Multiply Your Plants for Free | Rooting Cuttings of Roses: A Plant Propagation Masterclass
In The next video in this plant propagation masterclass series, I'm going to cover the rooting of roses in as much detail as I can so that you can be as successful as possible. We'll cover all the details of rose propagation including time of year, condition of wood (semi-hardwood), how to take the cuttings, rooting hormone used, treating the cuttings with an anti-fungal to eliminate fungus issues and black rotting cuttings, where to place the cuttings while rooting, and how long it will potentially take for them to root. With a little luck, we'll hit the nail on the head and get all of our cuttings to root. Finally, I'll talk about how I will overwinter the rose cuttings once they are fully rooted. So let's get started and learn how to start a rose from a cutting!

Not sure if you know this, but diluted whole milk is an antifungal for plants. It was all my brother ever used for his roses for over 40 years. I have used it for over 25 years. Works fantastic.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I hadn't heard this before. Thanks!

[@rachelpruett5984]

Charlette, this is a really cool tip! I was just going to ask if there’s an organic anti fungal option recommended here. I want. To do everything organically because I’ll be using my roses for medicine and perfume. Is there a dilution recipe you could share ? Thank you kindly ~ Rachel

[@greenmoonacegikmo4781]

Would that still work if the milk was sour and also would yogurt work?

[@jacquelineblanchard3838]

Worth a shot. My grandmother always put a small amount of bleach and powered laundry soap in a bucket of water for her roses. ??? And scrap's when she cleaned fish for fertilizer. They were beautiful. The filter from your fish tank when you clean it works also. On lemon 🍋 too.

[@MsLbriley]

How do you keep the beetles from eating your roses

[@menat5614]

Hi Mike, First let e say that I am a little old Italian woman and I've been growing plants for a long time. That being said, I never had any luck propagating roses until I saw your video. I decided to try last Oct. ( I live about 10 miles outside of Chicago - cold winters). I got my soda bottles, used my rooting hormone and crossed my fingers. It is now Feb 26 and I took this bottles off this morning when I saw rose buds coming out of the bottle opening. Two of them are in bud, one of them has a bloom, (there was so much condensation I didn't see it), the 4th one is a slow grower. I started 5 and I lost only one. So, they've got a few more weeks inside but they are happy and healthy and I wanted to say a big thank you.

[@MikeKincaid79]

That makes me so happy to hear, Mena! Italia! I love it there. I spent 6 months in Aviano, Italy when I was in the US Navy, back in 1998. We stayed in a little town called Pordenone and I fell in love with the old world architecture and the laid back way of life that the locals lived. Everyone was very friendly and engaging. I got to see Venice and Verona (Juliette's tomb). Anyway, it was a wonderful experience with memories that will last a lifetime.

[@myawesomesongz]

When my Grandma was alive; she would take a rose clipping, stick it in the ground, cover it with a 1 gal clear glass container, and kept it watered when it needed it. She would only take the cover off on very hot days. She would completely leave the cover off once she saw new growth. Other than that she didn't do anything special to it (antifungal spray, pruning leaves off or any prep at all, etc.) And they would grow well every time. I was successful at that method 1 time out of the countless times I've tried over the years. After a while I just lost interest in it. After watching your video, I marched right outside and started 2 cuttings. I don't have the growth hormone, so I used honey instead, and covered the cutting with clear gallon water bottles. Thanks to your enthusiasm and knowledge, I have a renewed interest. Keep your fingers crossed for me. 😊🤞

[@MikeKincaid79]

Fingers crossed!

[@pamelabateman9211]

For the lazy gardener - I take several cuttings from a rose and just stick them in the ground next to the mature rose or near a sprinkler head. In six months to a year you may have a few small rose starts growing that you can dig up and move to other places in the garden. Not much work and if it doesn't work you just keep trying. I have hundreds of roses and they were all started from cuttings. Some I started in pots some I just placed in the ground. I am in Northern California so as long as they don't dry out I have very good success with growing roses and all my plants from cuttings. I have had failures but lots of success too!

