How to Make Bonsai from a Rose Bush 🌱🌹 Mame Bonsai

[@JuanjoBalones1]

Man, you just opened a new world of possibilities for me with the polimer clay. A cheap option to create your own bonsai pots 🤯🤯 THANK YOU I will definetly try, and hope they do well as pots.

[@notionbonsai]

Hey! I'm glad I was able to share! I may have a video coming out soon where I make a few pots! 😁 Let me know how it goes if you make them!

[@BlueSkyBonsai]

Great work Adam! I've never tried rose as bonsai, maybe I should. My wife might get more interested in bonsai then! When you have a tiny pot, you could consider wiring the mesh to the underside of the pot, so you get an extra 1/2 cubic centimetre of soil space. Not always possible, depends on the pot...

[@notionbonsai]

Thanks Dave 🙂 Rose is a fun one to work on and results can be seen really quickly! Thanks for that tip about the mesh! I'll definitely keep that in mind when I do more mame trees 🤗

[@DaphnePotts-mj9fh]

Great idea for a mame bonsai. Your demonstrations are excellent, so clear and lovely to see close up of your hands working the bonsai

[@Dr_Coe]

I love it. I am totally going to bonsai roses cause I love roses. this is so cool.

[@ScottTheExperimentalist]

Thanks for the content! Rosé seems to be such a natural bonsai plant but the are so few videos

[@n8tyler]

I've been thinking about trying roses for a while...Going to give this a try...Thanks for all the great information and inspiration...Thanks...Sequim, WA...

Well Adam heree I am again. I found 2 containers of dwarf rose's at Walmart a total of 8. I clipped the dead blooms and placed them in pots with sphagnum moss like your video. I also fed them and used good potting soil. Instruction says full Sun however afternoon Sun was a bit too harsh. I clipped the branches that were showing signs of stress. Gave them a short time of morning Son then back to my covered porch. Also my last Airlayer finding was heavy calluses at the top of my cuttings. I wish I could send you a picture. I am so excited about this since watching your videos. Maybe I'm not wrapping them tight enough.

[@notionbonsai]

Aw nice!! A calus is good in air layerings! It does that before it sends out roots! Exciting stuff! DM me on Instagram or tag me in a post for me to see your projects!!

[@wyrmbane6771]

Another great video. Just getting into the art. I am very jealous of the fact that you can collect moss locally. I live in a desert, and there is nothing green unless it is painted green!

[@notionbonsai]

Ahh thats annoying! Though I am very jealous of your hot weather that makes trees there grow twice as fast!

[@DobroeUtro-n9m]

Там же цветут пустыни!!! И очень красиво.

[@mandyhernon2238]

My only rose was a bare root a couple of months ago and hasn't come into leaf yet. So great to see yours so healthy. Keep growing.xx

[@notionbonsai]

Hi Mandy! It's normal if they aren't yet in leaf at this time of year! These ones were in leaf as they were grown indoors by the shop I bought them from and were out of whack with the seasons!😅 Thanks very much for watching 😃

[@VoidloniXaarii]

What a great idea, love how it's so cheap and available

[@martang4497]

I enjoy experimenting too. Often ideas don’t work but when they do you can end up with something pretty cool. I’m going to try a similar project to this video with some grocery store azaleas today.

[@notionbonsai]

Ah nice! You should take loads of cuttings! Azalea are really easy to root from cuttings and make nice mame Bonsai!

[@Falcon012287]

Thank you so much for your videos and knowledge! Recently planted some small cuttings of my rose bushes into tiny bonsai pots. Please keep up all the great work you do!

[@checkitoutwithcarmella-t1526]

Thank-you. This was wonderful and so very helpful. I've wanted to create little rose bonsai's forever and now will begin this month and you have helped so very much. Thank-you.

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thanks Carmella!!

[@closer2theheart684]

I had never even considered roses for mame. Now I need to go visit my local nursery tomorrow. Cheers!

[@scotthogbin613]

Ah taking the time time to stop and smell the roses, i love the idea of creating a rose bonsai Adam. I'm going to dig up one i have growing in my front garden tomorrow and give it a go. I like you little polymer clay pot, you did a great job with matching the feet shape anc i really hope the rose survives and grows well in it. Thanks.⚘

[@notionbonsai]

Unfortunately these ones didnt have much of a smell! Good luck with it! How big is the trunk on your one?

[@scotthogbin613]

@@notionbonsai It was a large rose however i pulled it out last year and a small shoot has reemerged so im not sure what I'll find at base. I did remove the whole root system so perhaps its a root that has sent up a new shoot. Small leaf red rose so it will look nice.

[@DesertBloomVines]

I just discovered your channel and I’m hooked. I was recently bit by the bonsai bug but don’t have much knowledge. Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge. 🥰

[@notionbonsai]

Hey! Welcome to the world of Bonsai and the Notion Bonsai youtube channel! Slow and steady and you will learn more and more 🤗

[@irinaonishchenko1868]

Thank you so much Adam! Great video. I am going to try to follow you right now and will make 4 little pots with my miniature rose bushes.

