Oh you know you love that rose bush! It's just being a rascal. I took some cuttings of the few roses I haven't yet killed when I trimmed them up, and put them in a plastic bag with a little soil. Most all of them rooted sitting in the kitchen window. I was really pleased with myself....but realized I didn't want anymore roses...couldn't find anymore who wanted them...and wound up planting them in 4" containers, where they died a slow death from lack of care.
