Three weeks ago I visited my home town, Malvern Arkansas and Oak Grove
Arkansas for a reunion of cousins. At the Lone Hill and Social Hill
Cemeteries I collected several rose cuttings. Most are now rooting! I
have no idea what they are but plan to grow them in pots as keepsake
momentos. Many of my relatives are buried at those places. Very likely
these roses are hand-me-downs and could be very old. They could be new,
we will see.

I think that makes you officially a "rose rustler". 
Let us know how the cuttings turn out.

Now that the cuttings are leafing out should I move them from shade to
sun?

When I grew cuttings I kept them in partial shade
until they were fairly well established. I put them
under a young Bald cypress near my garage
where it was easy to water them daily and watch
their progress. I didn't want our relentless
TX sun to dry them out, which is a real concern.

I followed your advice and they seem to be rooting. Some put on leaves
already.

Hey Gail, I have a bud! By the way, Firstrays.com has orchid pots that
work great for other plants and you can make them out of coke bottles.
You drill two holes 1" up from the bottom, froming a sump in the
bottom. Prevents dryout so you can water less often.

Joe, that's great! When I've done cuttings I
viewed the first bud as a sign of success. Of
course the process isn't finished yet, but
you've made a good start. Congrats! :)
Interesting comment about the orchid pots.
Anything that works...

Well, it is budding again, five tiny buds this time on a new branch,
should I clip them or just let it flower?

I'd let them flower. Clipping them will just force the rose to put more
energy into producing more buds. Like when you deadhead, you're encouraging
the plant to put energy in making flowers.

Cool! How much does it resemble the parent? Are the blooms the same size?
I was away from home for a week for the first time all summer; fortunately
that week our temperatures got lower and we actually got some rain.
Previously I had been watering my roses every 3-4 days and only losing a few
of the weaker ones.
I had an Iceberg planted by my driveway and it did fine for two years;
absolutely no problems. Then I transplanted it into one of the beds, a spot
where I had lost 3 or 4 other roses since 1999. I should have known! My
poor Iceberg, which I transplanted in January (it should have been well
established by August), dried up and died. ::sob::
So now I don't know what to do with that spot. I always put in new soil
when I transplant, but usually only in a hole large enough for
transplanting. Now I'm thinking of digging out a much larger hole and
putting in all new soil before putting anything else in there.
