We planted six roses this year as a direct result of watching your passion for roses and I have to say we were prepared for the worst but everything has gone excellently! Very little bug damage to the leaves, very few japanese beetles, they weren't even a problem (I flicked them off with my fingers), the roses grew from bareroot plants just fine except for one potted rose which was much further along. Our next big hurdle is making it through the winter!! It gets so cold here. Thanks again for your inspiration and the knowledge you share.

Thanks for letting me know Mic, and happy to hear that things went so smoothly. I'll cross my fingers for you that everything comes through the winter okay.

Thank you! I have a rugosa rose that used to have a companion side-by-side with it.

Thanks Jason. I have not been successful in the past. But, about a mouth ago I was transplanting Azaleas and Hydrangeas. I accidently broke a few branches, so I cut them and stuck them. Hard, semi, and soft sense it would just go to waste if not planted. Now I checked on them today and the leaves are still green and healthy looking, and I think the Azaleas have small new leaves starting near the dirt. So here's hoping with your help, I might finally be successful at this.

[@MrSpookyDave]

Hello! I've recently discovered and have been enjoying your channel. One tip I keep hoping to come across regarding rose propagation is whether you can combine with dead heading or spring pruning. It seems a natural fit to try and propagate when you're already removing plant material, but nobody seems to mention this potentially beneficial double duty. Do you have any thoughts on that? Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks David. It's a matter of timing for me. I prefer semi-hardwood cuttings from fresh new growth - it's just where I've had the most success in cuttings. At the time of early spring pruning, the stems you're taking off are mainly last year's growth (hardwood) or possible extremely fresh shoots (softwood tips). As to the time of deadheading, that's more promising in my opinion, because the firmness of stem just behind the spent flower is pretty close to my perfect stage for propagation. So yes, I'm pretty much going out to the stock field and looking for roses that are just finishing a flush of blooms, and then combine a deadheading with a slightly lower reshaping to give me loads of stems for propagation.

I'd encourage you to give it a try even this late in the season. You have a mild climate and that works in your favor. I'm still taking a few cuttings now - I'll be starting them under lights and on a heat mat to help it along, but even with a simple humidity dome you stand a chance of rooting them before it gets too cold a dreary.

Hi Jason--I did semi-hardwood cuttings using your method and had a great deal of success, but am wondering what I do with the cuttings now and over winter. Any information would help, I am located in coastal Nova Scotia zone 6B. Thanks

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Niels, and congratulations on your success! I overwinter in an unheated greenhouse - if you had a patio or garage (even cool) to shelter the rooted cuttings from the worst of the cold, that would work. If it has to be outside, just pick the most sheltered location you can manage and try to protect the young roots from the worst of the cold (with soil or mulch around the pots, or inside a clear storage bin with some ventilation, but to cut down on the wind)

[@ignaciaforteza7731]

Hello Jason, a very interesting bit of information. I’m a bit tired these days of summer heat. It doesn’t agree with me nor my gardening roses neither. It’s sad to see all the efforts I put into having beautiful delicate roses literally all faint away due to the heat waves we’ve had one after an other. I probably should have been more scrupulously careful when I bought them. Perhaps you can advise names of roses that can tolerate heat waves without dying. Love to watch and learn from you but for now I don’t have the enthusiasm to propagate roses nor seedlings. Thank love.

Hi Jason, if you strip off all the leaves of a rose plant, will it grow new leaves on the same stem? Or will it grow on new shoots? And also does the size of the bloom get affected by the number of leaves on the plant? More leaves equals bigger blooms? Thank you!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Hi Raymund. Yes, all other things equal, the more healthy leaves you have on the plant, the more energy is available for growth and flowering. New leaves will emerge when buds shoot into new stems. It's a part of the stem growth process, so no, it won't regrow on an old stem until/unless the dormant buds begin to shoot.

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank You!

[@lindam9018]

Another great video, not only for roses but propagation in general. One thing I don't understand, is why you remove so much of the leaves and even the growing tips of the cuttings. I know you don't want to put the lower leaves underground (or in water when rooting cuttings in water at home) but don't you need some leaves to gather energy/photosynthesis for the stem and the roots we hope are forming? Also, I would have thought the growing tip was a 'plus', or maybe if it's cut off, it forces the stem to grow in other directions. These might be dumb questions, if so, my apologies!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Linda. Those are not dumb questions at all, but actually at the heart of refining your cutting technique for your own growing conditions. The leaves still contribute (a little) energy, and send hormones down the stem to encourage rooting. So l keep them on, but here's the balance: there's no longer a source for moisture, so unless you keep fairly high humidity, you'll see rapid wilt, scorch and leaf drop. But then high moisture/humidity increases the risk of rot. I've been more successful trying to keep humidity down a bit lower, but to make that work, I can't have excess leaf surface. I also like to pack my cuttings a bit tight (see 13:11 in this video), and if I'd left all of the leaves intact, they'd be pressed up against their neighbors. I should stress that different approaches can work just fine. I've seen the "pop bottle" method, where more leaves were left in place (on larger cuttings) and it worked well. I've heard from some people who preemptively strip all leaves from semi-hardwood cuttings (because they figure most of them will drop off during propagation anyhow). As for softwood tips, I've played around with it and found that the very tenderest of tips can be the very first tissue to wilt and blacken off, so I usually don't bother leaving it on. YMMV

[@lindam9018]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you. So in a nutshell, it prevents the most common problems and allows the energy to focus on making new roots. Thanks for helping me understand.

