"Good link, Margie, but a bit confusing. It says I should add "substances like aged manure, alfalfa meal, fish meal, earthworm castings or guano" to my planting mix, but all of these are already listed as components of the mix I use."

You are right Zuzu it is a bit confusing but I think you clarified it.
Here's my question: what type of soil do I use for propagating rose cutting and transplanting into a container? On Oct. 21, I followed the directions from a website: "Hartwood Roses: How to Root roses From Cuttings". I made up my own soil mixture composed of top soil, Dr. Earth's potting soil, vermiculite, perlite and Bumper's Crop organic soil amendment (everything but the kitchen sink - lol). The cutting is showing new growth now. If it doesn't bite the dust when and what size container do I place the cutting in. And what type of soil mixture do I use.? Because it's winter here in NY, I have it in the basement till Spring. Thanks - Margie
