Newcomer with a question or two.

Hello to all,
Some of you proably recognize my name from other lists we may be
mutually on..I humbly join you here in hopes someone can answer the
following rose questions ..I'm definitely on a learning curve where
roses are concerned so please bear with me..

I have a well establised (2-3yr)Bourbon Rose"Madame Ernst Calvat"of
which I would like to take cutting of in the spring to multiply this
fine rose..But it turns out its on,"Minetti"root stock and not on its
own roots..

So with this in mind would it be unadvisable to attempt cuttings on
their own roots?
Or should I try to attain some of the same "Minetti"root stock?
What is the advantage of using such r.stock?Disease
prevention,vigor,hardiness?
            (Definitely need to know about the hardy part,this is a zone
6 sometimes 5)

It has adapted well to our climate here which is high desert and can be
wickedly cold in the winter and horribly hot in summer,so I hope to
duplicate the success that this one has demonstrated..

Hope I have given you all enough info and didnt confuse the issue,as I
really need the advise.
If it must have the M.root stock where could I attain it?

Thanks for "listening"and looking forward to your assistance .
