This is a fragrant rose bush that we started off of a stem we took from a beautiful, large vineyard estate in Glen Ellen, California. We cut a small stem below a 5-leaf bracket, dipped the stem in a starter solution, put the stem in dirt, out of the sun and watered and nurtured it until it sprouted several new leaves. As it grew we moved it into the sun and pruned it back in the winter just like any rose bush. After the second year we transplanted it and it is a four foot bush now. Took about three years to get it that large and we have since started two more bushes off of the original rose bush. When the blooms are spent they turn the color of faded red wine dried in the bottom of a clear glass…
