Good morning Katie,

I have several very old roses that I like to get catting from, before I discard them. They are very woody branches and only a few of them on each rose. Please tell me how. Thank you very much and have a great day.

Regards,

Yasamine

You need a healthy cane. Size of finger about 12 inches long. Stick 2/3 in ground and keep it watered. Not soggy. Dip tips in rootone if you want to. They start to grow in spring !!!
Hurray! 😎😎😎
Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong.

If you don't have some green branches (grown last summer) on those plants, I'm not sure how good your chances are. Prunings make the best cuttings.

I have grown them as Phillip suggests. I have never used rooting hormone and I put a clear glass canning jar over them to hold in humidity. BUT... Phillip and I both have the same growing background: Zone 8 or 9 in the California Central Valley. I think this method will only work for similar growing conditions.
