Hello,
I am looking for cuttings of Red Talisman Cl. Your HMF profile indicates that this is one that is grown in your garden. Would you please share this plant with me? I used to have this rose, but lost it in the 2020 fires in my area. It is no longer available commercially and appears to be dying off in public California gardens. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Connell

Hello, I’m sorry to say my plant is really on its last legs. It only has one cane. Wish I could help.

Your rose garden sounds like heaven on earth. In your garden, do you still have Red Talisman CL ? If so, could you post additional photos of the entire plant?

Hi there. I don't have a great photo of Cl. Red Talisman. My plant is about twenty years old but it is crowded between two big climbers. It's a tough rose. It blooms twice a year. Mine only has one big cane but every year there is new growth from that cane. It makes large hips, which should be pruned to stimulate more growth and bloom.

Hello again,
I am a rose lover who is still unable to find Red Talisman Cl. anywhere to purchase. It seems to be dying off in places where it used to thrive and is now in danger of extinction. I have been working with various vintage rose curators in California and they have come to the same conclusion.
Would you be willing to help to preserve this rose's beauty and fragrance and very existence by sharing cuttings from your Red Talisman Cl? I would gladly pay you for these cuttings. I just need the unrooted plant material, as I can manage to root them on my end. I live in Oregon, and successfully grew this rose in my garden before I lost it after the wildfires here in September, 2020.
Please give my offer serious consideration, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
With best regards,
Cheryl Connell

Hello, I'm so sorry you lost your plant. Mine is in decline. My best chance of getting good wood for a cutting is in the spring. Remind me again then and I'll try.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry to hear that yours is in decline. And where there is life, there is hope. I pray that your rose survives whatever weather conditions this winter brings. I will be in touch in late spring to plan next steps with you.

Hello,
I am following up to see if I can acquire any cuttings from your Red Talisman Cl. for propagation. I hope that it is still doing well enough to share some material.
Thanks again for your help.
With best regards,
Cheryl Connell
