Re: Pruning- Ancestor roses

I'm surprised, Trevor, that you don't know about Trinity Farm in Otaki -
Lloyd Chapman grows all his roses from cuttings.

His website is just about completed and you can visit it at

>> .Before moving to the coast in Otaki (NZ) I had about 65 roses,I also had
a shadehouse with about 200 Orchids, so when I wanted to propogate rose
cuttings I took the cuttings about one month before normal pruning time and
set them in a mixture of medium sand and pine bark 50/50 the same mixture I
used for my Pleone orchids,they were set at about 45 degrees with about 1
1/2 inches out of the mixture. I have never used hormones to get them going
.The shadehouse was covered with 33% shade cloth so didnt drop below
5degrees celsius even in a frost.
