This past spring, I bought a floribunda rose named 'Summer Romance'. A $15 rose for $3. It was 1½-2 feet tall. Since that time, it has grown to over 6 feet. It has not bloomed.
Although not the right time, I pruned it drastically in hopes of shocking it into bloom at least once before winter. The canes I cut from the bush were quite long.
Strictly for my own use, I decided to see how many cuttings I could get from the 5-6 canes I removed from the bush. Here's how I did it.

If you are wondering why I would want so many cuttings of this rose, this link says it all ( plus, I don't yet have a picture of my own to show you).
Wow! That's a beautifully shaped rose. Pretty!!

Not only that, it is highly disease resistant and has a heavy fragrance.
