I have Satin Rose, Amber Rose, Tequila Sunrise, Audrey Hepburn and an orange one whose name I can't remember right now but it has serrated leaves and has 60 blooms on it right now even though it is only a first-year plant.
Anyone have the yellow Whiskers cuttings for trade?
I can help with this, too. :)
amazing! the orange one I couldn't think of is Solid Gold. I love it. Very floriferous and smells great! Audrey Hepburn was mislabeled and is really Amber Rose. Satin rose is a deeper pink but i am hoping to get Mountain Magic, which is another deep pink. I want it because it seems so appropriate where I live in the Southenr Appalachians. As for Dr. Seuss, it has struggled when none of the others have. I dug it up today, planning to take cuttings, but I saw blemishes on the trunk and pitched it really quick.
Do any of these interest you?
Please D-mail me.
woodspirit are you growing Whiskers? Which is your favorite brug? 60 blooms on one young brug that is incredible.
I noticed you mentioned using lime. I need to try that.

I "think" but not sure that Solid Gold is my favorite at the moment. But I liked Whiskers a lot, don't know what happened to it, maybe my effort to root it and keep it failed. I didn't have a good place in my house to root them and even did a few at work. Now I have a small greenhouse, only about 8x10 but it has a lot of shelves and I am doing better. This year I made up a fertilizer schedule so I wouldn't forget. I also added the lime and I'm sure it helped.
I will be even more aggressive next year. I am going to make some alfalfa tea and add the fish emulsion, kelp and molasses. (Although I think alfalfa feed has some molasses in it). I'll probably add this every 2 weeks and the other 2 weeks use the granular Bayer's 2 in 1 and maybe even some pelletized chicken poop I have. I was using just a capful of Bayer's before; I use more now.
I have Messenger too, but not sure it has had an impact.
