I've been using this method very successfully since learning it at the very first Denver Rose Society meeting I attended back in 1984. For 15 years prior to that I had been rooting roses primarily by sticking cuttings into the garden soil and placing a canning jar over them. While the canning jar method works quite well, I prefer this method for several reasons, the primary one being that it is easy to see when the cutting has rooted. The method illustrated here is responsible for almost all of the Old Garden roses in my gardens and many of the older miniatures. With it, I've been able to root thousands of roses for myself, friends and for public rose gardens.
My original version of this document can be found in the Rose FAQ. This old document has been used by many people with success. If you came to this page from the Rose FAQ link, then you might want to use this updated version of this method instead.

cnetter - The Trepidation of Pruning by Linda Campbell
Die Angst beim Schneiden
(E?)(L1) http://members.fortunecity.com/cnetter/rose_tour/pruning.html
Each spring we watch the garden. Only the most dedicated understands the wait for the amiable responsiveness of each rose to nature's warmth. With the warmth comes the swelling of buds, red and eager to produce yet another dazzling display of foliage and blooms. This is a sweet occasion for the natural busybody gardener. We know that those skeletons in our gardens are beseeching us to once again come forth, to defy the ravages of weather and to meet the challenges of spring pruning.
No one should fear the craft of pruning. Rumors of how difficult and demanding it is, are Just that - rumors! With sharp shears in hand, taming and training brings the rose to a handsome shape, turning raw materials into a rejuvenated plant of elegant habit. Being amongst the most forgiving of plants, roses have the uncanny ability to endure cutting and sawing, making pruning less of a threat and more of an event of health for the plant. Successful gardeners have learned similar, basic pruning techniques, discovering as they go what tricks and shortcuts work best for them to realize their bounty of bloom.

When planting our bare root roses, we ask that you cover the canes with soil or mulch to protect them after planting. This is not only to protect them from a late frost, it's also to protect them from warm weather which can dehydrate the canes while new feeder roots start growing. It is the most important step of our planting instructions. Following this step will result in faster growth and a healthier plant guaranteed.

Roses arouse passion in gardeners around the world. Each has a favorite. Some are irresitably drawn to large blossoms, others to sweet fragrance. Some love the way roses strew color across the ground, others love how roses launch color into the sky.
We believe that roses deserve to be grown much more than they are today, that good roses are easy to care for - by definition - and that roses really need to break out of beds. They need to grow on trellises, on fences, on walls, in borders, even in spots of the vegetable garden to encourage pollinating insects.
We invite you to hunt for roses that will meet your own exact requirements, and hope that you find RoseFile a useful and enjoyable way to Find The Right Rose.

By the time a rose is watered into the ground, about 90% of the factors that determine its care requirements will have been determined. We will cover these requirements:
Choose a suitable rose
Plant the rose
Mulch the rose
Feed the rose
Water the rose
Spray the rose
Prune the rose
It is my opinion that if the first four steps are done well, the rest of the steps may not need to be done at all.
