The Texas Rose Rustlers have a web-site on propagation of roses where they
recommend the willow water method. Check out
http://www.texasroserustlers.org/ and follow the link on propagation of
roses. I personally dont know whether that method works but those are some
pretty "heavy duty" rose folks so I imagine there is something to it.

I wonder where I can get some willow branches. Here in southwest Austin
there are tons of oaks, cedars, hackberries, etc. but I dont recall seeing a
willow tree in these parts.

I've read about using the water that cut up willow stems have been soaking
in for rooting other plants, has anyone had good results?
If so, does it depend on the type of willow?

Thanks in advance for any help
