Sandsock said:Update: Beth your directions are so helpful! I did find that I needed a heat mat, because just the moment I thought we had enough heat it would cool down too much and it was the only way to ensure I had 80f for enough time.

I have rooted about 14 roses and only lost 3...the cinnamon really helps in our cool and humid weather.



Wow that's great!! Unfortunately, I have had to stop trying to root until the temps get down below 90º. Nothing has rooted since the end of May!! It just got too hot and everything I tried to root fried bigtime, even getting misted daily! So next yr... no rooting between mid May and early Sept! We still are having triple digits even now. Ugh!! You'll gave to show some pics when you get a chance! I'm so excited, one of the florist roses, FIESTA, is getting ready to bloom in a few days. I'll have to post a pic when it does!! I just sent off my list of cuttings from UC Davis. Those will arrive mid-Sept!! Fun times ahead! LOL
