Take healthy stem cuttings from a rose plant
Choose stems that are about 6 to 8 inches long
Cut just below a leaf node
Remove flowers, buds, and lower leaves
Keep a few leaves at the top
Dip the cut end in rooting hormone
Plant the cutting in moist, well-draining potting mix
Insert the cutting deep enough to stay upright
Water lightly to settle the soil
Cover the cutting with a clear plastic bag or dome
Place it in bright, indirect light
Keep the soil consistently moist, not soggy
Ventilate occasionally to prevent mold
Wait for roots to develop
Transplant the rooted cutting into a larger pot or garden soil
Harden off the new plant before outdoor planting
Alternatively, propagate roses by layering a low stem into soil
Alternatively, propagate roses by grafting onto rootstock
Alternatively, propagate roses by dividing suckers from own-root roses
