Confederate Rose: The Must-Have Fall Flower for Your Garden

[@DeeLoStuff]

Thank you for the info! I was given a cutting about 1 year ago and I wasn’t sure what I had until today that it flowered. I looked up info online to know the exact care and you’ve been very helpful! Thank you!

[@grassrootsgardening]

I'm so glad to hear that the information was helpful! It's always exciting to see a cutting bloom after all that care. Thanks for watching!

I'm in Nigeria west Africa and I have this doing well in my back yard, it's ability to have multiple colored flowers makes me addicted and I just keep propagating it and having more plants every now and then.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Thanks for sharing! It’s one of my favorite plants

[@RavenNl403]

It's a beautiful rose 😊

[@grassrootsgardening]

It’s beautiful to see coming up the driveway!

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

[@grassrootsgardening]

Go for it, thanks for watching!!

[@sumathivenkateswaran537]

I got a branch of this tree and now I'm waiting for roots to come from it ..😢❤

[@grassrootsgardening]

Roots pretty easily

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

I understand they are easy to root.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Very easy!

[@ALStainGlassGirl]

I just got 4 cuttings that already have a ton of roots. Should I just wait to plant them and leave in water until Spring or can I plant them now? I live in Alabama.

[@grassrootsgardening]

If they have a ton of roots, I think I would go ahead and either plant in the ground or a container. Just be sure to keep the moist until they get established. Good luck!

[@isanyoneoutthere2994]

Do you know if the seeds will be true to this plant?

[@grassrootsgardening]

I’ve not tried, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t

[@kellysorvino5485]

When in 7b zone should I take cuttings to propagate? When can I plant in ground after roots grow?

[@grassrootsgardening]

The sooner the better after they start growing, so they have time to develop lots of roots. As soon as I get root system is developing yes you can plant them in the ground anywhere you like

[@kellysorvino5485]

@@grassrootsgardening spring or summer?

[@RondaLetner]

I take cuttings in the fall before the first freeze, root them in water through the winter, then plant in the spring.

[@MariaLouisaMonarrez]

Good afternoon. Is there anything that you can do to promote more blooms?

[@grassrootsgardening]

Adding fertilizer in early spring and then again in late Summer will help. Also, more sunlight= more blooms

[@williammehling3135]

So it only blooms for a month or so in October?

[@grassrootsgardening]

Maybe a little longer depending on first frost, absolutely stunning when it blooms though!

[@tlo42058]

Ordered my fav bush seeds on way they gave me rosemallow wrong bush lol

[@grassrootsgardening]

Oh no

[@tlo42058]

@grassrootsgardening it was still a pretty hibiscus hybrid summerific I put it in my garden by house. My confederate rose seeds will be here tue I have special spot in yard for them. Since they are bigger 😀

[@grassrootsgardening]
