Rustling Up Some Roses

I read about The Texas Rose Rustlers a while back. I thought it was such a charming idea, to save old roses from extinction. The Texas Rose Rustlers also have some lovely Rose Illustrations and the all important -- Rose Rustling Etiquette. Their purpose, finding and preserving old rose varieties found in cemeteries and communities. You can almost SMELL these old roses, thank you, justourpictures.com. I guess there is some 'rose rustling' going on in California too. Have a burning question about roses, maybe you can find the answer here. Do you think it would really be this easy to propagate roses, a cutting and a mason jar?

And some related links since I am on the subject of flowers and cemeteries, Herbs of the Bible, and Cemetery Plantings, rather interesting and some photos of an old cemetery in Pennsylvania. Enlightening and soothing -- walking among the long departed, old, moss-covered gravestones, reading the dates, and trying to imagine those buried there and the lives they led.
