I haven't done this in decades but I always put a quart Mason jar over them. That's the way my GM and GF did it, so I did.
Good luck with your cuttings and bless your heart for pruning the rose marking that woman's grave.

The jar works as a mini greenhouse. You want it to stay moist, but if a LOT of condensation collects, put a small stick under one side.

jolana's advice about the mason jar over the cutting is a good one. When I am trying to root a cutting, I put it in a one gallon plastic nursery container that is filled with unfertilized potting mix and pull a freezer baggie over the top of the container. I keep it in a shady place and pull the baggie off each day, water it, and put it back on. Best of luck to you. I really hope that rose makes it for you!

If you can set them in the drip line of your roof, you will not have to water them. The condensation will roll off the roof every night, and they will never dry out.

Good Luck,

Denise, I have a rose that came from the countryside where I grew up. It was by a log cabin that was moved to the square of my little home town, and both were well over 125 years old. The rose roots easily, and blooms from early spring 'til late fall or early winter. I am so proud of it, and one day may learn the name of it.

I've done this when I lived in arkansas. The only thing I did differently is to make a hole with a broom handle and fill it with childens play sand then place the cutting in the sand, the rest of the pot had potting soil. Don't know if it makes that much of a difference. I do know the cuttings did great and were doing fine until we moved.

Carrie, did they move the rose with the cabin or did someone get it?

Thanks, all. I am going to try using some large plastic storage bags over the top of the container since the Mason jars I have are too short. I also thought of using clear empty 2-liter soda bottles with the bottom cut off, but we rarely drink soda around here, so I'll stick with the plastic bags. They have been in the pot for 3 days now and the leaves look fine, so I am hoping for the best.

OOh, I can't wait to see pics. Good luck with them.

I'm excited to see too! please keep us updated...

Jolana, I am uncertain, but I think the rose was moved with the cabin. That is how my niece got her start. I will share cutting with you if you like.

If it's still there, maybe I could get a start during homecoming, possible or would they arrest me, lol
Just kidding
Do you have some started? Don't start any on my account, I have my hands full now, but thank you for the offer

This one would look good by the fence where you put the pink climbing fairy rose. It is not a climber, but it does get very large. It is red and blooms and blooms.
