I was able to get two cuttings of yellow minature climbing roses from a friend of my mom. They weren’t like ordinary bushy climbing roses, but really neat ones that climb upward into the trees growing along the fence. An usual plant with tons of beautiful minature blooms. The best part is that there aren’t any thorns on them. Just loved it so much that I asked for some clippings. Tomorrow I will take a picture and track how I’m going to propagate this plant. In the meantime, here is the same type of rose but more bushy rather then climbing.

For rooting hormone, you can use 1 cup of willow twigs (fresh bark) soaked in 1 gallon hot water overnight. Or just use honey.

garden-helper.com has a great article on propagating roses, here’s an excerpt: “

For Stem Cuttings : Treat stem cuttings just as you do for leaf cuttings. The one exception is that you cut off a stem with three to five leaves instead of cutting just one leaf. Remove the bottom leaves closest to the cut and leave the remaining ones at the top intact. Otherwise handling is the same as for leaf cuttings.

In both types of rooting cover the pot with a plastic bag to create a greenhouse effect and keep the cutting from wilting. Keep the newly planted cutting in a warm location but out of direct sunlight. Plenty of diffused sunlight is best.

After about three to five weeks you should begin to see evidence of growth. As new plants emerge you can safely transplant these to new soil. Continue to provide a humid environment for the new plants until active and vigorous growth begins.” www.garden-helper.com/Articles/Make-Your-Own-Rooting-Hormone.asp
