I' ve been wondering the same thing now I know. Good Luck!

There are two primary methods of taking cuttings, dependant upon the makeup of the plant. Hardwood cuttings are taken from more rigid plants, such as gooseberries, roses, currants, and others. Softwood cuttings are taken from softer plants, including many flowering plants and bushes, such as carnations, delphiniums, chrysanthemums, geraniums, and the like. Should you have any questions about the type of plant that you're going to be taking a cutting from, ask a nursery or florist to help you.


For hardwood cuttings, it's best to do the cutting in early autumn. The plant is preparing for its dormant state, and it less likely to suffer damage from the cutting. Don't wait too late in the season, though, or else frost might damage the plant where it's vulnerable.

This won't be easy for the average gardener. Most rose tress are made by grafting, meaning that there were two separate plants, the root stock (the roots and some of the main trunk) and the scion (the part with the leaves and flowers). So, it is usually a part of a rose bush placed on top of a long tall less exciting bush.

It's pretty hard to get a good graft and the rootstock alone might be hard to get your hands on. You could try finding a rose bush with a good main leading branch and train it to be a topiary by constantly removing the side branches and letting a bushy top form. I don't know how great this would turn out though.

Maybe it would be easier to hint about what a great gift a new rose tree would make ;)

There are few ways of doing it, like take cutting and dip in the root hormone, then put in the prepared potted soil (In May or October), or grafting a cutting on to the other rose(Between December to February). I am thinking that it is a lot of work and need to be patient doing it. I would buy a new rose, instead.

Take three or four cuttings from your rose each about nine inches long,remove all leaves and small branches until you have a bare stick .Find a sheltered spot in your garden and use your spade to create two slits about six inches deep sprinkle a little fine sand in the bottom of each slit and place two of your cuttings in each slit and close them up.Now you have to exercise patience as it will take about six months for the cuttings to start rooting.keep the area weed free.