[@MikeKincaid79]

So cool, Pamela. Love northern Cali!

[@jesselackey5333]

I have my families 80 year old Roses from Chicago Growing them in Indiana. Every year they are more beautiful. I want to do this with them. Tha ks

No problem. Here's another comprehensive rose cutting video I did if you need more ideas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5CUl4iogs12psk

[@daintykeisha9787]

Omg your peer pressure to take the plant out and see the roots are what I look forward to the most lol. Great video

[@vonries]

The thing I like most about your videos is that you show results over time. Some people show videos that show in great detail what they're doing, but that's it. You have no idea if their experiment worked out, failed, or something in between. If it did work how much of an improvement vs how many inputs, including labor. Sure some things work to a degree, but was whatever they were doing justify the cost(and labor). Sure they may come back to it a few months later, but I've seen a Bizilion other videos since then. You put everything into a nice neat package. Every question answered nothing stands in your way of showing us everything. Right down to the point where you risk killing the plant just so we can see everything down to the root hairs. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate everything you do.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I'm humbled. You truly get what I'm doing here and I appreciate that you appreciate my efforts. Thanks for being a part of the family here and I'm glad you enjoy the videos.

[@Lindasmith-mh1vh]

I live in Florida and my late husband had a green th rub growing roses. We moved here July 4, 2014.He dug up the roses and planted them on the 5th of July, it was 97’. All those roses lived. He passed away in 2019 and I’m babying those roses each winter. The thought of letting one die is so upsetting. I didn’t know how to propragate but after watching you I do now. I’ll soon cut some and start and let the root through sumner, fall and winter and plant in the spring. I have sand or would shredded mulch work west to plant them in? Thank you for teaching me this if all works I’ll have 8 more roses to go with his beautiful 8. I am so blessed to have found your videos. God bless you! You’re a great instructor!

[@MikeKincaid79]

[@liberiangirl5642]

Did this with my birthday bouquet. I did 15 pieces under a dome, and 8 are growing. Ran out of pots and did 8 right into the ground and covered with plastic cups and 2 are growing. Happy with my results thus far.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Nice! Thanks for sharing that.

[@4peltonpeople]

I can't thank you enough for your help. I was able to take 11 cuttings from an enormous old yellow rose bush from my neighbor on Oct 1st, 2021. These have rose hips and were transplanted from MI to the NC coast. My grandmother passed in March and yellow roses were her all time favorites. So proud to say 10 of the 11 cuttings have rooted and made new growth in the last 6-7 weeks! Now I'm headed to your other videos in hopes of finding out how to keep them alive throughout the winter and when/where/how to plant them in the ground and share some of them with my mom and her two sisters in southeastern Ohio without them dying. Praying they will be sturdy and resilient for a lifetime of beautiful yellow reminders of my Mamaw ❤️

[@MikeKincaid79]

So glad to hear of your success! Rooted cuttings are as tough as the parent plants in most cases and will do fine in cold weather. Just make sure to protect from snow, rain, and wind. Good luck Stephanie!

[@robs9847]

Can't get enough of your videos, very inspirational. I'm in British Columbia and tried 4 rose cuttings and had a 50/50 success rate. Also had the black stem on 2 of them but we had extreme hot summer. With temps hitting 40C/104 F and probably drying out. I'm happy I got 2 out of 4. Now I have the rooting bug! Just got 3 cutting from my Gardenia plant and so far 2 of 3 are starting to root.

[@mylindawhite5261]

My neighbor has a rose that everyone loves and many have tried unsuccessfully to root. I am going to get fresh cuttings tomorrow and give them the "Mike Kinkaid" treatment.

[@cable3]

Did they regrow?

[@lobe2032]

I don't know who was the most excited about those roots, you or me, I really can't contain my excitement when I see them anymore, to know that we have took a piece of a plant and started a new one is AMAZING. I love it!!!!!! I can't get enough of doing this, it seems to be addictive. Anyway, I'm hooked. Thanks to you.

