Re: Found Roses

Rose have such history and so many 
variations that they alone can keep my
interest. I'm now taking pictures, instead
of cuttings, of the neighborhood roses. 
(at the moment) It's kind of like getting 
"found" roses, just as fun without all the 
fuss. Propagation rates can be 6 cutting 
and 2 years to get one rose.  Still have 25 
cuttings that are doing well out of 117. 
Need better set up.
