A silly question perhaps, but?

Question

Can I take cuttings from a rose bush with me when I move to Canada from the UK?

The rose bush belonged to my late mother and I'd like to put it on my father's grave in Canada.

Answer 1

No, sorry. You can't even bring soils or fertilizers from country to country let alone plants.

Answer 2

You should inquire with customs in your country.  While you won't be able to simply bring them on the plane with you, there may be a way to have them tested for diseases and shipped to Canada.  It will likely cost a bit and involve some red tape, but it's a noble thing to do so it might be worth it to you.

Answer 3

You can't take plant out of the UK at all, as they sometimes are carrier of diseases.

Answer 4

Here is a link to the Inspection Agency involved.  I am leaning towards you can, but there can be some hassles involved.  Here is a table, and I went and looked under Roses.  Then a big long document is linked from there.  Also contact information to discuss it further.
