Can anyone tell me how to propagate a glaucous rose?
In London. Keen but lazy.

Ty dove. The person who gave me the plant many years ago gave me the impression that she had dug it up from close by parent. I wondered if it could have self-seeded or low branches may have rooted themselves
It could have been self-sown - it's a species so it will come true from seed - but cuttings will be quicker.
It could also have grown from a layered shoot or even from a new shoot from the roots. If you cut them hard back they usually throw up new shoots from the base.

Hard wood cuttings are quickest, but as its a species, the seeds are likely to come true. Mine came from seed, as did the one I gave Dove.
And it's got lots of lovely blooms at the moment - thank you Fidget

Will try both. Berries look lovely too - and the leaves!!