[@shellienatali1326]

Loved the video! I’m going out and give it a try with a miniature rose my husband gave me for St Valentine’s Day!! Also want to try with some cuttings for an old rose “crimson superior”

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thanks 😊 Roses root very easily from cuttings! Keep them nice and humid and out of direct sunlight when you are rooting the cuttings so the leaves don't shrivel up!!

[@almac2598]

If you can get hold of a Rosa Si its a real miniature, buds the size of match heads with very small leaves as well. My last one died in the really bad winter a few years ago and I have yet to find another UK supplier after the nursery I got it from closed.

[@ArkansasBikernet]

Well...your video today inspired me. I really didn't think too much of a rose bonsai, but after seeing your video I headed out to my local Lowe's store. They had a large display of the rose bush trunk chops (roots were wrapped in plastic). After looking at all the varieties, I noticed that they also had honeysuckle in the same sort of plastic wrapped root setup, so I got a honeysuckle instead. Anyway...great video Adam. I always enjoy them.

[@notionbonsai]

Hey Wally! Rose is a nice one to work on! Ohh nice! Is it the Lonicera Honeysuckle?

[@ArkansasBikernet]

@@notionbonsai Yes… you should try one of those sometime.

[@notionbonsai]

@@ArkansasBikernet I have 2 ill be working on in summer :D

[@notionbonsai]

Hopefully they will! If they are fed and cared for they should bloom 🌻

[@barbararandell6774]

I just LOVE your rose mame!! A question a question about your moss. PLEASE share with me how I can grow moss like that. In a hot humid coastal environment of New South Wales Australia. It always let's me down.

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thank you! You want to provide a shaded, moist area with good air circulation. Keep the soil slightly acidic and consistently moist, watering regularly. With these conditions, you can promote moss growth for your bonsai or garden. If you collect some of this moss too, then blend it up into a paste, dilute it down with some water, you will have moss spores you can water ontop of the pot to have it grow there naturally over time!

[@jeffersonmiranda7452]

Is it still alive ?

[@bubbleofdreams1166]

Yeah

[@dahlmasen3084]

Huh! Never thought that a rose could be a bonsai🤯 I have a rose in a pot that I think that I will be trying this on!

[@notionbonsai]

If it is a large leaf rose, consider using a deeper pot!

[@dahlmasen3084]

@@notionbonsai It has small leaves but I put it in a deeper pot anyway because I didn’t have anything else😁

[@notionbonsai]

@@dahlmasen3084 Great! Big leaf roses dont like shallow containers I found. Though the smaller leaf ones like the one I used are okay

[@PriyeshPatel85]

Great video, I have a couple of indoor rose bushes that I want to try and bonsai. Is now a good time to repot? Thanks

[@notionbonsai]

Roses dont mind being repot at this time, although the best and most optimal time to repot is Spring 😀 🌳

[@williammallender8391]

very interesting - I started working on some of my indoor trees yesterday but, as it's snowing outside, I've got to wait to get onto the major repotting work of the year.

Can you use normal bonsai pots or are they supposed to be small pots

[@Ad_DOOM]

hows your rose doing? mines growing well but no signs of flowering

[@notionbonsai]

They're growing well! Just leaves here too, no flowers yet! Might take a year depenging on how hard they were pruned. 🙂

[@sivanagarajah913]

Beautiful mame tree. Did it survive?

[@notionbonsai]

It did! 🙂 Aftercare is most important! It's good to keep them in a shaded, humid environment whilst they establish more roots in the pot.

[@rockys7726]

So if it's in a smaller pot it will require more maintenance such as watering more often?

[@notionbonsai]

Yes for sure!

[@BeckyBledsoe-qj1rn]

Love roses but how did you deal with the thorns?

[@notionbonsai]

@@notionbonsai I only have 2 currently. 1 is actually just an indoor rose that grows on a window sill. The other is grown outside. They are the same age, but the one grown outside thrived much better. Go figure.🤣🤣

[@wallygrandpa]

I would spend a lot of money on messed up soft pots if I'd use them. I always use harder plastic pots or stone pots.

[@notionbonsai]

I now know this! The soft ones are only really good for seeds in training, i find they lose their shape when handling them!

[@Fanroghscorner]

For the roots is there something you can do to make it look like it has grown over something?

[@notionbonsai]

Yeah! That is known as "root over rock" Bonsai. I'll have a video on that coming out in the future! 🤗

[@Fanroghscorner]

@@notionbonsai ok looking forward to that 😊

[@vinaykumarchoudhary6357]

Then we can even use tea cups as bonsai pots

[@notionbonsai]

Of course! I've seen this done before and it can be really beautiful 🤗
