ROSE BREEDERS' ASSOCIATION
The
following articles will provide assistance in growing
roses from cuttings and budding roses, rewarding ways of
creating new plants. Often, many of the roses you see at
Rose Shows are unavailable commercially and can only be
grown through cuttings or "budding".
Articles
Producing Roses from Cuttings by Kelvin Trimper,
President, Rose Society of South Australia. Kelvin talks
about the timing, preparing and growing of cuttings to
produce free new plants.
Budding Hints for Beginners
by PB Edwards, 1964. Reprinted from The Australian
Rose Annual. A step-by-step guide to budding onto
rootstock.
Root Grafting
By Dao Mai, Sydney. A novel approach to

Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) - How does is impact your
personal propagating?
PBR is a form of patent protection that grants the rose
breeder control of the propagating material (including
seed, cuttings, divisions, tissue culture) and harvested
material (cut flowers, fruit, foliage) of a new variety
for twenty (20) years.
Please note that you cannot propagate via cuttings,
budding etc.. a rose that has been granted PBR and then
give it or sell it to another person. Out of
respect for hybridizers who spend years creating
wonderful new roses, we would suggest that no
propagating should be done of PBR plants by the methods
described on this page. However, as seed and pollen
parents for hybridizing future roses, they are an
essential element.
From a legal perspective regarding the reproducing roses
for your own personal use:
"There are exceptions to the extent of the monopoly
offered by PBR.
For example, it does not prevent others using your
variety for:
• private and non-commercial purposes;
• experimental purposes; or
• breeding other plant varieties."
