Take the possibility of rainfall and flash flooding seriously when hiking the canyons of Northern Arizona. It is a good idea before you hike to study maps to identify possible escape routes. Be especially careful hiking the Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon, and Glen Canyon regions.
Own-root roses are propagated by rooting stem cuttings of one variety of rose. From the band size pots tyically sold, the plants will put out a few new full-sized canes each year and then reach mature height and width in 2-5 years, depending on the variety.
1 Plant roses where they will receive a minimum of 5 to 6 hours of full sun per day. Roses grown in weak sun may not die at once, but they weaken gradually. Give them plenty of organic matter when planting and donât crowd them.  Wear sturdy gloves to protect your hands from prickly thorns.
