2021 Rose of Sharon Update 🎙 Broadway Gardener

The requests for an update on my Rose of Sharon "Experiment" have been POURING in, and I'm here to oblige. I'm so happy to see so much interest in Propagating and Transplanting Rose of Sharon.
It was all a new experience for me, and I'm happy to share what I've learned.

This 2 part video was excellent! Your personality is also. I am sorry about those grumpy style people who have no manners. ❤

[@BroadwayGardener]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@dazzlinginthekitchen5742]

Hey! Not sure if you already know this but Rose of Sharon easily seed on there own. If you look at the bottom of your shrub or anywhere in its vicinity, you may see PLENTY of little seedlings all around. Some may consider them invasive but I just pull or weed wack the seedlings from my beautiful hibiscus, but if I want to share a plant I just dig one up from right below the shrub and stick it in a small pot and pass it on. This is also how I was able to get a couple of lavender plants from my grandmothers garden. She just lets hers grow wild as she is near a wooded area.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Oh yes! They like to seed themselves all over if I don't cut them back fast enough lol. Since I had far too much time on my hands, I was just curious to see if they were easily water propagated as well. Considering I do most all of my plant propagation with that method

[@ethelrizarri2614]

Hi! You just pop up while listening to this video .. and you are absolutely right because i just found some around 5 plants in my lavender flower rose of Sharon , so then i can dig them up and place a little planters propagating them i just wander if it will plant them straight to the grown today is July 23,2023 can it survive in winter?? Because by the end of august it is already cold

[@JesusIsLoveTR]

@@ethelrizarri2614 yes you should have plenty of time for them to get rooted before the ground freezes.

[@totallydomestic433]

Now they are making them sterile. I am so sad about that. The seeds don’t germinate & i have not been successful with rooting stems in water either. These are from Proven Winners & they act like sterile is a good thing. I want mine to reproduce.

[@joannapeterson7591]

I do water propagation and by far the easiest. I do Coleus. Never have to buy them every year. I live in North Central Arkansas. I do this when season is over. I have 22 jars already with alot of roots. I am trying the rose of Sharon 1st time roots are 1 to 2 inches long. So I'd like to know if I could put them in soil now? Be for I go, I have windows on south side (laundry rm) another in my Ceder rm, I have plenty of light in both rooms. So do you think I can plant them in soil now? That's on the Coleus, & Rose of Sharon. I don't have Direct sun on any of them. I Love your page, hope you can help. Thks again.

[@valerieiglar-mobley4894]

Thank you for the video and update! I had success with clear vases and water too. But I must say you’re the only poster who explored these methods that I could find!

[@BroadwayGardener]

Glad I could help! ☺

[@lpaltageek]

I am 84 and couldn't sleep, thus your video. My new-to-me house four plus years ago and I am finally ready to try some gardening. I have Rows of Sharon surrounding my house and I want to share cuttings in a seed swap group. I am too sleepy to go back and see if you mentioned the best time to take cuttings, will watch again tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to share. I would send picture but don't think I can in comments. Lucie

[@hollyfisher2856]

I'm so glad you made this update, makes me hopeful about my own Rose of Sharon.

[@MrSoldierperson]

I have Rose of Sharon. I find propagation is unnecessary with Rose of Sharon. I have dozens upon dozens of baby Rose of Sharon growing all around the garden because the Seeds just go everywhere. I pulled these out and they have tons of roots on them. I took three rooted stems And braided them together. I have them held together by a rubber band gently. This is how I saw them at the store. I said to myself, I can do that too for free.

[@BroadwayGardener]

I’m sure it looks super cool Braided!!! Almost like a very large bonsai

[@tawncaputo686]

It's helpful if you want more plants, especially if you want a lot of them,, in a new specific location.

[@ceciliashevlin1152]

I don’t get any seedlings from my Rose of Sharon, maybe depends where you are. I wonder if they are considered invasive in your area? Weird! My guess is you are in a humid area.

[@Alluvial.]

@@ceciliashevlin1152 I’m seeing that there’s actually 2 different version types. Original (old) types sound like they have viable seeds, and so baby plants erupt all around the original parent plant- in such big numbers that it can be a chore to keep weeding them out. Then the newer types have been bred to not do that (maybe sterile seeds?) and they never create live offspring. (Both types can reproduce via cuttings.)

