I started this rose from a cutting last year. It was very easy. I just pushed the dormant stick into the soil in a vegetable raised bed, as a row marker.
I think I pushed them in too deep. The roots emerged from the bottom, and grew downward from there. I dug one out last fall and didn't get enough roots, and it died.
This time I tried to dig as deeply as possible, without disturbing the neighboring garlic plant.
I think I got enough roots. Also, it's barely Spring yet, so it shouldn't get too much sun yet, until it settles in. I did give it about 1/3 cup of organic vegetable fertilizer.
It was frosted in the last freeze. New growth has started. I pruned about one foot from the floppy growth. Fingers crossed. I'll be watching for new growth.
