Hello, I have my grandmother's Peace Rose, which is at least 40 years old. I would love to propagate a couple more for my sisters. I love to garden, but never tried to prpoagate roses, just love to grow them. Please give best method. It has never had suckers from the root stock and my main canes are around 2" diam. it has produced seeds occationally, but I usually deadhead so, not sure how often it would, could try, but would these produce a good root stock? TIA for advice.

| Thanks garystpaul and hartwood. I do have a question about the cuttings growing on their own roots. Aren't they a grafted rose, and will I need to graft them? if so on to what? |

| Older clones of Peace are very fragrant and very hardy. Newer clones have, in many cases, been exposed and infected by rose mosaic virus (RMV), are not as robust and people have reported that they are not as fragrant. If you don't have a lovely older specimen available to clone like Pattie, then you want to get a virus-indexed (VID) clone from Vintage Gardens. If you buy one locally, more than likely it isn't a good clone. Pattie, if you make a cutting of the plant, yes, it would then be on its own roots. Your plant may have originally been grafted, but after all of this time, more likely than not, it has grown its own roots and is probably being supported by more of its own roots than the graft. It is just fine to grow Peace on its own roots. |

diane nj, thank you. That makes sence, It never has had suckers and that is probly why. Glad to know it's own roots will support it.
