But I am a new gardener and didn't know you could start roses from cuttings either and you can start a rose from one. Is the old plant dying? Or is it someone elses and you would like one of your own that is the same? I guess I'm just wondering if there is a reason you can't wait for it to have a baby?

If I am wrong I hope someone will correct me.
