Hi,

I'm in TX and my roses love to get a little water everyday and to be fed at least twice a month.

I rooted cuttings this winter by placing them in a tub with potting soil in it and placing Mason jars over them. They collect warmth from the sun and also keep moisture that way. I rooted about 25 of them (different varieties) and they are doing beautifully! (This was the way my grandmother and her mother and grandmother rooted roses.)

Hope this helps someone.

Hi, Sunny! Thanks for the info! Do you have to wait until winter, or can I start them this spring/summer when the new growth starts?

I've been so wanting to get a few cuttings of my dad's beloved roses so that I have them for posterity. I'd be able to make a few cuttings for my sister too!
