Antique Roses

[DianaB]

Your roses are very beautiful, Gayle!!! I can remember my Great-grandmother that lived right next door to us had several of those in her front yard and they were beautiful too.

FYI--I don't know if you know this or not, but to start a rose bush just cut a piece of stem (about 8 - 10 inches or so). Then stick it in the soil on the north side of your house next to the foundation. Next put a canning jar over it and leave it until it's well started. I've had them start but never left them long enough to get a good root base so make sure that you leave them for quite a while.
