new plant for him, as his efforts had also been unsuccessful, and that was a sentimental favorite of his. His plant was on last legs when I took what I thought it could spare. And I am usually better at rooting than grafting, which is a whole different skill set.

I see. It was just a thought because it seemed a difficult rose to root and budding might have been easier.

I am looking for Grace de Monaco. If you still grow this rose, I will pay $17.00 for each cutting (I'm looking for 4 cuttings) and will also pay for shipping. If you do still have Grace de Monaco, I would like the cuttings sent to the Burlington Rose Nursery in California so that Grace de Monaco will not go extinct. Thank you Margaret Lamb
