Question
i am new to growing roses and my mom has a beautiful rose that i would love to get a start from but i cant find one like it anywhere.  I was wondering if you could tell me how to take a "slip" off of it and get it to grow.  I figure if my husband can get Kiwi plants to grow in indiana then i can learn how to take slips from roses lol


thank you so much

Answer
Here are a couple of web sites that will show you how to take cuttings from a rose and grow another one. Only use cuttings from the tip of a cane that has flowered. Also make sure you take at least 10 cuttings as some may not take. Hope this helps. Lynnette
