CLIMBING ROSES
How To Make Cuttings Strike 'Those who experience difficulty in getting cuttings of climbing and rambler roses to strike, should adopt the following method: Having selected the cutting—preferably one about Gin. to 12in. in length, with a heel —take an old potato and make a hole in it. Insert the cutting in the hole and plant the potato about Bin. deep. During the rooting process the cutting is fed and kept alive by the potato, which rots away after a few months and leaves the new rose roots to strike through the soil.
