Root and Grow Rose Cuttings (Super Easy) Rose Propagation Part 2

[@Tarot_Time_with_Belle]

That’s how I do it and I have a good success rate too. Although I usually soak them in water for a week and when I see the thick white bumpy texture of the base roots appearing, I then follow through to how you’ve done it. I’m the SE of England UK…. I’m finding taking cuttings in March when growth production is fast, that I get roots faster. Once they appear, they go into a good free draining soil. I use sharp sand instead of perlite as it’s become very expensive here since covid. Just found your channel and so far I’m loving your content and your “just try it” attitude. I think that’ll help new gardeners too. Thank you for sharing.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Yes, I have switched to sand as well and have found it quite effective and budget friendly.

[@lindapuder9204]

Thank you, I love rose's, can't wait to try this.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

You’re welcome 😊I am having even better success with another method. If you haven't already, see my latest propagation video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qamno42um9hmnsksi=6E0BZZ0YXjbsfl9b

[@gabrielabudan]

Hi, I propagated roses without hurting them at the bottom. They rooted quite well .. Thank you for the video.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Yes, me too and yet others swear by that tactic. Who knows for sure. Thanks for chiming in here.

I'm going to try it. So many cutting in one container! Who knew!! And in October.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

It is so fun to try different methods. I have another up my sleeve and I will post that one soon.

[@hetalchiragshah]

Thank you Pamela for sharing how to propagate roses. Can you please throw some idea how frequently to water them or how should we retain moisture

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Watering is based on your conditions so water as needed to keep the soil moist but not wet. In drier climates that will be more frequentyl and in more humid climates it will be less. That is why I cannot give a definite frequency or amount. The lid on the cup should retain the moisture enough but let there be airflow so it reduces the chances of fungal problems. I hope this helps!

[@hetalchiragshah]

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you so much for reply. Another question is. I live in Virginia and it is fall started . So is it ok to plant new rose plants in the garden right now or will it die because of cold weather coming in

[@longarmsupplies]

Thanks so much! I'm going to give this a try this summer.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Careful, it gets addictive.

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

Great video! You are an amazing teacher. I will try this way also.

You can do it! I am now using straight horticultural sand which seems to keep them from rotting as easily. Just a helpful hint.

That's great. I especially enjoy propagating vintage roses.

[@Darragh_K]

This is very similar to the way I did it, except didn't bash it😄 Mines are really miniature cuttings & quite short so im giving it a trial and error to see what happens.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Trial and error is the best way to find what works for you. I wish you success!

[@tracywalker5431]

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed it and Thank you for all the great information

[@AtlantaTerry]

I keep unused Chinese restaurant chopsticks on my potting bench to use to make holes for cuttings. They have a nicely pointed tip and are free for the asking.

Hi Pamala. Thank you for posting this how to on propagating roses. I will be back to see more when I get time. This is part 2. I haven't seen part 1 yet. Lol. Sorry to hear about you getting frost so soon. We are right behind you for that. I heard tonight Friday Oct.4, for us in Woonsocket, RI. Take care until next time.🌻💗

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Thanks for watching, I love propagating plants so I often experiment. We got the freeze but it did less damage than I anticipated. I did put out a new video on the results of the freeze.

[@JoAnn-p2i]

😊 thanks for videos...learning a lot...

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Stay tuned! I am testing a new (to me) method of propagating roses and other plants and will share if it works!

[@barbaradiaz1742]

Thanks for sharing your easy, wonderful tips! Want to experiment immediately but need to get rooting hormone.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

It isn't absolutely necessary but it does help speed up the process when you use rooting hormone.

[@helenlopez3160]

Hi, after propagation and leaves pop, how do you transfer to ground and feed? Loved your 2 videos. 💜🤓

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

I pot it up incrementally as it grows then when it is about 2 years old and full of great roots I plant it in the ground. Or I plant it into a much larger pot and give away.

