You asked for 2 Belle Poitevine Hybrid Rugosa Roses in May.

My answer is I root hundreds of cuttings every year and take a cuttings picture like the one above (showing either the plant we take cuttings from, cuttings being rooted under mist with the crop number on the side of the pot, plants in one gallon pots being grown that have not flowered yet or plants with price stickers on the side of the pot indicating its for sale). If I had available plants of this variety the cuttings picture above would probably show a bunch of 1 or 2 gallon rooted cuttings with an abreviation of the variety name printed on the side of the pot with a paint pen next to the date the cutting was first potted (when its two years old and been positively identified from the flower I will stick a price sticker to the side of the pot showing its for sale). If the cuttings picture shows one of our plants on drip line it probably means that we have not successfully rooted cuttings yet or are currently sold out.

This picture shows a bunch of roses in one gallon pots being inspected for mouse damage and to add mouse baits.

Click the picture for a larger image that can be studied more closely (check the date this picture was taken in the lower right hand corner of the picture).

It will open a page with the latest pictures and information about that variety. And your interest expressed in your email makes it more likely that I will take cuttings from it again this year.

I take pictures each spring and save them as this years, one year olds and two year olds. You can read the date they were planted as a cutting written on the side of the pot. Of course they wont be for sale until they are at least two years old and have been identified (with a price sticker stuck on the pot) probably from the flower in June.

Rosa alba Sem-plena as of October 2015 the cuttings picture above shows a bag of cuttings taken (click this picture to open a larger image and examine the date the picture was taken in the lower right hand corner. Next June 2016, any semi plena that says 2014 on the side that flowers will have a price sticker attached and have a picture taken. If you see such a picture in the newsletter or maybe I'll over-write rosesbymailbig.jpg or even this picture cuttingssemiplenabig.jpg, and if you examine the date in the corner of the picture and its recent maybe you'll want to contact me right away. If I had some that had price stickers on them I would have over-written a picture of them for the cuttings picture probably.

Rosa rugosa 'Robusta' the cuttings picture as of October 2015 shows me pointing with a pencil at potentially viable cuttings. This is a mistake as I know I sent cuttings to the greenhouse but I know that no 'Robusta' flowered this year.