[@docfuzzpersonalcollection5927]

Just love your channel! I have had to resolve in my head...Rose of Sharon vs. Rose of Shannon...in my 80 years on earth I had always thought 'Shannon' was "the rule", but thanks to my source ( Wikipedia ..surely official 🤣), check this out...Introduced in Australia by Treloar Roses in 1966 as 'Shannon'. Introduced in Ireland by Samuel McGredy and Son, Nurserymen (Ireland) in 1966 as 'Shannon'. Introduced in New Zealand by Avenue Roses/Avenue Nurseries (Levin) Ltd. in 1966 as 'Shannon'. Just goes to show you (me actually ), ya never 2 old 2 learn 😎

[@britneywilliams537]

❤❤thanks!! I just did a quick google search, found the first video and am here for the update! Love the advice 🖤

[@memberson]

Just a suggestion if you use that routine ball got to put a little bit of sphagnum peat moss and wedding it works better because the plants still connected to the mother plant until the roots develop you don't lose as many cuttings I tried it over and over again using soil doesn't work for me sand and compost Vicks also works well but you must cover the entire tray with a clear plastic bag so that it could keep humidity in the area of the plants.

[@carriecolebrantley9835]

Thank you so much for this! (Also, I’m sorry people were rude about the update!) I just visited my 90-year-old grandmother who helped raise me, and took a Rose Of Sharon cutting from her garden back to my home 2,300 miles away. She is the most loving human on the planet, and I cannot overstate how meaningful it will be to me if this rooting is successful. Thanks for guiding me through the process! ❤ I’m eager to watch more of your videos.

[@ellenschneider7264]

You are delightful! Thanks!

[@ceciliashevlin1152]

So sorry you had to deal with grumps! I loved your video and think your personality is fabulous! Although, somehow I missed how the cuttings did that you stuck in the ground. I take cuttings all the time and normally stick them in a nearby pot that has soil in it. I get about 40 to 50% success rate. I don’t follow any rules when it comes to starting cuttings from my own plants, I love experimenting!😅 The large tree you transplanted looks fabulous! Best of luck!

[@valkyriesardo278]

Thank you. I am in need of an inexpensive privacy hedge. The lots in my suburb are only 50 feet wide. My back door is at ground level, but both next door neighbors have a raised back door with a raised exterior deck. I do have a 6 foot privacy fence around my yard, but both neighbors have a clear view of my entire back garden from their deck. One of the neighbors is hostile. She will sit on her deck and stare at me in silence. Sometimes she will cuss at me. Sometimes she pickets the fence and peers at me from between the wooden slats. She throws bottled water and trash into my garden when she thinks I can't see her. I try not to provoke her for fear she might take it into her head to throw poisoned food that will kill my dogs. One cannot reason with a mental case. I've seen a lot of very happy Rose of Sharon growing in my town. So for a privacy hedge I'm looking at the White Pillar variety (Zones 5-9, sun, 16' tall x 3' wide at maturity). A 3 foot diameter is dandy for a hedge but I will need at least a dozen that dimension to block her view. Even at 15 per nursery plant that quantity is more than fixed income can afford. Propagation and patience seems the best way to go. I have patience and you have given me the courage to try the propagation. I think if I buy only one nursery plant, I can take a good many cuttings. I read that White Pillar can put on a few feet of height every year. Any advice on spacing from the fence and spacing between the plants?

[@giverny28]

Thanks so much for this update! I started a bunch of ROS from some seeds I recieved at a seed swap. It took years to see success which is generally my most successful gardening strategy. (I get excited. Start a bunch of seeds. A lot don't make it so I throw the old soil into the garden come July when I'm over watering soil trays vs seed trays. 😆 Then like a miracle, the next spring, I have these "volunteers" spring up) That was the story of my ROS. On year 4, I have these gorgeous shrubs that I'm thinking I want more of. But, I'd like to try a more successful way. Much like you, I am a NOTORIOUS "lazy" gardener. It isn't that I'm neglectful per say, but i frequently require a time of rest from full on garden obsession. During this times, I forget to pamper things. So this is right up my alley. A method that will forgive me for living a life not consumed by all things gardening. 😆 Set & (sort of) forget it! Thanks for the video. Can't wait till fall. My window sills will be littered with jars!

