🌹 Propagate Roses from Cuttings // Lessons Learned to Grow Roses from Cuttings

In this video I share how to select a rose cane that is ready to propagate, how to prepare it, how to apply rooting hormone, and how to begin to propagate it. I share rose propagation tips I learned from my friend Seng of Backyard Paradise on KZbin and from Jason of Fraser Valley Rose Farm on KZbin. After I show you how to propagate, I share some propagation lessons learned from rose propagation failures and what I've been doing wrong the past few years. Please subscribe so that you can see video updates on the growth of the propagated rose roots and when they are ready to move to a larger container. I hope that this video encourages you to try to grow roses from cuttings successfully or propagate roses from cuttings easily. Good luck with your rose propagation.

Your examples are super. I’ve never heard of looking for a pink node.

[@dberar55]

Well, I added you to my list of propagation channels. Now I have 3 go to channels. I started a year and a half ago in this hobby. I was interested in rhododendrons and found Mike Kincaid who is local near me and his energy is contagious and Mike propagates everything. I then found Jason when I decided to try propagating roses. Learned a lot from them. I decided last winter to do some cuttings indoors. I used a clear tub with fine fir bark for my media and bought a heat mat. I did invest in a thermostat with mine and it keeps the bark at 69/71 degrees constantly. Using a Led light also. You brought up points today I hadn't heard before. or paid any attention to. I'm in the PNW Washington and were in our cold rainy season now so I just started my indoor station a week ago and was going to do some rose cuttings today when the rain stops. So anyhow as I ramble, thank you for this video and keep them coming.

I’ve been hesitant to try my hand at propagation, thinking it was only for the “experts”, but you’ve encouraged me to add it to my New Years resolutions.👍🏽🌹

😀, I made all the mistakes you had. It had been always a hit or miss. Thanks for this very clear instructions. I will try your method & hope that I will have the same success as yours. 🙏

I’ve never succeeded at propagation, and was thinking I was going to quit and that it would be less expensive and less time consuming to just buy roses of the same color I wanted to propagate. But I think I will give it another try. Thanks so much for this.

[@GardeningInContainer]

You are cutting too close to the node.it will damage the node and cutting will fail.also leave some more leaves.otherwise every thing else you explain are too good.i love it.

[@littlebrownP]

I will definitely create a Playlist, subscribe and like your videos. I started propergating roses last year not knowing what I was doing. I trimmed my bushes and put them in a pile out back and forgot about them. This year I notice something growing and it was those stems I just put in a pile, silly me. Now I have a huge bush that grew over the summer and now here in October it's still blooming beautiful red knock out roses. I've watched some videos on propergating and just cut some and have them under my grow light. But after looking at your video I'm definitely going to get more ready for this winter. Thank you so much for popping up. I'm going to follow you so keep the videos coming.

I have 1 percent, but this winter I am gathering Willow branches to make some Hormone Tea! I am hoping it helps! This Winter I will be creating a Grow Room with Lights! :) I am eye-balling my Roses now! Tropicana has some good canes with pink nodes! I never realized!

[@greensage395]

OMG, there is a Pink Lady Banks Rose I walk past for years....I have envied it, never touching it because I need to figure this out....so many attempts, so many failures! Rose by Seed was always my go-to for more Roses! They are so cute, creating a tiny version of their Greater selves by the 3rd leaf-set! If I could only replace what was lost...in 2011, we had an Arctic Blast that put us at 11 Degrees for nearly 3 days, and I was in the middle of a move and had everything potted! ......I never recovered! :)

Rose propagation

[@diintheuk4425]

Thanks so much Kim! Love love love the video! feel inspired to try the propagation myself now. Thank you! Just to make sure I get you right, I captured the images and what I understood is: the appropriate nods would be the ones with "fresh pink color" and "a tiny bit of bulging, but not too much". Is that right?

[@AnwarriAbdullah]

What ia the best temperature and humidity for planting rose cutting?

[@jansmit4628]

A very nice and elaborate explanation. I watched several other propagate videos and in a lot of them the used garlic, banana and other fruit to put around the area where rooting should be done. Is this a working method or just videos to gather clicks?

[@TheRoseGeek]

I haven't tried fruit but I suspect that it is just for clicks/views.

[@lisatraynor3868]

Jason mentions the air inside a tote being too still in one of his early propagation videos. Did you guys discuss a way to overcome this?

[@diintheuk4425]

What great video...❤🎉I am rewatching your propagation videos and taking notes before June, when roses start flowering in the UK. A question if I may: Do you think putting the bins outside in a sunny spot in your garden from June to August would be good enough, instead of using Growlight? Or would you rather keep the cuttings in a more controlled environment such as Growlight? I would appreciate your feedback. 😊

[@diintheuk4425]

@@TheRoseGeek Oh thank you so much for your kind reply. Another great tip as well! I am so thrilled to try all the methods suggested by you this year. Don't know why, but something about propagating roses makes me so excited. I feel like I am becoming an alchemist or a magician. Thanks again, Kim. You are an inspiration!!

Hi Kim, I could not find any organic perlite, only found the Miracle Gro perlite which says ‘ Enriched with plant food’. Is it ok to mix with organic peat moss to make the propagation mix for rose cuttings?

[@sarmishthabanerjee1057]

@@TheRoseGeek Thank you! I luckily found the organic all natural Vigoro perlite the next day at a different Homedepot and returned the Miracle Gro perlite. I used the Organic perlite with my organic peat moss. I have a question. How long should I keep my humidity dome open daily to save the cuttings from rot. The humidity is showing 99 almost always and temperature 63/64 F. Few of the cuttings which I planted on Jan. 1st, rot from the bottom, so I threw them away. What should I do to save the rest? The leaves look ok so far.

[@TheRoseGeek]

Congrats on your rooting! A rose can certainly grow in a pot for a year or more. Jump up a size for the pot when the roots completely fill the pot. Once you get to 20x20", they can remain in that size forever. Just make sure that you are fertilizing once a week.

[@annebeck2208]

Be aware that florist roses are usually sprayed with "non-sprout" so that it makes it hard to propagate, but it makes them "non-living" plant material for import. If you can't get them to propagate, it is probably not you. Also, because you don't know the rose, it could still be under patent (usually 20 years) and illegal to propagate.....but you can always destroy the rooted cutting.

[@roontunes]

Florists roses are mostly long stem single bloomers with no scent and no re-bloom.
