How to Propagate Roses

1.  Prepare a pot with 50% perlite and 50% soil/compost.
2. Find a bud that just finished; deadhead it, and then clip six inches below it.
   
3. Clip off all the leaves except for the top most pair.
4. Clip a diagonal at the bottom of the stem to get the biggest surface area of exposed stem.
5. Dip the stem in the rooting hormone powder.
6. Stick it in the pot and pack the dirt around the stem with your fingers.
7. Mist as often as possible if hot.  Direct sunlight is good; if not, plenty of sunlight.  Wait a couple weeks.
