So after having attempted to propagate a few roses for the past 2 years with
minimal success. One of the cuttings has sat in a ziplock bag for just under
2 years now. The entire time all it's done is maintain a green stem and
green buds, in a state of not-yet-dead, so it's sat on my dresser the entire
time.

It's nearly winter, half the day my bedroom is cold. So the darn thing
decides it wants to break dormancy and produce a shoot from one of the buds.
Let's see if I can keep the little guy alive in the ziplock bag until
spring.

I don't even know what kind of rose it is either, I just labeled the bag
"lavender."

I did some cutting about 7 weeks ago. I clipped a few from all my
favorites, and filled a wet seedling tray. We had enough rain, I never had
to water it, and ended up with about 10 thick rooted cuttings.

Just to bad the smart kid down the street can't decode DNA strings and

Oh well - one has to live with a rose like that - it might be the best of
the lot!

If it's the rose I think it is, it's a clone of a home-depot bargain bin
rose in my yard. Nice rose, just a really bad graft. I don't think I'd want
a red/white/blue rose, I like my roses just the way they are, not some
designer disposable rose that can be planted when it's fashionable to wave
the flag or tie a ribbon to a lamp post, and neglected when the cause loses
popularity.
