Good book on rose propagation?
 

I'm interested in propagating roses from seeds, cuttings, layering, and air
layering. Is there a good book on the subject with lots of detailed
illustrations? Thanks in advance.

There's a great book by Peter Beales, called simply "Roses". I think
the last edition came out in 2001, but am not sure. There is a
chapter in the back re propagation, etc. I've found second-hand books
a cheap, easy way to get info. Many books on roses have a chapter or
section on the subject.

Also, check out the following sites within the Univ. of Washington:

Elisabeth C. Miller Library: Home Page
depts.washington.edu/hortlib/

Center for Urban Horticulture ~ University of Washington
depts.washington.edu/urbhort/

They have links/tabs where you can ask for information, or ask for
source material. They're really helpful and a great resource. Hope
this helps.

Ortho's "Complete Guide to Roses" has a pretty
good explanation of the different processes and
should be fairly easy to find, if you're in the USA
or Canada. Elsewhere - I dunno.

Search the internet first, before buying a book, there are plenty of
websites that describe how to propagate roses. A good starting point is
