Can someone give me advice on taking rose cuttings? These photos I took some 10 years ago around a little cemetery about 4-5 metres square and the remnants of a church on a back road. When I last visited about 5 years ago there was evidence that might suggest I am the only person stopping at this quiet space. The heritage rose referred to on the plaque had grown over and through the gate giving evidence no one had passed. I had thought then, and coming upon these photos, has reminded me, that I should return with secateurs.
When our daughter moved house a couple of years ago, I took cuttings from many of her roses and surprisingly many of these took root - and that was around March when they still had leaves and a few flowers.They must be easy to propagate as I had no idea what I was doing. Maggie
Roses are easy to root in winter I believe. Is anyone an expert.
A good topic for one of our meetings?. We came across a slightly similar site on our SHGC garden tour last year in Petticoat Lane Penola where there were signposted heritage rose gardens. Unlike your example, these were well cared for. Maggie
