if i was to cut my roses and place the cuttings in the garden?

lol good one.

oh you were serious? you need a bulb to get the plant growing...what you could try is to dig up the rosebush from its roots, seperate them in half and replant them in 2 places...however it would be cheaper (from the p.o.v that they both might die) to buy bulbs and wait til next yr

EDIT: they can be sold in bulbs, which are then split and planted. And FYI, you can split the bush, and replant it. you just need to know how.

starting new rose plants from cuttings of a favorite rose is not that simple, or easy... but it can be done if you follow the procedures correctly....mostly it's taking the cuttings at the right time, placing them in the right growing conditions like moisture and warmth, the right soil, small growing pots, with a cover like a mini-greenhouse and waiting until they've rooted and show new growth to get excited about your new roses.... here's a pretty good procedure

there's lots more, too... read a few and compare....pick what will work best for you...

ps... roses don't grow from bulbs and you for sure can't split a plant and have it survive.....

decrease it diagonally (to get maximum exposure of the cambium) basically above a node (the place yet another twig ought to pop out of) - somewhat approximately 2 ft long. decrease the ideal "whispy" bit off so which you will have a stick between 12 & 18 inches long - stick the backside interior the floor (or in a pot) and it might root. there's a load of previous rot approximately grafting onto root shares - yet roses enhance completely nicely on their very own and are undemanding to take cuttings of (rather somewhat later interior the 12 months - November/December time - besides the shown fact that something finished now stands a rather sturdy risk)

Tuff===go to the library, ask at the desk.

If you WERE to cut them, they will die.

Not that simple.
