RE: [Rose-list] was: hardiness/now vegative reproduction

**"* A* <j*@classic.msn.com>**

I propagate roses via cuttings -- not from fresh growth but from older growth 
at mid-season, like July. Each cutting is about 6 inches long. The bottom 
leaves are dipped in rooting hormone and the cutting goes into soil in shade, 
covered by a clear glass jar. Not deep shade but enough to keep temperatures 
from "baking" the cuttings. 

This method works for me; losses are few. A cold frame would work nicely; 
maybe I'll get around to building one this year.

Susan,

Many old-timers have sworn by this method of reproduction.  Could you give
more details?  Like, do you put the rose where you'd like it to be
eventually or do you put it in a shadier spot until it starts growing on
it's own roots?  I'm afraid that in our hot summers the glass jar will act
like a magnifying glass and burn the rooted rose to a crisp!

And I am assuming that this is the right time to do this?  I have my eye on
two roses that I'm eager to rustle...
