| Ok folks, I really need some plain language, concise instructions, and friendly feedback.
I have read all of the posts about cuttings from roses. How to get a new rose started from a planted rose and all I seem to read is rose cuttings from the middle of winter that are wrapped. I would like to find out how to go up to a rose that has blooms on it, cut off a branch and get it to make me a new baby rose bush. I appreciate all feedback, suggestions, etc. but please, just info about spring roses, in bloom, not old or already in dormant stage roses. Thanks, Julie |

| Julie, Google Rooting Roses From Cuttings. We have an instructional slide show on the Gold Coast HRG site, at: http://www.goldcoastrose.org/ but there are as many ways to do this as there are people who want to do it. You DO know you should not propagate new roses (in commerce less than 20 years), right? Jeri |

| 1. Find a spot on the north side of the house, or the north side of a tall fence, with loose soil that isn't very rich, and that stays lightly moist but never soggy or very wet. Add some clean sand if you need to, to make the soil loose. 2. Stick cutting into that spot, up to the very tip. Leave the tip exposed so you can find it again. 3. Wait a few months. 4. Repeat as necessary until successful. |

| Thanks for the help everyone. hoovb, I liked the simplicity of your answer, its what I was looking for. Jeri, I am not a commercial grower or a seller of roses, not to sure if you are saying I can't take a cutting of a rose unless I know its ancestry LOL Julie |

| Julie, some roses are under patent. It is illegal to propagate those roses via cutting or budding unless you are licensed to do so. You can find out if a rose is patented by looking it up at Helmefind.com, getting the registration name, and looking up that name at the US Patent and Trademark Office web site. There is also patent info on Helpmefind.com. |
