I started eight months ago, and although some of the seeds I planted died, with trial and error I still have 23. The climate is perfect for them here. I live in Durban. In the summer rains I have to be careful as that's when some of my seedlings died. I have taken cuttings and as you said (or one of your readers mentioned, they flower, but don't grow a thick caudex.

In most cases the stem may die back and fall off like I think you mention. If you cut another branch I say cut to an area that has a bud or branch growing off to the side.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-40071163765533662852011-04-07T15:13:29.420-05:002011-04-07T15:13:29.420-05:00ok i had my DR for about 2 years and the branches ...ok i had my DR for about 2 years and the branches got to high and thin so i cut them back and the ends turned brown and hard should i be worried will new shots grow from the branch ends should i take the brown off beacuse the one end i pulled a little and it poped of like a cap and shows a little greenish white should i do this with the other branches thanksUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494261254495176594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-365529065910720322010-06-22T23:04:42.264-05:002010-06-22T23:04:42.264-05:00Pratibha,

It bloomed profusely last year, all white blossoms, and at first I thought it was a jasmine or gardenia or something, but the flowers didn't smell like anything. The one here isn't pruned, and stands about 5 feet tall, gangly and twiggy-looking. I did a search online to learn more, and found <A HREF="http://www.mgonlinestore.com/AllDesertRoses/" REL="nofollow">this link</A> you may enjoy.
