Year after year it produces beautiful light peach fragrant flowers. Is there any way I can take some of the "bush" & plant it in my yard, other than going through the propagation process. Since he's willing to give me some of it, can I "dig up" part of it & plant it? Quote \| Reply \| Report

The cutting process is not that hard look at this site it will help you take a cutting www.mgs.md.gov/mdrose/rfaqzcuttings.html If it does send up new individual stalks though you can just dig one up. Try to work in your shadow or at dusk when the sun isn't full. Good luck and happy gardening Quote \| Reply \| Report

It is a beautiful old cabbage style pink rose. It is full of buds now. I printed off the directions from the web site so wish me luck. Hope you get your cuttings to grow. I'll check back later this summer. Quote \| Reply \| Report
