HI,
Bonkers, here anyone know how to start a rose from a clipping from one that is already growing. I've seen my grand mother do this before, but many years ago, thanks for your input.

thanks, bonkers

My girlfriend has a rose that one of her patients gave her. The elderly woman told her to slip one out of the bouquet and take it home and put it in a glass of water on the window sill. Today she reports a beautiful bush.

It seems, however, that many have their own way of starting roses from cuttings. http://scvrs.homestead.com/Cuttings1.html
