2020 Seed Exchange
Feel free to continue this thread for the 2020 non-mysterious seed exchange.
Personally, I can mail in the continental US & hope to have them ready sometime in November/December. OP seeds for the following plants:
R. foliolosa
R. glauca
R. spinosissima
R. nutkana
R. woodsii
and
'Bonica'
'Hansa'
'The Fairy' (polyantha)
'Apothecary's Rose'
'Bella Nitida'

Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
It might not be totally clear, but the above is an offer and you can PM me with your address if you're interested in those seeds. :)
Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
I'm interested in The Fairy and Hansa, partly because of their diploid status which makes them likely to have not self-pollinated. Therefore some potential for interesting and varied OP seedlings?
Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
I would be interested in some Hansa (if there are more after Joe).
Also, is it difficult to germinate Spin seeds? If not I would be interested in those.

Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
Duane,
I give the species (and their crosses) 2 years before I toss them. The glaucas definitely take 2 years. I have no anecdotal information on the spinos.

Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
Spins are two years too (same with the diploid yellow pimps), not difficult, just slow if using as seed parent.

Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
I've mailed seeds to the people that requested in the PM. I still have more if anyone else is interested.

Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
Well the first package was mailed without a hitch because I went up to the counter. The others were not because I applied postage stamps at the same rate and I guess they got flagged due to "heightened security concerns" because of stamps? If I have a chance, I'll try to go up to the counter on Thursday when the post office is open again.
No good deed, huh 2020?

Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
Update that I just have to walk up to the USPS counter and mail these in person. Batch went out fine, this time.
I'll be ready to mail more out in a few weeks. I have plenty. Keep the requests coming in the PM with your address!

Re: 2020 Seed Exchange
Thanks for the update. I had no idea security was so high, and it's good to know.
(I thought it was just ballots the USPS was purportedly holding up.)