[@MikeKincaid79]

That's exactly where I was at over 15 years ago when I started all this. I was so mesmerized and amazed that you could duplicate a plant like this. Enjoy the wonder, Glenda!

[@Flippin_Crazy]

May you grow ALL those roses. If you follow Mikes instructions down to the T…I know you will get them all rooted.

[@paulettemitchell4390]

Thank you so much Mike! I love your videos. I have never had a green thumb. I was never even able to make periwinkles grow. Believe me I tried when I was young. Every one of them died. But now I'm 69 years old. Well I was 68 when I first saw your video and I successfully got two rose cuttings to live and we have planted them around the arch that we got married under 19 years ago. They seem to be doing great. I'm so excited. I'm going to try some more off of the same rose bush. Well actually it's a climbing rose very fragrant pink and my sister-in-law would like to have some too so I'm going to try my hand at it again and with your help I'm pretty sure I can get it done. Thank you so much! It is so exciting to see new growth coming about by your hand. I finally found somebody that I could understand and explain it to me to where I can get it done. Thank you! Thank you so much. I'm so happy.

[@charlesecrowdersr3251]

Have used aloe Vera gel from my plant , , cut @ wet bottom of plants with the gel ,also cinnamon powder is a good rooting compound with some cuttings, love you blogs

[@MikeKincaid79]

Aloe is a good one. Cinnamon doesn't contain root hormones but it's helpful in keeping fungus and bacteria at bay to buy the cutting time while it roots. Same with honey.

[@MikeFloutier]

Thank you so much for this Mike. I followed your videos as a propagation newbie last year and I now have four wonderful healthy roses growing on my front wall; I’ve even got a couple of lovely white roses from cuttings taken from the bouquet I gave my wife.

Awesome! Glad to hear it Leticia!!!

[@rphjacobs9197]

Awesome video Mike!! I want you to know I have learned everything from you and SO appreciate your willingness to teach us about cuttings. I was one of those people who kept getting rotten cuttings... I live in zone 6b and have very humid air through the summer....this is what I learned. I never EVER take the dome off and mist my cuttings. I wet the soil once at the time of inserting the fresh cuttings and that’s it! I will mist the actual dome (soda bottle or whatever) on the inside if I don’t see moisture beads. That has made a huge difference in preventing rot. I never used the anti-fungal Spray so the only thing I changed was that I stopped misting the actual cutting. I have several roses that have sent roots and shoots and are doing outstanding!!! So.... for those in humid climates... do not mist the cuttings... just mist the inside of your dome if you see that it doesn’t have many moisture beads. My soil stayed damp because there was always a little moisture from the dome itself... not enough moisture to allow for fungal growth but just enough to satisfy the cutting. Love your channel!! ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks again Mike!!

[@MikeKincaid79]

So glad to hear of your success and that you've figured it out for your area! That's a really great point that people may need to adjust things a little depending on their location. Thanks for all your support!

Yes, it's overkill but it worked :) I did some hardwood cuttings this last winter during pruning time, the first week of August. I got the cuttings from my neighbour over the fence. I dug a trench under my jacaranda tree, lay the cuttings on the side, and cover. They've rooted and I should pot them up in their own pots next month.

Frustrating, then I read an article about proprogating roses in water. Basically the lady said to only use a centimeter of water. I took six cuttings off a minature rose and tried that, instead of the normal 2 to three inches of water that I have tried and failed. Ironically all six cuttings have calloused and started to root. In my experience potting soil and water have held in too much moisture, making mold an issue. Water definitely takes longer though. Next on my list is boquet roses. I think that the potting mix you use or sand like you suggest makes a huge difference. Growing roses in Florida is extremely challenging, even Botanical Gardens struggle.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Maybe it’s the high heat and humidity.

