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.

Rose (yes, that really is my name :-)

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

Rose, does this rose repeat or bloom only once in the spring?

This bush does bloom again when the weather turns cooler - say
September/October. But it doesn't bloom as profusely.

And does
it have a rich scent?

Very. It's the classic rose scent. Reminds me of Victorian times.
