I would be excited too! That's great.

It is always exciting to get roots on a cutting----good luck with your first venture---

It is fun.

It's like giving birth to a rose baby, congrats.

Congratulations! Another easy one is The Fairy, a polyantha with large clusters of small light pink blooms. In many areas it as a good choice for a no spray garden.

congrats!

Congratulations! What method did you use?

Thanks for sharing in my excitement, everyone. You certainly are an understanding bunch.

Vettin, I filled a cup with potting soil and sand. I stuck the cutting in without rooting hormone. I buried the cup in the ground next to a mostly shaded fence and watered every few days.

I did not cover the cup because we have humid weather here. I will probably use rooting hormone in the future for its anti-fungal properties.

Thanks, I would like to try rooting my own. I tried it once with rooting hormone and it did not work. I will try again with some ogrs. When is the best time to do this? When did you root yours?

Yep, good going....I think New Dawn, or more likely Dr. W. Van Fleet, was the first rose I rooted as well.

A couple of you had questions about rooting, so I am posting this link I copied here on GardenWeb. It is wonderful and gives you different rooting options.
