I hope someone here can help me. We have, in the family, an
80-year-old climbing rosebush that my grandfather had started. I've
tried several times, using various methods in books, to get new plants
started from it but I can't seem to get them to root. Does anyone
have a method that would work for a "non-gardener"?
Many thanks in advance.

Someone asked about seeing the roses. I managed to get a few digital
pictures with an old digital camera. Hope this helps!

If this doesn't work, please let me know and let me know what it is or
isn't doing. Thanks!

Probably American Beauty?

That does look like it. And it does fit with my aunt's recollections.
So, we'll call it the American Beauty rose. I wonder what the
average lifespan of this rose is. Goodness knows this one's been
around a good, long while.
