Yes Terra, It works! I have successfully done this with cut roses my husband bought for me. The success rate was low (one out of six) but the one rose that took is the healthiest rose I have. He just bought be another bunch and I have been looking them over for potentials. Good luck I am so sentimental over that rose. Rhonda

What a pretty sight, the flowers and the view out the window. I think we have the same chairs. I picked a tiny bouquet of violets yesterday. I have them everywhere, even in the grass. Most gardeners hate them but I love them.

Thanks :-) Maude, I have posted tons of OT (Off Topic as in not roses ;-) in the past that are archived. I shot a bunch from the roof, the deck, the mid level and the bottom to show the beds and walkways all the way around. I think you just search boxofrox and it shows you my bzillion and a half posts VBEG inga, coffee and pics.....what a life, eh ??? sunny, I just have a little SD200 point and shoot and great subject matter. Me and my blooms are up close and personal and they just make it so easy to figure out how to compose :-) Jim, momma ate that pup all by herself. We had a row of raspberries there and they croaked so we popped the peppers in and yowsa ;-) I made two more bouquets today to take to an 89 year old for her birthday and a 95 year old just cuz she's kin. The first is for the latter and the second for the former and a couple of new CP's for good measure !!!!!

Thank you Florence, RainForest is a floribunda and that was the one bud the bush was willing to grace me with since I planted it in Sept. but it was worth the wait:) It still has alot of growing to do yet, it's a third of the size to be. I had to transplant it from where I put it initially so it got a later start than the others. The vase is one of my collectibles that I like to put my minis in:) Thanks for your complements that means alot, I love your roses also, mine pale beside. Leslie
