OLD TIME HINT FOR ROSE CUTTINGS

My Grandfather was a very successful gardener. In spring he would take a glass jar and put it on top of a rose cutting.
#1. Take the cutting of NEW growth and push it a few inches, directly into good soil in your present garden.
#2. Cover it with an up side down glass jar. The jar is like a small greenhouse.
#3. By placing in your garden, you will keep a good eye on it progress. Water along with your other garden plants.
#4. The other plants will soon help shade the small greenhouse. Once it gets a good root system, you can move it to a permanent place. In some areas you need to watch your small greenhouse, days are getting warmer and the jar might need to be removed during the day light hours.
This system can be helped with a root powder you can find where plants are sold. Just use your good garden sense and you will be successful like my grandfather. Good luck and I will let you know, if I have good luck with this old time procedure.
