That's a truly lovely rose Kim. How do you think she might like cascading from a tree? I ask this because my Jasmina has done so well in her tree and I have another small tree available.

Such a beautiful rose Mr. Rupert! Well done, sir. You really outdid yourself with this one. I hope it will stand the test of time as some of the fine roses from the 1800s have.

Josh, I am sorry your ALM is not taking off. If you cannot revive yours, sometime in the Spring, if my cane diameter and growth etc. is suitable, I would be more than happy to send you a cutting along with your cutting(s) for Allen Cemetery.

I have been shocked by the fact that my ALM is VERY healthy, and in just under two months, has literally doubled in size. The summer will be the test that I hope it passes with flying colors. It was love at first sight for me in regards to this rose, and I can only hope that my bush becomes even close to the health and beauty I see on Kim's images.

I'm sorry I don't know what else to suggest to help your struggling band. When I root her here, she calluses and roots right down the line and then continues growing well as long as I keep her disbudded. Burlington has her and hopefully will keep her propagated. Long Ago has her and I know she's working to produce her, too. I have to check with Heirloom to see how the large Flat Rate box of cuttings I mailed them several months ago are doing. If I had room and the County of Los Angeles and California weren't such aggravations to deal with, I'd love to be able to sell her directly, but that opens too much of a Pandora's Box with quarantine areas for various pests. Inspection and licensing costs are prohibitive for one or a few varieties on a limited scale. Otherwise, it could be fun! Kim

Thanks for the reminder of what's to come.

I appreciate the generous offer, but as ALMD is still patented and licensed out to other retailers I would not feel comfortable with taking that revenue away from Mr. Rupert. If she does not pull through I will be happy to get in line along with everyone else to receive a new band!

Mr. Rupert,

I took a look at her today and all hope does not look lost. I will keep babying her and hope she will be able to revive from my abuse. (I don't coddle new roses nearly enough to ensure their survival)

Josh

Wow, you definitively answered a question that was in the back of my mind. I have read where folks on this forum and others send cuttings of newer roses, ALM included. I rather naively assumed it was okay as the goal would not be to sell, propagate a new rose or mass produce it etc. Thank you. I definitely would not want to do anything illegal or infringe upon a person's rights.

I'm interested in z8 Wrightwood, Ca for example
