Ann... I have one of the double Confederate rose in pink. It starts pink and turns a darker pink. Very pretty. I am not good at cuttings either. The gal that gave me mine years ago always takes cuttings in the fall and puts them in a large jar or pail full of water. She places them in a cool, dim area and ignores them. Only checks occasionally to make sure the water hasn't evaporated. They will sprout roots and tiny leaves. When they start rooting, she moves them to a moist potting soil so the roots will get stronger before planting in ground. I love them. It would take very little effort to try rooting in this manner. You might well be successful. Mine is 8 - 10 feet tall and for some reason rarely makes seed.
