    I've read about this before but never tried it. My reservation about burying the spud should be obvious

      Don't most roses grow on grafted root stock. So would you get a true copy of the original rose?

        Roses are easy from cuttings and they do come true.

          Then I will try some. Is it too late to do now?

            You need some fresh stems about pencil thickness - nothing old and tired. I'm going to be taking some soon as I want some roses from the house I'm hoping to sell.
            I don't have an option about when to take them, its now or never - so it'll be now!
            I shove them in the ground where I want them to grow and leave them to it.

              Roses do grow easily from hardwood cuttings. Make them about a foot long, bury them to half their depth in sandy soil in a sheltered spot, leave for a year.

              Be aware of rose patents though, these last for 20 years after introduction of the plant. If you propogate such a rose you're breaking the law.
