Three weeks ago I visited my home town, Malvern Arkansas and Oak Grove Arkansas for a reunion of cousins. At the Lone Hill and Social Hill Cemeteries I collected several rose cuttings. Most are now rooting! I have no idea what they are but plan to grow them in pots as keepsake momentos. Many of my relatives are buried at those places. Very likely these roses are hand-me-downs and could be very old. They could be new, we will see. Joe T Baytown/Houston I think that makes you officially a "rose rustler". Let us know how the cuttings turn out. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 Gail Now that the cuttings are leafing out should I move them from shade to sun? Joe T Baytown When I grew cuttings I kept them in partial shade until they were fairly well established. I put them under a young Bald cypress near my garage where it was easy to water them daily and watch their progress. I didn't want our relentless TX sun to dry them out, which is a real concern. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 I followed your advice and they seem to be rooting. Some put on leaves already. Jo T That sounds great. You might even see some blooms before long. Keep us updated.