[@MrWelfarehater]

@@MikeKincaid79 a follow up. All 6 cuttings have took and put out massive amounts of roots. I made a video of it about a minute and 22 seconds long. The reason I think that roses struggle in Florida is watering. Our soil is sand based, instead of clay based. Up in Valdosta, Georgia roses grow and bloom like crazy. Valdosta is not quite 300 miles away. I am considering trying to grow roses hydroponically. Next step is a half dozen of boquet roses. I am going to keep a video log on it. Growing roses is a cool hobby. Your videos on rose propagating are excellent and inspiring, Thanks for making them.

Great information! The anti fungal improved your chances by 50% I think, + your timing of when you took the cuttings. A total success 3/3. I done the same last year using the same system as you, only done one, but it rooted perfectly and is now a healthy plant 👍

[@MikeKincaid79]

Awesome! Yeah, that anti-fungal spray really helps keep the rot at bay. I guess I'm a poet, haha. I was pretty happy to see 3/3 cuttings rooted!

[@sarmishthabanerjee1057]

Shall I have to take the rose cuttings out of the pot and spray the anti fungal spray or I can just spray them while they are in the pot ? Also please recommend a anti fungal spray.

[@hmh3808]

I’ve never used antifungal spray with my rose cuttings. I don’t know if I’ve just been lucky?but I rarely lose one using Mike’s methods and that’s the one stop by always skip.

Thank you Mike for a wonderful video. It's lovely to see someone so enthusiastic and very precise in explaining the whole process of growing roses from cuttings. I wonder if you ever tried grafting technique? Regards.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I’ve got some videos about grafting apples and figs but not roses. Maybe I’ll get to that one day.

[@sbkhider]

Geezer Mike you must have read my mind. I know it's late in the season but I just propagated my rosebush. I forgot to scrape the bottom of the stems before putting the rooting hormone on it but I did take almost all of the leaf stalks off and the thorns so there was places for the roots to grow. I also did a new plant to me called a Firefly. They are in my living room near the window but no direct sunlight. I'll let you know how they do. Thanks Mike!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yeah, I'd love to hear the outcome. I'm sure the wound created by the thorn removal will be adequate.

[@soonzach4017]

I am going to try root my rose, thank you for sharing.

You are welcome. Have fun with it!

[@ann7318]

I don't know if you check messages 2 years out or not, but I have been moving some of my rose bushes to containers due to some house issues that need fixed. I have 4 out of 7 moved so far, I am having problems finding large enough containers for them. The one I moved today, is a burgundy climbing tea rose. I had to prune some branches. They are green and healthy, so I made cuttings to try and root (November 16, 2023). Some still have leaves, I left some. We had heavy freezes earlier this month. I have not put any soda bottles on them (need to find some) yet. I thought of a corner where they won't get too much sun, and will move them in the morning. I used liquid hormone because that is what I have at the moment. They are in nice wood chips that I happen to have. These cuttings are from a rose bush that I grew from a cutting. I sure hope they grow. The parent rose bush of this cutting died from injuries in a storm, but I had had it many years. I also have a Fairy Rose bush that is huge to move, and another rose bush to move that needs huge amounts of space. I forgot the name of the second bush. I think those will need in the ground because they spread out a lot. And one more bush, a David Austin rose as soon as I find another large pot for it.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Well it sounds like you’re on the right track. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya. Hopefully everything starts growing well in the spring.

[@RCCRAYZ]

Awesome work I've never seen anyone else use the bottles like that I've been doing it a few years now with everything even starting my outside vegetable garden from seed directly in the garden only thing I do differently with the bottle domes is I attach a straight piece of stiff wire to the bottle so the wind dont blow the bottle over anyway nice video very helpful.💯👍

[@janettidswell2092]

I can feel your excitement Mike. I planted some cuttings here in England from David Austin roses which I cannot usually afford. I've been watching over them like new babies. I planted them 22/6 and I think they should be rooted by about first week in August. Still under their little plastic bottle houses and still green, so fingers crossed for success. Need to read up now about potting them for the winter and how to keep them alive till next Spring.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Wonderful! Sounds like you're on the right track, Janet. Good luck with your cuttings and I wish you the best.

