Propagating Roses

Propagation of roses by cuttings or budding/grafting is protected by plant patents taken out by the rose hybridizers. A plant patent is good for 20 years, and before you propagate a rose, you should find out if the rose variety has an active patent. Often the plant label will have the patent number written on it. Most hybridizers will give you permission to propagate a rose for your own use, but not for profit. Don't assume - - ask first.
