Plant Propagation 101 #7 | When is the Best Time to Root Rose Cuttings

When is the best time to root rose cuttings? In this episode of Plant Propagation 101, we're going to have some fun. We're going to dive into answering this question by actually taking a long stem rose cutting, at the time of year that is best, and then rooting it for you to show how well it worked out. Then we'll go over how to take care of the newly rooted rose cutting and grow it on through the remainder of the season.

I hope you all enjoy this one. I sure had a lot of fun making it! Here's the original rose video with the 8 million views: kzbin.infoyUvPF0mIrXE but to be honest, I think we hit a lot more detail in shorter time in this video that I just posted, and cleaned up the process a bit. Enjoy!

[@TheDocsalr]

Thank you so much for making such informative videos. I needed to ask a question, I would be very grateful if you can reply please. What does one have to do to take rose cutting from one place to another? like from one city to another by air, like to cut it a day before or days before and plant it and then take it? I still have 10 days to go. If it has to be cut a day before how to store it so it has any success of growing and not dying? I did plant couple cutting my friend gave me couple days ago and I have to travel in a 12 days or so should I get fresh cutting again or they will do fine, currently those are in the soil and I did use the root Powder as well. Please guide me on how to proceed. Many thanks :-)

[@anotherdaygne]

Hi Mike, I’m in dire straits with potentially having killed a two month old cutting. I gave it too much iron. Is there a way to contact you directly to discuss the specifics of this plant, please??? I really need help.

Thanks again for another great video. I am 74 and I love to garden when my health allows. Each day the good Lord wakes me up it’s a gift, so I love to be outside and garden. We live in Texas, with extreme heat and sometimes drought, so I try to do a lot in the spring before the summer heat. I have several roses, but the one that I am trying to root is called a Peggy Martin from Louisiana. It survived the sea water from Katrina, so it is a fighter. It is so pretty. Thank you again.🌹

I am excited to have found your channel. I've done a lot of gardening - canned, loved roses. I have a hard time finding the fragrant roses. I love those. To me a rose is synonymous with fragrance. Where can I find the old-time fragrant roses? Do a list for us???? :-) I'm a great grandma - and I want some roses!!! I've loved them forever. My momma loved yellow roses. My oldest son loved the really deep red roses. He gave his wife and 3 young'uns roses for Valentines Day. My youngest son loved the Joseph's Coat! I'd love to do a rose garden and plant different roses that family members loved. On an acreage we had bought (at edge of town) there was a rose bush (leggy and tiny white roses). Don't think it had ever been pruned. Well, I just did it like I had my others and pruned it back big time. Oh my gosh. That thing grew the biggest most beautiful white roses after that. God Bless you young man! Love your channel. Your love of plants, the care and growing and how to grow your own plants - love love love it!

[@MikeKincaid79]

How's it looking now?

[@ImAussieMate]

@@MikeKincaid79 I placed it somewhere where I didn't think got direct sunlight. So it kinda got cooked. It's survived me being away from home for 8 days. I've got a large plastic tub that I use as a humidity dome now. I sit it under my back decking out of direct light. The cutting has callused up. I haven't checked for roots for a 2 weeks. But it just put on some new growth. It seems to be getting there 🤞 I wish I had access to better rooting medium. That fine fur bark you use looks so good.

[@ImAussieMate]

It's just gotten it's first root. Took about 5-6 werks. What a rollercoaster. It's just started some top growth now. I've potted it in some potting mix and trying to get it aclimated to normal humidity. It didn't seem to like it so I put it back into the humidity dome and it's perked up. Going to try get it going without the extra humidity over these coming days.

Hi Mike, thanks for all your hard work you do to help a garden freak like me 😁 I wanted to share a tip for recycling while gardening. I took the container from a vegetable tray, with cover, and filled each slot with seed mix soil and started my harvested petunia seeds. By the time they outgrow the tray, they'll be ready for transplanting into my jello shot glasses, also recycled from the same dinner party, and used as mini pots. From there, I have red solo cups to use for bigger plants. 😎Work had a going away party for someone and I ended up with garden supplies lol Cheers!

