Question: I understand that you cannot take cuttings from all rose
plants. Does anyone know anything about the climbers, "Don Juan and
Joseph's Coat?" I won't cut them back until after Thanksgiving and that's
when I take my cuttings. I have not tried these two yet. Any thoughts?


Why not give it a go. Maybe it will work.

My old gardener told me that cuttings will not last as their root systems
are inferior.

I've got two roses grown from cuttings - not graftings - and both are
spectacular.
