Well, the thing with roses is they are most typically grafted onto a hardy woodstock of some other variety. Almost all the modern ones are. They started this in the 1850s, so modern being relative, chances are good you can take cuttings but they won't thrive as well as momma.



You can take cuttings from almost all woody plants. You want to get at least 6'' of new, but hardened off growth (stem will be brown, but freshly grown), strip the leaves off about half to 2/3, dip in a rooting hormone and place in loose, fertile potting or rooting soil. Keep moist but not wet until the plant starts growing vigorously and then when you have sufficient roots, replant in the yard or a bigger pot with more substantial soil.
Reply:there is so much info on rooting roses from cuttings.



I have a climbing rose bush - the rose that refused to die but cuttings from it have not been successful.



It survived heavy rains, followed by black spot, then drought and was nearly flooded. I thought it was dead, cut it off at the ground (but didn't dig up the root). It came back the next spring and I transplanted it to a place in the garden where it wouldn't be under such heavy runoff from the roof of the house. It almost died again from the heat but with good water again survived. I pruned it severely and moved it one more time near a corner of the house but protected from runoff and heavy winds near a large crepe myrtle. It comes back beautifully every time from the root. But I've taken cuttings, used root stimulator and rich potting soil - with no luck whatsoever.