Hi Jason, very interesting, thanks for the video. I was hoping you could help me with a problem I'm having with tropical hibiscus. I'll take cuttings, use rooting hormone and stick them in potting mix and they will sit there for months not dieing and some will have glossy leaves and look healthy, but when I check them for roots they will only have a callus ball. Any thoughts?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Maybe try some with a lower concentration of rooting hormone (or none at all). Sometimes a higher rate will stall cuttings on the callus step.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'd give it some time and good conditions to get healthy growth before I'd even attempt propagation - it's a much easier process with healthy stems to work with. There's no secret: a good position (sun, soil), consistent watering, moderate N fertilizer to encourage new growth, and then just time.

Hi Emily. Rugosas have distinctive ridges on their foliage - and a quick google image search (for "rosa rugosa foliage") will show you what to look for. Rosa gallica foliage is not nearly so "rugged" and also not so glossy - if equating to paint, you'd say the rugosas might be semi-gloss while gallicas are more like matte. Rugosas are repeat bloomers, and have great big hips with a distinctive shape (again, google image search). Best luck IDing your grandparents' roses.

Hello Jason! Thank you for the very informative video! I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer for online, and really hope that you'll be able to help. Your video gave me the courage to try and propagate my own Shropshire Lad climber rose. I used the winter/slow method and it seems to be a success as there are buds all over the cutting. I wonder what should I do with the cutting in the spring. It's not planted in its final spot in the garden and I wonder if I should just transplant it in the ground to the new location, or it needs to be kept in a pot for a season or two until it gets bigger. I garden in zone 5b. Any information you can give me will be invaluable. Thank you!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Take it slow. The expression of buds doesn't mean that there are sufficient roots in place, and the hardwood method is notoriously slow for root development. If you can manage it, I'd leave them in the same spot for the majority of the first season until they have beefy roots. After that it's a judgement call based on size, but for me it's usually a full year + before I transplant into the garden

The hybrid tea roses sold at a nursery have a root bulb at the base. However the roses that I propagate from cuttings do not. Does the nursery use a different method to propagate hybrid tea roses to have a bulb?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Yes, I think you're talking about the graft union, which is the result of grafting the desired topstock (scion) to an existing rootstock. It's more often used in large-scale propagation, but I've done a couple and home gardeners certainly can succeed with the method too.

Hi Jason, One of my rose stem broke just at the bottom of the air layering ball and I had to cut the stem off. I checked inside the air layering ball and saw callus and two about one and half inches long roots. I potted it up with moist peat moss in a quart size pot. Should I water once a week with very diluted fish fertilizer or not water at all? I kept it under the grow light with a clear zip lock bag just covering the stem and leaves from top. Please advice.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Watering frequency isn't something that can be decided from afar. You'll want to moisten the soil from time to time, and a dilute liquid feed is appropriate if you've already seen roots.

[@sarmishthabanerjee1057]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you so much! I have seen callus around the bottom and only 2 small (about 1 and half inches long) white roots. Should I start diluted liquid feed at this point or wait another 1 or 2 weeks before starting liquid feed?

Any idea where I can get Betty Prior (floribunda). Lots of sites list it, but have none in stock. It's one of my favorite landscape roses, in loose groups of three or five. I'm in Arizona, USA. Thank you.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Hi Robert - sorry, I'm not too plugged in to the local suppliers in the US. I know it's mass produced (because I bought it at Home Depot) but who would stock it on any given year is a different matter.

[@roberteastman1396]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm That's okay. I think I bought several at Home Depot, too, in California. It's funny how some things get pushed somewhere for a time, and that's it!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

On the bright side: *very* easy to root BP from cuttings!

[@roberteastman1396]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I didn't know that. I won't give up on my search (that rose has bitter-sweet memories for me, of my first house, and all that I put into it). Thank you for all you do.

How do we overwinter these cuttings in cold zones? Do we plant them if rooted by Fall or do they need to “cook” longer or will they die overwinter if planted in fall?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

It depends on how far along they are, and what sort of protection you can offer. I usually keep my semi-hardwood cuttings to overwinter in a 9cm/4in pot but I put them onto a bench with backup heat. I've heard from others who move them into a cool-temperature space like a garage to overwinter.

What do you treat your roses with to keep them from getting trashed. Every year I have to prune a ton off of my plants.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Hi Shaine. I get away with very little spraying - and I say "get away with" because I know my local climate really doesn't offer the same challenges as others. A bit of blackspot early and late (when it's moist), and a fair bit of powdery mildew and spider mite damage when it's warm. I do defoliate and prune in response, but don't apply anything other than sulfur (infrequently, because I don't have much patience for spraying). If I were facing chilli thrips or JB, I bet my attitude would change in a hurry.

[@shainemcmillan]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I live in a HOA controlled neighborhood. I'm constantly battling powder mildew and black spot from sprinkler over watering foliage. Then there's the aphids. My wife got me aunt fannies organic spray for aphids and spider mites. Works well but I don't have a solution to mildew and black spot because I have nowhere else to put them. Technically my hoa controls the front yard so I can't make any big changes.

What is the best way to get started Propagating Roses? I have seen so many ways I don't know how to start! What to use , powder or liquid? Thank you

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

This is probably how I would start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfMlKCMprmSl5Y

[@nanaka6028]

Could you recommend rooting hormone that works on semi hard wood cuttings? So much products in market really don't won't to waste my DA cuttings

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Here I used StimRoot #2, but Hormex #3 is more widely available in the US.
