Anyone come across this before?
"Lyn" wrote in message news:y1Wjc.654$7S2.422@newsfe1-win... While wandering round a local garden centre today I stopped to admire a clematis, and on reading the label was surprised to see in bold letters "propogation of this plant is illegal". Now since a lot of the pleasure I get from gardening is from growing my own stock from one plant (and being broke it is often the only way I can increase my plants), this warning stopped me from buying, but I'm moved to ask if this is a rare happening or a new trend? If I were you,I would pay no attention to that notice. It is intended for the consumption of commercial propagators. Half the pleasure of gardening is in trying ones hand at propagating plants. I can understand why a newly developed plant should be protected from commercial exploitation, but there is no harm in propagating ones own specimen of such a plant for ones own pleasure. I have frequently taken cuttings of roses, for my own use, which I am sure were still under copyright (or whatever) protection, and I have no qualms about it. Franz |
