I've started almost all my roses from cuttings, including Peace, Christopher
Stone, and more. If one gets damaged, I know that whatever sprouts come up
are still the variety, not a rootstock. There are several ways to root rose
cuttings. In your zone, I'd suggest taking cuttings in the fall, then just
stick them in the ground and leave them. I did that with Queen Elizabeth
one October (zone 7-8, here in Oregon) and had 110 of 120 cuttings grow.
Many were three feet tall by the following September.
