Garyon-I put the leaves down around the beginning of July, separated into individual solo cups, pruned heavily, placed under bright light, and continued pruning out large leaves that covered the new growth beneath. Long necks got pinned down or reburied. I didn't pay enough attention to which way was best (forgot to mark them). I have a big tray of duplicated varieties and have lost some to overwatering or overpruning or both!

Lynn- I just checked, and my champagne pinks are all gone. They all succumbed from the above. I hope yours will make it. I lost some Fancy Trails too. I think the variegated varieties did not like my harsh method or pruning.

Here are some more: Rob's Jindalee, Vanilla trail, Fancy trail, Ramblin' showstopper, Gundaroo, Boolaroo, Chantaspring, S. Rupricola, and R Humpty Doo. The very fastest growing and suckering for me are R. Sticky Wicket and R. Jindalee. (Ramblin' Showstopper was added as a small starter and not grown from a leaf)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
