Sherry,
All of my brugs with the exception of Charles Grimaldi are all new for me as of March 2003. I had about 40 varieties planted directly in the ground,of which about 30 overwintered and came back this spring. The ones that didn't will not be replaced and at them oment I can't think of the names of those.
As for rosenquartz it was overwintered in my gh becasue I didn't recieve the cutting until late November of 03 and by then it was too late for planting it outside. Right now it is planted in the ground and gets full sun from about 3 pm until dark.

Sylvia I don't know of anyone who sells this one other than NH. I did not purchase it directly from them but got it in a trade form someone else. I'd be glad to share mine with you but you know of the problems I had with the brugs earlier on this year and don't want to be responsible for possibly spreading any disease or fungus,though this plant is green and healthy with no signs of any crud. And besides I really have no desire to be drug through the mud again as I was before.
I will take cuttings of this one when the chance for frost comes again just so I know i'll have a backup. The mother will stay in the spot she is in now.
