| I have tried time and time again to start rose cuttings and they always die! i need detailed information on how to start the roses. how big of cuttings, what type of soil, how much water, use root tone or not, how high of humidity, depth of soil for cuttings, basicly everything and anything someone can tell me. I have a pink rose growing in my yard and everyone loves them and i have the idea im going to start some and sell them but i dont know how. |

| I take cutting with at least two 5 leaf stems, I cut them only when the rose has been watered well. Taking cutting with spent blooms seems to help (cut off the spent bloom) Then you can use the soda bottle method (cut off the bottom of a soda bottle, use the top part as a mini greenhouse) Make sure you have good drainage, make a hole in the soil with a pencil and cut the bottom of the stem at a 45 degree angle, dip the cut in rooting hormone (not too much) and put in the hole in your mud. then cover with a soda bottle or a mason jar (mason jar works well for me) I have found any soil mix with lots of perlite and no fertalizer works well. Make sure to keep soil moist not wet and out of direct sunlight. Sadly growing cuttings is a bit of a craps shoot. I bought a 4 tier plastic green house from wal-mart for $15 and my cutting seem to really like it, I have lost a few but most are doing well and are rooted. Good luck and dont lose heart, you will find a method that works well for you by trial and error. No method is fool proof, some just work better than others. |

| I see that some roses are grafted to a more robust root stocks, can I still take cutting from it? How will it perform without the root stock? |

| In most growing conditions roses will do very well on their own roots. For those that don't they are easily budded onto a vigorous root stock. Al |

| Where do you obtain the multiflora needed for the cuttings? I looked on helpmefind and there were 4 kinds. If ordered as bands, wouldnt these have to be grown out first as a larger plant before they could nbe used as cuttings? |