[@BellyLaugher]

Wonderfully helpful set of videos & I so enjoy your style & down2earth inclusions of the idiosyncratic self-tendencies you've noticed have hindered progress, eg forgetting to H2o cuttings-in-soil; losing plant-watering drive mid-winter; & (4-me) especially forgetting which plant is which in process of doing a project🤪➡great modeling re: set it up for success by doing processes that match your quirks. I & very much appreciate/love that you took the extra time to include what you noticed during editing, the info re: woody part & showing us how well the transplant is doing--what a lot of gifts❣

[@BroadwayGardener]

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate you watching and supporting my journey. There is a 2023 update out now kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4mrpKB_hZuhfdU

[@patdyer5038]

Loved Your Video ! I have tripple blossom Rose of Sharon ... very, very old ... at least 40 years old ! I will try all methods since I would love to share them with friends and family ! Have a wonderful day and THANK YOU !!!❤

[@CPeetG]

My aunt gave me a rose of sharon stem clipping 9 years ago. She now stands about 12 feet tall and performs beautiful gorgeous purple blooms year after year. 🌸 I plan to propagate her tomorrow! I want 7 more going down the left side of my front yard.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Amazing! I can't believe i ever thought so poorly of this plant! I love their blooms! Sooo beautiful!!! Though i could do without all the flying seedlings 🤣

[@kellysorvino5485]

Awesome work

[@TexasBluebonnets22]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@sharonwilliams390]

So glad the transplant is doing so well!

[@helenaragon6539]

I'm glad hear that you didn't kill your giant rose of sharon that you transplanted< great Job!

[@BroadwayGardener]

So am I!! Especially since it's my favorite variety out of all of them here.

[@glenncordova4027]

Cool. I have wanted to propagate my rose of Sharon and you have given me confidence i can do it. I have one growing in my garden and almost weekly, my nextdoor neighbor says she wants to grow one in her yard. If i am successful i will share.

[@BroadwayGardener]

You can do it! And yes please!! Definitely let me know how your trial goes

[@Plant_Mama]

Wow look at those roots, that’s awesome!! Super helpful info

[@JulesUS8386]

Oh WOW I’m so thrilled yours survived!! I’m going to get my cuttings after I get my soil and root hormone. Congratulations! You have a green thumb…I hope I do👍❤

[@tonysilva3429]

Thanks for the great videos… and the updates.

[@alicesmith6750]

Broadway Gardener, thanks for this video, it's a new type of shrub I recently bought in the dormant stage. I'm in Cameron, N.C so I was excited to see your channel and subscribed.

[@k1mx2y]

Your plant in the background of this video looks like it may need some water, getting droopy. Thank you for the update, I will try and do this with my plant also. I didn't have it in the right place, it likes full sun, and so for 3 years it did almost nothing and stayed the same as when I had received it in the mail. All of a sudden, this year in full sun inside the house it has grown 2 feet taller and been putting out a ton of flowers. I was worried after that if it wouldn't grow in three years that it was a delicate plant that wouldn't propagate in water.

[@cyndimarie2333]

Thank you for the info…I just found this on a search of how to take cuttings from a Rose of Sharon. Love your channel! ❤

[@BroadwayGardener]

Thank you so much!!! ☺️

[@goofyforjesus]

You are super cute! About to try a few clippings from my rose of sharons. Thanks for the advice.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Thank you so much! ☺️ I hope your clippings grow well

[@tish2778]

Well done. Thank you for sharing both your thought process and analysis. Was planning on pruning down my transplanted ROS to add more in my garden and was wondering about the same three methods. You have saved me so much time and disappointment. Bless you.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Glad it was helpful! I hope your rose of sharon project goes well!

[@PapierMoonStudio]

it's all trial and error, thanks for posting the progress. 💕

[@rosanamonti5233]

Thank you so much for this great info!

[@ES-is7rx]

Thank you I Will try to grow it from cuttings.

[@marcomendoza7502]

Great job!

