The post above with the small purple rose above as stated is from my grandmother's yard.
We used a cut stem with a flower and it didn't take but two small cuttings from the base in a pot did almost nothing for a couple of weeks I was going to dump it yesterday and start over and both cuttings have new growth!
I wish I had taken a picture. I was for sure they were not going to make it, I wish I could see what goes on under the dirt.
