I've grown roses from very healthy cuttings that have grown into bushes. The mother bushes are very mature and healthy before I collect cuttings. Coffee grounds are excellent to use once the cuttings are established in 5 gallon containers or transplanted into the ground. Be careful not to over water as rose roots are fragile and not deep under ground. They don't like to be muddy at their base. Full Sun for 6 hrs. per day in SoCal. Vit-B-1 treat once in awhile with watering and root hormone on cuttings before planting while soaking in water for at least a 1/2 hr.
The Old Farmer's ÃÛÌÒÁµÈË is a must for all gardeners and I grew up with it in New Jersey before transplanting myself to SoCal. BTW try a bit of dish soap mixed with water in a sprayer bottle to discourage flying bugs and beetles. They don't like soap and it won't hurt your roses. To discourage slugs and snails try crushed egg shells which scratches their bodies. For gopher holes try hot ,hot red pepper powder mixed 50/50 with baking soda. These tips have worked for me. @B~) !
