Two-year-old rose cuttings . . .

Post by Cereusly »

This is a two-year-old 'American Beauty' rose cutting starting to take-off. There are two of them, and it looks like they're going to do well on their own root stock. They are very fragrant. :) Tony

Didn't I see something on this forum about all roses beging cacti, but not all cacti are roses?

Or maybe that was the peyote... :D

Very nice! I like fragrant roses.

I hate it that the new thing seems to be scentless roses. I see a lot of nice looking rose plants (not sure how they'd do in a big pot on my patio) but none are fragrant. What's the point I wonder of doing that.

What on earth is the point of a rose that doesn't have a scent?

These however, are nice ones!

Nice roses! :)

Unfortunately, the florist industry has caused roses to be selectively bred for looks and longevity, and the scent has been bred out. :(

Myself, I'd rather have roses that smell pretty than look perfect.
