Just trying to work out how to take rose cuttings and came across this:

He says (at 1:28) something like, "When we went to the nursery, we wanted old-fashioned ones, not anything new that's copyrighted, that we couldn't take cuttings from..."

Can this be correct?

Of course you can. Rose breeders like David Austin protect their rights to their plants and unauthorised propagation is illegal.

Not a lawyer.
Don’t see why not.
A naturally occurring flower - no.
A variety that a horticulturist has spent time with multi-generational cross breeding* - why not?

*breeding sounds like the wrong word, but you know what I mean!

The briefest of Google searches would have told you that it is, and even how to do it...

I know how this works in crafting, clothes making when a fabric has a tm, like that flowery stuff that is all a copy of 1950s fabric anyway

To use in your garden, should be fine.

To sell, hell no.
