[Grovenet] Fwd: rose cuttings

[Alan L Domenghini]

Tom...
It is quite simple to transport rose outings, as I do it all the time.
I send cuttings to my family and friends in calif all the time.
First read the url I sent about rose cuttings.
I always use Press'n Seal made by Glad™ 
and wrap each rose individually with a little water to keep the moist.
Then I'll put however many I have to send in a Zip Lock bag, and into a
3 day mailer box from the Post Office. I have NEVER had any problems at
all doing it like this  for many years. In fact yopu might want to do it
this way instead of trying to take it on a plane, for it would stop a
lot of questions.

Dear Hoss and grovenet rose growers, 
A while back I visited the house that my Grandfather owned many years
ago. In the garden are a few rose bushes that he planted from cuttings.
I don't know much about them but I do know he called them his "Bottle
babies." I'm told he used small jars or something similar to create a
more friendly climate for them. I did not know that you can grow roses
from cuttings. Next week I am going to be in that town and the current
home owner (who bought the house from my Grandfather) has invited me to
take cuttings if I wish. So getting to the point, How difficult would it
be to for me to take cuttings, Fly home from Salt Lake City with them,
and do something here to grow them into rose bushes? Is this feasible
for someone who is not a master gardener? 
Any advise would be welcomed
Tom Alexander