It's hard for me to give direction for every climate but in general, rooted cuttings are as tough as the parent plant. Here's a playlist of videos about overwintering rooted cuttings: kzbin.info/aero/PLpmpssr45yfMtl3yav-vy1qGsTDdTVWSl

Love this video! Have you ever had success propagating roses directly in the ground where you want them to grow? Is there a benefit to starting them in pots? Thanks in advance!

[@MikeKincaid79]

I haven't tried that with roses. I suppose it would work but I'd make sure to block them from direct sun or they'll cook with a plastic bottle over them. You could try hardwood cuttings in the winter and then you can not use the plastic bottle, but you'd want them in full sun to warm the soil.

OK. So here's a funny story. I've tried about a dozen different ways to root roses... hormone powder, liquid, commercial, and homemade. Aloe. Cinnamon. Swearing. Begging. Crying salty tears. I've used glass cloches, plastic and glass jars, and shade cloths. You name it. I've killed many several dozens of cuttings. Nothing rooted. This past Christmas, I cut down some grocery store roses to fit a low vase for a table setting. I had about two dozen 8" stems with leaves. I remembered a rose I'd grown from a cutting when I was nine. I'd stuck the cutting under a dripping faucet at my parent's house in Dallas. It was the height of summer and hot, but the spot was shaded. That was decades ago. I had a 'Eutin' in the garden for years. I thought I'd try rooting roses one last time. I took eight of the stems salvaged from the Christmas bouquet, a few leaves attached, and stuck them in the ground in my fallow vegetable garden. That was it. It was rainy and overcast all winter (I live in San Francisco), so, though the cuttings were in the open and unprotected, they never dried out. ALL the stems showed new growth in about two weeks. In the third week, the original foliage dropped off. There were healthy maroon shoots bursting from side buds. I tugged on each stem, and lo! they'd all rooted. I now have eight healthy rose plants. We'll see how they do in my chilly SF zone.

If they started wilting as soon as you took them out of the container then it sounds like they didn't have enough roots to support the new growth yet and maybe pulled the bottle off too soon. Either that or they just needed a longer acclimation period.

I found out that just because the seeds I planted were from my meyer lemon tree doesn't mean that they will provide meyer lemon fruit and they are still tiny plants.

I'm in 5b but preserve my roses by mounding in compost for our harsh winters but mulch will drain quickly so add soil or fallen leaves to reduce need for water.

I really don't like giving cuttings too much, if any, direct sunlight. That being said, if you're rooting them indoors, a little morning sun shouldn't hurt them. The preferred method would be outdoors where they can get much more light and no direct sunlight. That may be tough at this time of year considering it will be getting cooler soon. Indoor might be your best bet.

[@MikeKincaid79]

It happens and there's nothing wrong with that.

[@hendrikdebruin4012]

I have a rose plant that has grown wild. The stems are up to 1 1/2 inches thick and more that 4 meters in length. Any suggestions on propagating from that? It is a beautiful pink rose with 2 shades of pink in the petals. Thank you. I live in Africa BTW and the plant has many roses now in what is the middle of the winter here.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Wow, sounds like an amazing plant. I'd take cuttings exactly as described in the video and proceed the same as with any other rose bush. Those thick trunks might be able to be rooted as hardwood cuttings in winter.

[@hendrikdebruin4012]

@@MikeKincaid79 Hi thanks for the feedback. Really I did not expect ANY response so kudos to your channel for that. Gained one new signee. What is mazing about the roses is that they stay fresh for up to 10 days just in a glass of tap water. Greetings from Africa.

...I was given a cut rose and now the bloom is fading. Can this stem be rooted after being in water for so long? I also snipped some berry branches and stuck them in the same pot of vermiculite (wet) and covered with a baggie. Do they need peat moss and each to have their own pot? Mike, I am certain you could get a rock to grow roots. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes, cut roses can be rooted by cutting. I plan to do a video on this at some point.

[@georgebaker8108]

i created two different air plants. i live in southern Ontario Canada and they did not winter. dead in spring. any ideas.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Start them early and get them potted up and in a shed before winter.

[@MarcoPolo-ft2iq]

question for Mike: do you know why it is so difficult to find fragrant roses?

[@MikeKincaid79]

I haven't found that to be a problem. You could do a google search for most fragrant rose varieties and start looking for them at local nurseries.

