Rose cuttings
1. Take pencil sized cuttings from healthy plants at a point where the cane breaks with a snap. If the cane bends, the wood is too tough, or it crushes, it is too green. A point below the sixth set of leaves on a shoot that has just finished blooming (some say, some say the opposite) Remove the two bottom sets of leaves, or most of the leaves, score the base and cut an X with a razor blade to make more area contact with the Rootone, set cuttings in the ground, cover with a cloche, the jar keeps it moist, new shoots should appear in 3-4 weeks. I have had good luck with the ones stuck in the ground, rather than pots, maybe it has something to do with soil micro-organisms.
