How do a plant a second rose bush by using a bush that I already have? Do I get seeds from it?

Or do I cut off a certain part and plant it? I have a rose bush that I love and would like to make more from it, if possible. Or do I have to just go buy a new rosebush if I want another? I would like to grow my own.

Take about a 5" cutting,leave it in fresh water and it will form foots.When the roots cover the bottom of the glass transplant it to potting soil and keep it moist.
Reply:Take a long stem from it and bend it until you can bury it into the ground. Cover with soil and water. Sprinkle some RooTone on it to help it root faster. This works with almost all bushes.
Reply:Seed willnot come true. You can try to root ot as the other person mentions. However many roses are grafted. The top of the rose is genetically different from the botton. The top cultivar is grafted onto a rootstock. One it heals and starts to grow, the top is cut off the rootstock. This is because it is tough to breed for a pretty flower and a strong root system. It is worth a try.





FYI rootone is aeffective if it touches the plant, not on the soil. You may not even need it in this case.