[@anyaknight5481]

Do the patented varieties have some kind of spray on them that prevents propagation? I haven’t tried them because I haven’t been able to afford the cut flowers but friends that are good at propagating have not had luck with those beautiful Juliet’s. I also know they follow your videos. I don’t want to pay for the expensive flowers if they aren’t capable of propagation. I’d love to know if your English roses worked out.

[@janettidswell2092]

Mike and Anya, sadly no success. Gutted as I nursed them with TLC. The guy who provided the cuttings for me has grown successful cuttings from his. I'm trying some more cuttings at present here in UK , a few from my magnificent rambler The Peasant, and unnamed varieties from a lovely small bouquet I bought in Aldi. Hope these may grow. I do have quite a lot of success with plant cuttings generally as a self taught gardener but David Austin roses got the better of me. Have a lovely day, quite autumnal in Flixton this morning but the trees are beginning to put on their annual show. My acers in particular are a stunning red colour which look fantastic.

[@hmh3808]

@@janettidswell2092 Janet my beautiful David Austin rose in Ontario has been getting smaller over the years and gets decimated with Japanese beetles every summer. It makes me want to cry.! Especially after our wicked six month winters when I spend half the year just waiting for them to bloom… last fall I took a cutting and kept it inside all winter with a clear club soda bottle over it like mike does and I have just planted out a root ball on that one twig that is half the size of my fist.! So keep trying! I thought it was the end for my beautiful David Austin rose bush that only had two stems left on it -this year it will have 3 and hopefully will get thick enough that I can take more cuttings.! Good luck from Canada !

[@janettidswell2092]

@@hmh3808 Well done, success! It is trial and error for me here in England but, very pleased to report that I bought a bunch of roses from Aldi £2.99 for 8 and once flowers had withered decided to propogate from their stalks. Potted 4 in a plastic pop bottle, watered them, put cap on and left them outdoors over winter. Success! 1 out of 4 growing well. So I am going to try again with more from Aldi. After flowers have died I write on the stem with a fine permanent marker the colour of each rose so I know what they are. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I also cut back my beautiful rambl1ing rose, The Peasant, and stuck a 10" length of stalk in a pot, uncovered but in a sheltered spot outdoors and that too has rooted. Good luck trying to do more cuttings yourself. 🙂

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes, you can grow them from a bouquet and you would use the same technique. I plan to do a video on this at some point.

[@shrutinagaraja4089]

@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks a ton!! I tried growing them and I got to the point where I saw the growth of new leaves after 20-25 days but then it dried up and died. I had kept the bottled setup under shade and there was also enough moisture inside. The only drawback though was that the cuttings were thin. But in any case, I would be very happy to learn more from you. Looking forward to your video.

Mike! The repetition 😜 Every time you explained more easy with 🎶 how to propagate roses.

Great video. Thank you. I think Daconil is a fungicide that you should wear gloves when handling. You don’t want consequences down the road. 💙

Thanks for the insight Lauren

[@laurenb6451]

A long time ago I think I read that lots of the fungicides are carcinogenic or bad for us in some other way (I was an art major so what do I know) so I stopped using them all and now am very happy with Neem Oil but I wear gloves for that too because why would I want to get sick for some plant, right?

[@hughphillips67Mustang]

What do you do with them after you transplant them for the winter? Will they survive outdoors? Or should they be kept indoors till spring? For those of us without a hoop house.....will a garage work?

[@christianpetersen1782]

Hi Mike, Greetings from 🇬🇧. Many thanks indeed. It seems best to use a soilless potting medium like you did that’s not going to disintegrate when the pot is removed for potting-on and planting. It’s September in the UK and I’m waiting for our 90 deg F heatwave to finish!! I have made notes on my phone and hope to start next week. Thanks again. 👏
