Growing roses from cuttings

[Peaches]

We’ve just spent a week in the city in an older housing area of the city , and while out walking I couldn’t help but notice how nicely perfumed the stunning roses where in just about everyone’s front gardens .

I looked over a few fences at the structure of the roses and it’s quite oblivious they are many years old .

Next time we are in the city id like to get and try a few cuttings to try growing some …

It’s something I’ve never tried , so hints please , where a cutting should be taken from? ( many of these roses are well and truely hanging over in footpath area )
Hard wood or soft new growth ?
Dip in a hormone powder ?
Just a good quality potting mix , or mix of sand / and potting mix

Remember it’s spring here now , altho you wouldn't know it ..it’s still very cool ..it’s should be up in the mid 20’s C …. but it’s more like 17 c most days~ and Wet ️
it was so windy yesterday , while we was in the main shopping hub of the area I almost got blown over just walking from the car in a open area to a free standing shop ( buildings only ~ on one side of the street )

This was the wind speeds yesterday about the time we was there
.11 30 am: N — 33.5 km/h (Gusts: 59.8 km/h)

Roses are pretty easy, there's a lot different ways that will work. Pick any hormone and follow instructions. Make a cutting like a pencil size or a tad longer. I'd try softwood in early mid summer. Try to cut slightly below a node

You probably have more luck rooting inside under lights, with no mist than trying outside with poor/no misting. Make sure the soil is moist always but not soggy or they'll mold. Recommendations depend on how you water

Make sure the rose is not grafted before taking a cutting. You'll see a union at the base of the plant where two roses were put together. Take cuttings only from own-root roses, and you can have new roses for your garden. Good luck.

Peaches, a mix of equal parts potting mix and perlite or coarse horticultural sand would work well, keeping some moisture around the cuttings while letting excess water drain away.

You can take cuttings from a grafted rose too—choose growth above the graft union from the rose you want, rather than suckers coming from below it. The cutting will grow on its own roots, though its vigour may differ without the original rootstock.

I watch this guy, he does all sorts of cuttings.
