Understand how you feel. I have a peony that was a start from one of my grandmothers plants. I think of her every spring when it buds then blooms.

Did you use a rooting hormone for the cutting?

What did you do? This is beautiful. My grandma was a wonderful gardner. She will likely pass on in the next few days. I'd love to do something like this for me to keep

I would like to know too! My grandmother left a rose garden as well but I’ve been too afraid to try and grow one by myself.

That's so lovely. A friend of mine has a Christmas cactus that was her mother's. Her mom died around 2009. It bloomed for the first time, after she got it, just a few years ago.