[@charlesbale8376]

Very useful, well done video.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sparrowilan7418]

Do u get roting ones? What to do in this situation?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Yes, I do get some that rot, that is why you do tons of cuttings. You can prep in the beginning by dipping the cuttings in a 1/2 part water x 1/2 part hydrogen perxoide to help with bacteria on them. But 9 times out of ten they rot because they are kept too moist.

[@karenfarquhar4275]

Thank you! I'm going to try today. Do you water them at all after planted?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Only as needed. That differs according to your local conditions, humidity, temperatures etc.

[@zeek4749]

I think in California I can do this at anytime of the year because the weather is always nice here

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

I live in California too, but I cannot do this anytime of year as I live in the mountains with cold snowy winters and the roses are dormant. Though you can do hardwood cuttings, they just are harder to root.

[@nancyt2003]

Can’t wait to try this!!🌹

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Have fun!

[@grizoswald210]

Thank you for this video. I have used various percentages of compost (or potting soil) and perlite to root roses. I've never heard of using 100% sand. Does that work as well? Seems like there wouldn't be as much air getting to the root area if using sand only?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

My friend who used to work at her parents nursery eons ago and would propagate plants on a large scale only roots them in sand and she has great success. Right now I have several varieties in some sand to root and so far so good. I will report in again on the success rate.

[@grizoswald210]

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thanks for the information. Please let us know you success rate in using sand. I have plenty of sand around but have not tried using it for rose propagation. It's sterile for sure, but I just figured a mix of potting soil (or compost) and perlite would provide a 'looser' soil and more air to the roots instead of sand. BTW, do you use regular fine-grain "play sand" or some specific type of sand? Thanks.

[@suzannejenne2439]

Love this method! And I enjoyed part 1 too! How long do you keep these growing on the window sill? Do you transplant in the spring?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Some will root sooner than others and I usually will pot them into their own pots to get larger once they have developed a robust root system then I put them in the garden or giveaway. So how long depends on how much time they take to root. Sorry I could not be more specific.

@@suzannejenne2439 This is what I use on my windowsills. amzn.to/46aifJJ In summer I would put them in a north facing window or one that only gets a bit of morning light. Other than that, yes, bring them back away from direct sunlight.

[@thomasmurray4717]

Thank you. Very informative. After the roses have rooted and you can see the roots in the container, How do you transplamt them into a pot?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

I shared how I do it in this video. I would recommend making sure there are a lot of roots so it can really take off. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6amYZ94npl4eMk

[@christmassnow3465]

I noticed that before rooting a cutting, you scratch its bottom tip and peel some of the bark to promote faster rooting. However, you did not do it with the cuttings having the juncture still attached at the base. Is there a reason for not doing this?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

It is not necessary to scrape or smash the ends of the canes, I sometimes do it and sometimes I do not. Some say the damaging of the ends will help them root faster but I have not found that to be true.

[@kellyluk73]

Thank you for the video, do you need to water the container regularly after you have put the cuttings in?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Just to keep it moist, but overwatering is the main cause of failure. A moisture meter comes in handy for checking the level. Only add water if it reads nearly dry.

Keep them in shade. The hole in the top should be left open but the cut you make around the side should be taped shut as in the Winter Sowing video I share here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHuakHZvrL6BoMU

[@graceshafiani3889]

How do you select which rose 🌹 variety to use for propagation. Either of your methods. Thank You 🙏🏻

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

I have many roses in my garden and I just choose one I would like another of. For example, my Eden aka Pierre de Ronsard rose is gorgeous and thrives here in my garden and I would like to add another to climb beside my porch so I will either take cuttings or air layer it to make another.

[@sama8670]

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse so a rose that was grafted will root from it own root stock giving the same flower. But whatever the reasons/benefits for the original graft are lost. Have a great garden 🪴 day.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

@@sama8670 Many are finding now that the graft is not necessary and for me roses growing on their own root are preferable. Grafted roses can typically die off in about 15 years but own root will live for decades if not longer. And if you get a freak freeze, like I do when they are not dormant, your rose will come back true from the roots on own root rose instead of the graft root stock which is many times Dr. Huey.

