This is the size cutting that works most often for me. Notice that the "cutting" was "slipped" off of the plant, meaning torn off gently, rather than cut. This same kind of cutting can be removed using secateurs. Notice also that there are enough bud eyes to place 3 under the soil, 3 above the soil.
One of the beautiful things about this rose is the long rather drooping leaves of a slightly olive green color that compliments the rose perfectly. One of my very favorites. Very healthy foliage with no spraying in San Antonio, Texas. June 2010
