Rose Cuttings in Lahore

[aykhan]

Need some expert opinion from Rosarians on the forum. Lahore these days is having a pretty mild winter. I would like to take rose cuttings (not desi roses). My experience so far is that my own-root roses are performing much better than most grafted ones wth few exceptions. Since I'll be out of town end of Dec to mid of Jan I am wondering:

When is the best time would be to take these cuttings - before I leave ie in another week or 10 days or when I come back ie mid-Jan?

Best soil mixture for cuttings?

Place them in part-sun or shade?

Keep them moist all times or slightly on dry side?

kindly check sir arif's post for cuttings

i think you and sir Arif posted simultaneously regarding rose cutting & i shared my experience with cutting on other post, so just to avoid duplicating i asked u to see the other post

Farhan thanks. I too was surprised there wasn't a post on this topic when I searched. I'm not good at searching I guess I, however, do not recall this post. Let's move the discussion there since partial information that I need is there.
