Well I did it, the flowers are gone but I managed to get 5 sticks off the one piece I cut. Should be a pinky white!
There's a Rosa laevigata(Cooperi) that I can't reach without a ladder☹️.
Visited a friend an got cuttings from a rosa mutabilis.The wood strawberry bushes have been going mad under the cover of neighbor's conifer.
The rose I feared was on its last legs has finally flowered as well. Crazy Fashion, from NIPR.

Oooh nice! Good one!
I am going to try propagating cuttings this year, have to see how it goes.
Can get free begonia from the neighbour, those are super easy to root in water, but roses I've never done.Cut them 30 cm, semi-hard wood, take most leaves off, use rooting powder, ensure the soil drains...OK, but there is an element of luck me thinks :)

I'd image taking cuttings from anything that overhangs on the street is ok? I mean, you are allowed to cut back anything that overhangs in your own garden and don't enter the property/garden.
Not sure what the law is?
I took ox eye daisies, purple toadflax and digitalis plants from cracks in the street though "better to ask for forgiveness.. "
Going to take some cuttings of this one maybe there will be spares for on here in 2 years :)
