Oh crap....Now everyone will be going to Home Depot and Lowes getting
clippings for grafting...
Did you know the root graft on roses is a patented root stock? And did you
know further that I have successfully layered a bazillion different plants
off it? Well almost, but what the hell, its fun...

Since i have a problem tossing trimmings in thecompost, i do a lot of
propagating G I really don't know how for the most part, but instead
of throwing away all the trimmings, i trim them a little and stick a
few in the ground and some times they take root and some times they
don't. Usually the best are early Spring or mid fall. i had three
miniature roses to start with and ended up by the time i sold the
property with 9 just from cutings stuck in the ground. but like i
said.. some time it works, other times it doesn't. when someone comes
over and admires a plant, i can usually give them an extra young one.
