My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Rose Cutting from a Boquet??????

21 years ago

Hello everyone! I once read in a book (Chicken Soup For the Gardeners Soul) a story about a woman who used to take rose blooms she recieved and treat them like a cutting. She planted them in her garden, and put a canning jar over them (to be like a little greenhouse), and let them grow. The author wrote that after some time, a new little rose bush grew. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? I'd really like to try it, but I don't know how to go about it.
