I am new to growing roses, but have been reading the forums and other information on the internet about them. I love to propagate various plants and would like to start bud grafting roses. I found a very hardy rose bush on our vacant lot that I am sure is what they call Multiflora (see picture). I would like to know if anyone can tell me the step by step process of taking cuttings from these 15 foot canes and rooting them so I can bud graft various roses on them. Better yet, can you direct me to the information if it is already published somewhere on the net? As you can see from the picture, the Multiflora is covered with rose hips. Is it better to just plant the seed or take cuttings for future bud grafting?
