writesI have some climbing roses that I'd like to propagate and the favourite

the ground but for reasons of convenience I'd prefer to layer the new ones
into pots. Any ideas on how feasible this is and what compost to use?

I Can't see any particular problem with layering into pots, other than
needed to keep the pots moist. But you might like to look into
air-layering.

You should have no problems with cuttings taken in the autumn, about 9
inches long and remove thorns and the bottom bud, You could root them
directly into pots.
Thinking of layering, What about making a hole top and bottom of a pop
bottle sliting the plastic between and filling with compost and
putting the stem into it , tape it and leave till the roots show
against the pastic.
Just a thought
