@bluegrassmom I'm so sorry to hear about your seeds!! I have had squirrels in my daylily seedling beds and completely pull out my seedlings. Pesky squirrels.
I've successfully rooted a purple hydrangea, given to me by a friend, the hydrangea was originally rooted from a wedding bouquet.
Also, have successfully rooted grape cuttings.
Would love to try and root roses.
