Caz that is gorgeous..I have wanted to borrow a cutting from a rose bush here in town but wasn't sure how to start it..There are a few methods that I have read. So please tell me what did you do for your great success?

Its been a while but i probably started it with the same method i've been using for some time now. I dig humus/rotted leaf/bark litter from the base or stump of a large oak. This i use for potting soil. i use a pot with large drainage holes. Cut stems for starts with 4 growing buds. Pinch the leaves off the 2 lower buds and bury them. Put several starts in a pot. Some will not survive. Keep moist. Place pot in bright, but not too much direct sunlight. I start mine in spring and fall.
Leave potted after new growth starts for 2 months. I live in the woods with lots of oaks and shade so this works well for me.
