Standard Rose

TequilaMockingBird · 2008-05-07 18:58:05

I have a nice standard rose which has lots of admirers! Anyone know how I can grow news ones from it? I regularly prune long branches from it and have rooted them, but I don't know how to start the 3'ish "trunk". I've googled it, briefly, but theres not alot in non-gardener speak.