[@Sellers707]

That was a cool experiment. Thanks for sharing this video. Have a blessed day

[@KharessCares]

I also love to try different methods of propagation to see which one works really well. Nice update

[@fortheearth]

Nice experiment! Thanks for sharing.

[@IleniaEllwood]

Thanks you I am going to try to root them

[@SnackAttack77]

Glad I'm seeing this 2 years later so I didn't have to wait for the update 🤣🤣 great vids!

[@BroadwayGardener]

🤣🤣🤣

[@HomeCentsWithNell]

Very helpful video. Thanks for the update👌🏾

[@homesteadingwithsadie]

awesome never tried to do rose cuttings,

[@gardenstory6486]

Very attractive and informative. Subscribed your channel.

[@totallydomestic433]

That is fantastic! Gives me hope I can propagate my sterile Rose of Sharon.

[@snappysue2947]

Thank you .. The rooting hormone products never worked for me ...

[@denisek3771]

Did I miss the results of the cuttings that were placed directly into the ground? Maybe I made that up…. Anyway, my sweet neighbor gave me two cuttings 2 years again and I put them directly into my harm den not expecting much and now I have a gorgeous, pretty mature and very healthy white rose of Sharon tree. I love it. Subscribing!

[@BellyLaugher]

I misread that part in title, too🤪, but➡it's 'directly into the Soil.'..so then can see how to use soil + those hormones to stimulate root growth. I was looking for/can't find a video for how to plant ones water-rooted cuttings directly into the ground & thought this would be it➡then realized my mistake. If you know of any or found info, pls let me know🤗. If I find one, I'll let you know. In meantime, I enjoyed this video & this woman's friendly/down2earth instruction-style, so going to see if her ROS transplant vid might inadvertently give me the how-2 I need. Really don't want this only surviving cutting to perish❣

[@VivianneBichly]

i tried to grow rose of sharon from seed and one made it a year. the rest all died a thirsty death 😂 love your videos. im sorry people were rude

[@petewilhelmsen989]

Love the info. What about the seed pods/buds. I shter any way to root them? I have several mature plants around the property and want lots more.

[@dorothylantz9484]

Lol, pay no attention to them bc they can find it on other sites. But i have some rose of sharon in prop right now!! Hoping they work.

[@titamr5]

I transplanted a rose of Sharon yesterday. Thanks to your video. How often do I have to water it? The plant was already here when we bought the house

[@BroadwayGardener]

Oh yayyy!!!! We have a really rainy spring here so I watered it in well the first time and then Mother Nature did the rest. I would suggest using a moisture meter if you’re a little nervous about water intake

[@julienaturegrowerstv1958]

Nice project, well explained 😊👍

[@nancygore8149]

Impressive!!!😊

[@maureenmcpherson1752]

How did the cuttings do that you planted directly in the ground?

[@KyleLesmeister]

How are they looking now?

[@nanaslife7801]

What time of year will you plant these in the ground?

[@cynthiabrown2243]

what happened to the stick?

[@CocoNaty]

Hey from Florida! What kind of soil do you have outside? I have clay and had two super healthy rose of sharon that I bought, and within a few months of our ridiculous amount of rain they just got root rot and died. I was pretty devastated. However, fast forward one year later my mother-in-law is growing the blue chiffon, which is what I wanted so I took some cuttings. I actually made 16 cuttings! I really want this to work. I don’t think there’s anywhere in my yard that doesn’t have clay after a couple of inches so as I don’t really want to put it in a pot long-term, I’m wondering if I can make some kind of a raised bed thing and keep it in good soil until it’s well-established. But I was curious to know what kind of soil you grew them in. I know they like well drained soil.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Hey there! My soil is super hard clay with TONS of rocks. Not the best lol, but we're working on it. Maybe you can make them a little raised bed or add soil/compost to plant them higher up and they naturally get accustom to the clay, while the compost works to start a better nutritious mix. Just a thought 🤷🏾‍♀️ You can also save some seeds when they make seed pods in fall just incase of an emergency

[@CocoNaty]

@@BroadwayGardener wow! But you made it work. That’s great! Gives me hope. :-) I’m going to try the raised bed thing for them. Thanks!

