Another Use for the Humble Potato

 
I found this idea on the Amateur Gardening web site.  If you love to grow roses, here is a great little gardening tip using potatoes for starting your rose cuttings. 
 
 
From the Amature Gardener:
"My allotment neighbour has a row of roses, which he took as cuttings. I asked how he took them. He simply plunges the cuttings into the ground. But his secret of success is the humble potato! Before planting cuttings, he pushes the bottom end into a small potato, which he believes keeps the cuttings moist as they develop roots. It sounds crazy, but his row of allotment roses is proof it works."
