question on rose trees

[jennifersaenzpro35]

VERY silly question but I have to ask...I really want a rose tree in addition to my perennial garden but I do not want to dish out the money for that. Is there any way to start the tree yourself? How do these trees start? I am a beginner gardener for sure so please excuse the lack of knowledge here. Thank you!

If you know someone that has a rose bush that you like that would let you take a cutting from it (totally harmless to the bush), roses are pretty easy to start from cuttings:

Here is a link with information on tree rose (also called standard roses):

Rose trees are roses that have been grafted to a long "root stock" stem like DR Huey. The average rose is grafted down at the base of the stem but a tree is grafted at the top. There is no difference. If you look at a tree at the store you will see a bunch of scars along the trunk of the stem. That is where they removed the bud eyes from the stem. They remove them so no growth can occur along that trunk. If you didnt remove them there would be new growths produced. Then it would be a bush but they want a tree so they remove the bud eyes. If you want to learn about grafting just do a search for it. You can see many video on youtube.com