[@terricrawford993]

Do you have any suggestions on what you can use on your rows of Sharon for the Beatles that are eating mine up without killing bees? Because it seems like almost anything that you're going to put on there to kill the Beatles that are killing the rose of Sharon. You're going to kill the bees too??????HELP

[@wandawilson6266]

Question. I grew a rose of sharon by seed. An its about 3 or 4 inches now. But its just one stem. So i was wondering if i were to pinch it will it fill out?.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Yes. Pinching where you want it to branch out is a good idea. Are you hoping for it to grow as a multi stem shrub or more like a tree?

[@aovoonthefarmsouthernillinois]

Nice video.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@Elizabethpacheco-u6p]

🌺 (Purple and pink and white Pillar Rose ) 🌺 I have all three colored ones in the side of my yard absolutely love them and so does the butterflies and the bees . 🌺😍🦋🐝😍🌺 I just found out that it is completely edible not only for humans but also animals . 😋 It has many medical and health benefits . 🤔 From the flower to the seed pods as well as the leaves and the routes and even the bark on it . 🌺🤔🌺 You can dry the flowers and use it as tea ) 🌺 ☕🍵🌺 You can add the flowers to cookies or cupcakes or other meals because they are fully edible . 🌺😋🌺 You can eat the young leaves in soups and stir fries as well you can make a paste out of the leaves with distilled water and use it on burns and wounds and for other skin problems . 🌺🤔 It has vitamin c and it helps your immune system . 🙂 It helps with high blood pressure .🙂 It helps with diabetes as well. 🙂 It helps with urine tract infections . 🤔 It helps with inflammation. 🙂 It helps with the common cold. 🤔 It helps with sore throats . 🤔 You can look this up in KZbin or online for better information . 🌺🤔🙂🤔🌺 This plant goes for around $25 to over $100 per tree . But if you have one it will reseed automatically by itself in the spring you will see many new baby trees of Purple and white and pink Pillar Rose depending on the color of your tree. 🤔 You honestly do not need to use the branches to make copies of this wonderful rose plant . 😮🤔😮 It produces thousands of seeds which easily sprouts really quickly and grows fast 😍🌺😍🌺 It is better to let it grow naturally through the seeds that it produces nationally by itself. 🌺🙂🌺 And many times using the method of cuttings a branch to your 🌺 Pillar Rose 🌺to make a copy of itself doesn't work very well . 🤔 In full 🍁 or early winter ❄️ you can pick the seeds and dry them completely and place the seeds in a glass jar and replant it for next year in the location you wish to grow a tree . 🌺🙂🌺 You will see dozens of new baby plants by spring from the dropped seeds from the seed pods . 🌺😍🌺 Thank you for your opinion and thank you for the advice.

[@gaillee436]

My milk jug method worked best for me. Stalks look more like hairy little creatures I'm bout to plant ty😅

[@BroadwayGardener]

That's great! You know you're doing great when you get to the "hairy little creature" stage 🤣

[@kimjackson1230]

Where did you cut or break off the cutting

[@BroadwayGardener]

I always like to cut my shrubs in the direction they'll grow. So leave the last bud on your shrub facing the outer direction you'd like it to grow, and cut about that bud. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for the question. I'd love to make a more detailed video on cutting. 🥰

[@SundayBackyardFarmer]

Nice 👍🏾

[@OCDishChick]

1st. Come through roots!

[@joyceyee8675]

So sad that people are so out of control that they present themselves as their worst selves. All I can think is that they should cut gluten from their diets,...it is affectingtheir mental health. The other thing is that hurt people hurt people. Don't give them the power to hurt your feelings. It's their problem, not yours. Stay strong against evil hearts.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Thank you so much! For the most part people are great! But you always get a few weird energies pop up 😂

[@joybrickman8552]

I enjoyed your video very much and subscribed to your channel. I have had great success just sticking cuttings into pots outside, sometimes using larger cuttings to prop up some annual, they rooted very easily and bloomed the next year. I meant to root more this summer but we were in a drought and I got smacked down with Covid. In SC, so I am going to try anyway even though it is early October. Going to try your water method. Thanks for the video.

[@BroadwayGardener]

Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and having success rooting your own cuttings! ☺️ Thank you so very much for subscribing!
