Interesting info on Roses

I won´t do this and might end up with a crop of potatoes around the rose plant but thought it might be useful to someone

Not sure there's much point in that potato thing. Rose cuttings root easily in sandy soil / compost, just take a nice juicy ripe cutting in late summer / autumn and bury the bottom two thirds. A year on and you've a nice plant.
