propagating knock out roses

My friend's aunt told her that she has started a lot of new knock out roses by cutting a cane and putting a mason jar over it for the winter. Here in West TN we have very mild winters. Has anyone else in my area tried this with any luck?

I'm sure it would have a chance of working, but just be aware that most knockout roses are still under patent, so it is illegal to propagate them. Patents on roses are valid for 20 years; so anything after 1992 is still under patent. If you go to Helpmefind.com and search "knockout" it will tell you the year the rose was patented. :)

There�s many other roses besides knockout that are perfectly legal and even more beautiful�take a look on HMF and there may be someone willing to do a cutting exchange with you.
