If you took a cutting from a miniature rose and propagated it, the new rose would be a clone of the original plant. The only way you can change the plant characteristics is to use the rose to breed a new plant by crossing it with another rose to add new genes to the mix.

I've heard about rose plants grafted to a root of a different plant, and thought maybe that's where the miniatures came from. If that was it and I took a cutting, then it would be a clone of the plant as it was before getting put on a new root, wouldn't it? But anyway it sounds like they're on their own root. I was just curious, wondering how it works. And for your help.
