I successfully started new bushes of my Carefree Delight by allowing one stem to grow long in the direction of an open area of the garden. Then, about half way down the stem, I buried a 6" portion and placed a brick on the buried portion. I watered it along with the mother plant all season. The next sping I clipped the baby off of the mother and moved the baby to a new part of the garden. Both did very well.

There are as many ways to propagate roses from cuttings as there are people who have successfully propagated roses. Some methods work better in different climates than others. Also, some roses are just plain difficult to propagate, while others start like weeds. There are a lot of variables.
If you click on the word "Glossary" to the left on the main menu and look up "cuttings", you can find some very basic instructions. You can also find information about this subject all over the net.
Good luck with your roses.
Smiles,
Lyn

I want to know how to take a cutting and successfully get it in the ground. WE live in Nor. Cal and this is related to roses that are growing wild in an orchard near us.

Probably the easiest way to start new plants from your existing rose plants is to take a green cutting. The best time to take a cutting is early/middle summer.
You need to cleanly cut a six to eight inch length of cane underneath the eyes (buds). Then remove all of the leaves, except the topmost two. Next, dip each cutting into rooting powder (available in stores and garden centers). Then stick the cuttings about two inches apart into a container filled with a growing medium such as Perlite. Place the cuttings slightly at an angle, right up to the base of the leaves. Press in the cuttings and then water them.
You will want to cover the container with a plate of glass and aerate it from time to time. The container should be placed in a bright but not sunny place. If after about six weeks roots have formed, transplant the plants into a pot with a somewhat more nourishing compost-potting soil mixture or garden soil. To over winter, place your pots in a cold frame or plant the cuttings outside and protect them from frost with pine branches.
