Taking rose cuttings can be done by cutting from the bush at a 45 degree angle, dipping the end in a rooting hormone and planting in it a container of high-quality soil. Place a bag over the clipping to get it to grow with helpful information from a gardening enthusiast in this free video on flowers.

@daytimejon Have you had much success with honey? Thanks
Respond to this video…
i like to use glass jars instead of a bag
the rugosas I cut always die
I love how he compares the rooting hormone to fried chicken batter…lol
I have noticed that I still have a 50-50 survival rate even when I use root hormone. Are there some varieties that that just don’t do well? I have tried for years to propagate a rose called “uncle Joe” with no luck
@lheartlondon It’s called root stock.
Most purchased roses are grafted. The display rose is grafted onto the root of a different type of rose. The resulting plant has the best qualities of both: The display rose on top, and root stock that is hardier and more developed.
what the hell is a root stalk. u keep saying that and some of us have no idea what you’re talking about. i think you’re too advanced to talk to us noobs.
according to the interwebs, you can also cut a 2 liter bottle and place the top over the cutting for 10days to create a greenhouse effect. then remove the bottle cap after 10days.
u can use pure honey too
Hey Jeff, Mine didn’t make it. I think mother nature did ever thing right, but I may have forgot to water a couple of days. No luck for me though.
i was wondering the same thing!
did your cuttings ever grow?
am i wasting my time if I don’t use a root hormone? I have a couple of cuttings I put in a peat pod as an experiment.
Thanks
