We live in our churches parsonage, and there are 12 beautiful rose bushes on each side of the house. Each one beautiful and fragrant. We have just bought a house, and I would like to take some of these roses with me when I move in my new home. Someone told me that I could start a rose bush from the ones around the parsonage by clipping the blooms when the petals are gone, and plant them bloom side down in the soil, and this will grow a rose bush. Is this true, and exactly how would I go about doing it. Thank you for any suggestions.