When you have put the rose cuttings in the plastic container. How long do you leave them in for thanks

[@lorrainewright9285]

Hi, I am going to try this later today.. Do you need to keep watitng the cuttings regularly please?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Only water as needed. Overwatering is the easiest way to kill them. The cover keeps the moisture in but if it is very warm they can start to dry out. A moisture meter comes in handy for this. I will put a link in the description box of one I use.

[@AmrikSingh-mw5iq]

Hi, after you keep the cutting on window sill, do you need to water them again, if so what frequency ?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

That depends on your conditions, so many factors. Take off the lid and put your finger down into the soil to test moisture if you cannot tell from looking at it through the cup. You want moist not wet.

Tthe cuttings will be planted around the trunk of a dead apple tree that has great branches. I think it will look great. Thank you.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Here is me potting up the cuttings. I often pot them on to larger pots as they grow and keep an eye on them until I feel they are big enough to pop into the garden. That is not absolutely necessary. My grandmother used to bury the pot in the soil during the winter to insulate them. You can also root them directly in the ground if you can shade them a touch while the root.

[@adelaolivero9966]

Thank you.

[@oliviaburge3479]

[@brunellacarlberg6222]

When you say you use compost, is there a special type of compost? Do I just go to a garden center and buy a bag of compost and add perlite?

I use either my homemade compost or the compost I buy in bulk at a local turkey farm. You can use regular bagged potting soil mixed with sand. Here is the latest cutting video I did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/omrPY3mQj86pgLs I am always experimenting with mediums and switch it up. I have a friend who uses straight horticultural sand with success.

[@Allisonstiles643]

Have you ever tried honey as a rooting compound?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Honey does not stimulate rooting as the compound will but it does help deter fungus that can affect the cuttings before they root.

[@teresaptp59]

When can the roses be planted into the ground after rooting them? ( TIA )

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

That depends on the conditions. These that I started in Fall rooted and I planted them up into individual 4 inch pots to get a little bigger. It got nice and warm here for a month in February and I put them outside. Bad idea! I forgot about them and we got hit with some cold snowy weather in March. When I remembered them I rushed them back into the greenhouse but for many of them that cold snap was too much and they are toast. A few are hanging in there. Now the ones I started last July are doing great and I have popped them up into one gallon cans and they are doing just fine outside. But I did have them up against the house for a measure of protection. So a good rule of thumb I would say is in about a year.

[@angelsinthecloset8714]

[@kjbigsful]

When do you know when to water it? Also, will regular potting soil work?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

You can use regular potting soil but many times there can be issues since it holds water more and over watering can be an issue. Being inside the container with a lid means it doesn't not need watering as often. To see if it needs water take off the lid and push your finger down into the potting medium, they need to be just moist but not wet.

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

@@cherm7328 In the top right hand corner is the link to the first video. There are so many variables for how fast they root, it can depend on the type of rose, the time of season and conditions. You will have to test it yourself with the roses you wish to root. I have some that have finally rooted after 6 months and others that root in 1 month. There is no one answer. And just because there are leaves that come from the cuttings in a little over a week does not mean they have developed roots. I have some cuttings in a jar of water and they have fully leafed out and it has been 8 months. I have never used wax so I can't answer that.

[@angelamcelwain125]

Why do my cuttings put out leaves which look healthy and give me hope but then a couple weeks later they droop then fall off?

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

The canes can store energy and that is how they put out leaves but without roots yet they cannot sustain them. The leaves falling off does not indicate that the cutting is not rooting, in fact, it is a good thing as that means the energy is now directed and producing roots.

[@jennifergeoghegan4125]

Which month is the best to slip them or pot them

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

I find the best time for me is right after they bloom and I am dead heading them. So it is different for everyone as climate effects when you get blooms. But you can do this in late Fall too, they just won't root as fast.
