rooting albas

**"Dave &/or Tam" dguinn@aa.net>**

This my very first message to the list, I have enjoyed reading all the
messages for the past few months.
I live in Buckley, WA which is a small town up by Mt.. Rainier, we are zone
7/8 or Sunset zone 5 (I think).  I grow about 100 roses, all types, my favs
being hybrid musks and albas.

I have been propagating regularly (using the baggie under lights inside) and
have alot of luck with almost all types, which leads me to my question,
since the list is discussing propagation.  Can anyone tell me the secret to
Alba cuttings?  I have tried in spring, summer and fall, and have never had
one take.  Any advice would be very very much appreciated.  Thanks so much.

Tam
