Most roses are grafted onto a hardy rose root stock. Therefore you would have to graft your cutting on to a hardy root stock.
Reply:For some it is easy, some it is not. I have found it is easiest for a rose with large, arching branches to scrap some of the green skin away and pin into the soil.





Other roses, shrub roses rather than hybrid teas, take an 8" cutting similar to a pencil in diameter about the June 10, use rooting hormone and pot in a shady area. Another good time to try this is the beginning of September. If taken in the fall, mulch well at the start of winter.





I have found roses the most difficult to root of all perennials.





There is an excellent book on plant propagation by Ken Druse, something like "The joy and Art of Plant Propagation."


There is a section on rose propagation in it.
Reply:In the fall, take a cutting, dip the cut end in rooting powder and stick it into the ground. Cover with a clear canning jar and in the spring you will have a new rose plant. This is the best way. Use the same procedure in the spring except don't use the canning jar. Fertilize and keep moist. WARNING: This won't work if the rose is a hybrid.
