Question
I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington.  A couple of years ago I just took a cutting from a rose bush stuck it in root tone and put it in dirt.  Behold it grew.  I then tried again and the cutting did not make it.  I don't remember the time of year I did it the first time.  What do I need to do to secure success to try it again.
Thank you

Answer
Here are a couple of really good web sites that will give you lots and lots of information regarding taking cuttings. Just be sure to take at least 5 as some will not make it.
Hope this helps. Lynnette
