Hi Mary! As soon as you can work your soil in the spring is the best time to transplant a rose. If it's early enough and the rose is still dormant it will wake up in its new spot and never know it was moved. Find a spot with well draining soil and at least 6 hours of full sun, 8 would be even better, and dig your hole and prepare it. Then dig up the rose trying to get as much of the root ball as possible and move it to its new spot. Plant it and tamp it gently but firmly and water it in. Keep it moist but never soggy wet until you see it start to put out some new growth then go to a regular watering schedule and feed it a good well balanced fertilizer.

The only way to propagate a rose and have it be true to the variety you want is to do some form of rooted cuttings. There are probably literally thousands of methods out there that all work to varying degrees. Roseseek on here has a method he calls the burrito method that many people have had good luck with. Just do a search on here and I'm sure it will come up. I do more softwood rooting in the spring myself. Usually in June right after the first spring flush as I'm dead heading I'll take some longer cuttings to root. I like a cutting about 12 inches long but I've used some as short as 4 or 5 inches from a mini rose before too. I scrap the green outer skin off the bottom of the cane exposing the white inner pith and dip it into a rooting hormone and place it in a clear plastic drinking cup with a hole in the bottom for drainage and SEED STARTING soil, not potting soil, and place it right out in the sun. You have to watch carefully and keep the soil moist at all times. If it dries out they'll shrivel up and die. I like the clear cups because I can see the roots when they form through the sides so there is no guessing. It takes some practice and don't be discouraged if you don't have great success right away. It took me a couple of years before I had any kind of success at it, lol! And don't be afraid to experiment to find what works best for you. Like I said, there are tons of methods!
