Re: California trip/now rose cuttings

Keep trying. When I do them I usually have maybe one or two out of 10 or 15
make it. I always make my cuttings about 6-8 inches long and start mine in
potting soil (maybe I should use sand or perlite) I've got two Rosa
mutablis in my yard that I propagate from a huge old specimen downtown.
They are now both about 6 feet tall. They were my first success about 6
years ago, very sentimental about them. 

I also do not cover mine, just keep them in shade and moist. It is SO humid
here I think bagging them would cause the to fall over from fungi almost
immeduately. Again, maybe perlite would help.........
