    Im a little embrassed. I was offered some cuttings from someone here. I dont know how to grow from a cutting. Every cutting Ive ever gotten has died. :oops: :oops:

    Can someone share a easy way to grow a cutting? Ive even experimented on my roses. Nothing. :oops: :oops:

    I would really love to learn! There are some beautiful shrubs and trees out there that can be had from a cutting!!!

    New to this too....

    I'm new to this too, but so far so good. I took the information from this site to build a bed, you could easily go straight to a pot I'd think:

    I'm using this for the rose cuttings:

    And I'm using the regular/weaker/cheaper rooting hormone you find at the home improvement centers for the softwood/perennial cuttings.

    After the roses root in the bed (hopefully), I plan to transplant to a pot and not plant them in the ground until next year. I'll have to protect them over the winter or they'll die.

    Here's a useful site for propagating clematis:

    I've got a clematis that has grown all the way back down to the ground, so I'm trying to root it by layering. It should work.
