Hello,
As for rooting roses and other shrubs, etc. I have a box (like a child's sand box) set-up in a shady spot. In the box, I have a mixture of 75% sand and 25% potting soil.
When I take my cuttings, I make sharp, clean cuts and immediately place them in water. When I have gathered all the cuttings I want, I head to my "rooting box". I then remove the cutting from the water and dip it in "Root Tone". Shake of the excess and poke a hole in the sand with a stick. Place the cutting in the hole and push the sand mixture tight around the buried stem. I then keep them moist. Sometimes if it is hot and dry, I will put a piece of plastic over the cuttings do they stay damp.
Now for the good part. All of the above should be done on the first quarter of the moon. I know it sound odd, but my 90-year-old grandmother gave me that tip and it does work.
I forgot to tell you. Do not let them to get dry. I water mind everyday.
Happy gardening.
Hoyt

HelpMeFind has an excellent article in this month's Ezine about how to start roses from cuttings. Just click on Ezine on the main menu to the left and scroll down to George Mander's article about starting roses from cuttings.
