Dana Grimmer said...: We have been looking for these heirloom flowers, which used to grow on our grandmother's place. Do you propagate cuttings to sell?; 5:48 PM

Zip91605 said...: I'm 60 and grew up with so many wonderful old world and new world roses my father planted in the Los Angeles area, zip 91604/5 - and started planting my own roses 20 years ago, when I was 40 and had just bought my 1st house in Napa, Ca, approx zone 7/8, zip code 94559. Almost every single one of them, from childhood on up, I know the name of, except 2 twins I planted on either side of my birch tree in Napa. They're very similar to Belinda but a lighter pink and have no fragrance. I've allowed them to grow in a free cascading form... the fountaining canes are @ 8 feet long. They go about 4 feet, then arch over another 4 feet. Full and gorgeous, completely disease-free, self-cleaning rose with small but full, dark green and very healthy foliage, with flowers that bloom continuously from late April through late November, in Napa. They set small, deep orangey-red hips that stay fresh, (not shrivelled), all through the winter and a few remain even when new buds are forming in mid-April! I planted these twins myself 20 yrs ago and I hate that I can't remember the name... can you help?; 9:28 PM