[@oldbear6813]

Can you root from store bought roses? Say my husband bought a dozen roses for our 25th anniversary and I don't want to part ways with those roses, can I use this process on "bought" roses?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Absolutely! Go save your anniversary roses.

[@asacontentcreation7278]

What is the recipe for the potting mix please? So cool!

[@MikeKincaid79]

It's just finely ground fir tree bark.

[@theduck7456]

Mike, It's the last of September and need to know if you can use this method under a grow light

[@MikeKincaid79]

I haven't tried that but it's worth a shot. I'm currently working on a similar video about hydrangea and am learning some good things. I'll give roses a shot.

[@cturner9356]

Do you have a video on how you made the hoop house? I want to make one but have no idea how to make it and control the temperature inside.

[@cturner9356]

Also, can I propagate roses right now? Do I bring it inside the house for the winter? I’m in SLC, Utah.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I don't currently have that video up but I do need to make one for you. I've never tried to root rose cuttings this time of year and bring into the home but I can certainly give it a try and get a video up about it. I'm currently working on a similar video with hydrangea and I think I've got the perfect technique.

[@loneranger8293]

Great video sir! I live in Manitoba, Canada with very cold winters. I took raspberry (floricanes) cuttings and put 2 per pre-soaked 1 gallon pots and so far after a month all appear healthy as all still have leaves. My thought process is to leave in pots for a couple more weeks and than transplant into garden 1 foot apart and cover with flax straw. Question(s): is this the proper way to store over winter or leave in pots, plant in garden than transplant in spring as keeping indoors not an option as 20 pots. As you know raspberry in the rose family.Thanks

[@MikeKincaid79]

I answered back on the other video. Thanks for the question.

[@sergioortiz1839]

Two of my rose cuttings are turning black. And others have fungus buildup at the top. Will the fungicide help at this point?

[@MikeKincaid79]

I might be too late, but just remember that the black isn't always fungus. If the cuttings still look healthy then give them more time.

[@sergioortiz1839]

@@MikeKincaid79 ok thank you!!!!

[@AnwarriAbdullah]

Question...how to make rose bloom bigger?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Plenty of sun, water, fertilizer, and mostly genetics.

[@annalestari2117]

like your video 👍👍

Thanks Anna

Can we use kelp (watering) as an antifungal?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Not sure, I haven't looked into that one.

[@paulschaefer5241]

Some time back I asked about if you could do a video on money tree cuttings. I mean the p[ant Pachira aquatica. There are many videos of peopelo rooting cuttings of this plant from a single leaf. I have never seen a follow-up on any of them. I know there are some plants where it is possible to grow roots on a leaf but not get a plant. Could you try this and show ius if it works or not?

[@MikeKincaid79]

I do remember you asking about this but haven't picked up that plant since you asked. At some point I'll get to it. It'll take some working on that one to get it figured out but when I do, you know me, I'll have a beginning and ending.

[@bodygame6075]

Hi Mike can you propagate almond tree from cuttings? Can you give us some advice pls.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I want to get more into fruit and nut tree propagation. I’ve got some ideas for future videos.

[@JOSELOPEZ-wh2uc]

is river sand good soil to propagate ?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes

[@Wondraa1]

Is it still in the bark mulch or is it in soil?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Mulch

[@TRUFIVE50]

How long do you usually continue potting up plants or keeping them in a pot before planting them outside?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Depends on the plant. Rhododendrons stay in the hoop house for several years until they're in 2 or even 5 gallon pots. The green giants get planted out as 1 gallon. Just depends on how hardy they are.

[@chekalong]

Henry still exists! 🐓 Is there any video where we can see him? 😆

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yep, he's still hanging around. My wife has him in videos on her channel. Link in the description.

[@kathleenmccarthy8418]

Would you plant that rose into the ground in fall, or protect it all the way til spring?

[@MikeKincaid79]

You could plant it in ground in the fall, depending on your zone and how well rooted it is. If it's not well rooted yet and you live in an extremely cold location, you may want to give added protection.

[@beforedawn]

I'm having a time finding fine fir bark or long fiber fir bark -- I only see mulch or composed aged media. Help?

[@MikeKincaid79]

I buy it at a local landscape supply business by the dump truck load. Here's video about rooting medium that might help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m327eaxqdplgrs0
