Thank you for this gift can’t ever have too many roses can we … stay blessed

[@DJSupaflyguy]

Whenever there’s roses bought once the flower is spent I use them as cuttings, trim them down melt candle wax to seal top cut to keep in moisture then stick into soil in a pot water 💦 an cover with a plastic bottle an within a few weeks there rooting! 🫡👌👌👌👌 Not all will take but 50% or more will grow. Any that start rotting take out but not if bottom half still has new leaves just trim rot and seal with wax again!

In Bosnia, people do this all the time and the fact is that everyone has at least one rose in their garden, we call garden 'avlija', such a beautiful word, isn't it? In autumn or early spring, people just stick the cuttings outside in a hole and they add a little natural manure to regular soil and it works every time.

They do in Andalucia too👍💖

Thank you for sharing tricks of the trade - excellent clear video to the points where to cut. ❤❤❤

[@ItsNotYouItsMeMedia]

Exactly! Some other videos don't show the details.

[@QualityGardener]

Great video, you can tell he is experienced with rooting plants. I find myself placing cuttings alongside the pot too just like that when I have a large amount of cuttings.

Thank you!! Want to grow roses and this is amazing

[@sunnygardener9261]

such a sweet explanation of a seemingly tricky process. It's almost All Souls Day here in Virginia, zone 7, USA. How would I vary that process?

I always thought you had to graft cuttings. Trying this.

[@bampidraws]

What is the best compost to use for rose cuttings please?

[@ThatMan-h3q]

Normal potting mix

[@bampidraws]

@@ThatMan-h3q Thx 😊

[@janetadams3443]

You can get special rose compost but also ordinary compost with added bananas for the phosphorus. Also well rotted chicken manure.

[@bampidraws]

@@janetadams3443 Thank you 😊 🙏

All very well Alan but: (1) How do you know the stems have "taken" and are developing roots - one month, two moths, six months? And: (2) How do you know the stems are alive and kicking? New buds and leaves? I am in the Western Province, South Africa. We have the perfect climate for growing anything (and annuals in England, like geranium are perennials here). I am trying out your technique in our Spring 2024 and will keep the stems watered, look after them and would hope to see results......when?

[@AmberORand]

You can give them a little tug after about a month. If they slide right out of the soil, they haven’t rooted and need more time. If there is some resistance, they are rooting.

[@gangasok9441]

Do some rose bushes taken from cuttings, maybe some modern varieties have weak root systems as they are not grafted onto a vigorous root stock like the 'mother' plant?

[@lonesomeStu]

Yes, I took some cuttings like this (from an old 1960's rose). In 12 years the cuttings have grown to about 3 feet high, the original mother plant with grafted root stock is 7 feet high.
