1. Fill a bucket with sharp sand used for concrete or sand box sand.
2. Moisten to dampness of a wrung out sponge. (keep moist through out process)
3. Take 8 to 12 inch diagonal clippings from best canes and shove about 5 to 6 inches deep in sand.

In 4 to 6 weeks you should have some well rooted roses. Be patient, as some roses may take longer.

I use this method to start other woody plants as well. Good luck.

I have another method to rejuvenate old plants that involves pruning the roots to encourage fresh new feeder roots.
