Rosebush cuttings (how to) -Help!
DH and I just bought our first house. My parents have rose bushes that they trasplanted over 20 yrs ago at there house from the previous house they owned.
I would like to take a cutting from these bushes so I can have them at my house as well (they were actually a Mothers day gift to my mom when I was 5 yrs old, so they have sentimental value). How do I do that? Any help is greatly appreciated

Re: Rosebush cuttings (how to) -Help!
This is from "The Green Thumb Gardeners Handbook". It's kind of old but used this last summer and it worked for mine.
"Roses are started by seed, budding, grafting, layering, and cuttings. One of the easiest ways to start new roses is by taking a 'slip' or a 'greenwood' cutting, or you can use mature wood. In summer you take a cutting about 4 inches long and insert it in soil or sand and cover with a fruit jar, after watering. This glass jar acts like a small greenhouse and maintains proper humidity. Leave the cutting in there all winter and in the spring you can remove the glass and plant the rooted cutting."
