- Learn how to take cuttings of Jackmanii clematis and care for this hardy and reliable flowering vine. Clematis x Jackmanii, introduced in the late 1800's is one of the oldest clematis cultivars; it also happens to be one of the most beautiful, hardy, and disease resistant varieties.
Propagating by taking cuttings guarantees that the new plants have the exact same composition. It is like cloning the plant. - Навчання та стиль
Thank you, ma’am. 3 years ago I think a bird brought me a magenta clematis plant via it’s droppings because one day I spotted a glorious magenta flower and then learned that it was clematis. I love this plant, the blooms are magnificent and it’s neat the way it climbs.
I’m so thankful God made it possible to make cuttings from it. This should be great, I hope to try now.
Oh wow! I wish you all the best! It sounds like a very special plant, in multiple ways. Plan for 75% of the rootings not making it. I think my success rate from the batch in the video was 9 out of 32. So plant accordingly. Keep me posted.
Thats a great gift!
Found my clematis on a discounted end season rack two years ago. Love plants that challenge me to revive. My clematis I saved one died two going so strong. My first time every planting just followed UA-cam instructions and have beautiful plants.Thanks for the tips to making more clematis. Truly my favorite plant. Thanks Again Happy Growing!!💐💐🪴🪴
Happy gardening to you too! My husband is the patron saint of lost plant causes; he has brought some totally back to life ☺️🌿. So, I understand that you are attracted to the challenge. I'm glad you found the video useful! All the best with your propagation 🌺
Thanks for a simple and clear video. I have one small vine that surprised me last year and gave me 1 flower then. This year so far it has blessed me with 4 beautiful flowers. I love this plant and I thank you for showing how to propagate new ones. 🦋
Thank you. I'm glad you found the video helpful. All the best in your propagation quest.
Thank you for the detailed instructions! I, accidentally, clipped off a string of my plant, with the help of your video, I’m hopping to get at least one little one rooting.

You are quite welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Remember, the success rate is about 30%, so start more than you want. I wish you all the best! 🌱
Thank you for this one video! Simple and very clear,exact good for me! Will do with my clematis friends forever!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck to you and your clematis! 🌺
Using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for cleaning the pots has the advantage that it also works on potential mould, and it's completely biodegradable (2x H2O and O2 = water and oxygen). Thank you for great videos!
Sorry, I didn’t see your comment until now! Thank you for that. Great tip! I’ve always hesitated using bleach because of what it can do to your clothes if it splatters.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Happy holidays!
If you’re feeling lucky just put a cutting in the ground where you want it to grow. I had one take last year, I put it next to a climbing rose 🌹 . 🤣
You must truly have green thumbs! I love the combination of roses and clematis. I might just try it this year! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Right because who wants to watch all this????
@delidivaed1 I do, it's very informative, clear, and concise, right to the point. Why comment on the video if it's not for you?
I just accidentally ripped a vine out of the ground, unprepared to propagate it so I’m gonna roll the dice and see what happens!!! lol
@@jmac7133 good luck!
Thank you so much! I learned something new. Have always wanted to thicken my thinned out Jack, believing I'll just buy another to grow along side the original. Now, I can plant in the grown cuttings for a fuller plant. Wonderful idea.
I’m so glad to hear that you will try this! Best of luck!
What a beautiful lady. I shared this video with my mom. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! 🌹
What an excellent demo! So useful! Thank you so much! I think I will try it this fall!
You are so welcome! Have fun! 🌺
One of my favorite perennials. A bit of basic care is all these beautiful plants require, and I have been rewarded by them year after year,
Thank you.
Yes, my Jackmanii has NEVER disappointed. They are among the best. Glad you agree 🌿
Thank you for your gardening knowledge. I enjoy your videos. ❤️
You are quite welcome. I love sharing our garden and garden knowledge. 🌹
What a lovely and informative video! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge (and your beautiful garden).
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I love sharing our garden and gardening knowledge!
You should! It's been well designed.
I have never cut my clematis's back. They are HUGE! And the bloom like crazy. They're done now, except for the double bloomed Clematis. It's still Flowering like crazy. I am in Western NC.
Greetings to western North Carolina! With your climate, I’m not surprised that your clematis grow huge. I think that one of the main reasons to cut clematis is to keep bloom closer to the ground, as well as keep the clematis behaved and fitting to the trellis.
We ran twine up for the top of the trellis. The blooms tend to stay near the bottom portion of the Clematis plant. I've had the biggest Clematis for about 30 years. I've had the double bloomed for about 10 years. Plenty of sunshine through the early part of the day, and shaded after. Well mulched. Love them.
It sounds absolutely beautiful!
I just tried this with my clematis! 🙌I'm so excited to see if it will work for me as well. Thank you for your helpful video😊
Yay! I wish you all the best with your cuttings! 🌿
Thank you! I was filling a new flowerbed i built last fall with plants and was planning to buy more but due to the pandemic all the garden centers are closed. Now i can clone clematis from my front garden and bring them into the backyard as well!
You are quite welcome! I'm glad you found the video useful. Please be aware that the clematis take a while to root and get strong. Good luck and all the best!
Flowers can be expensive. You know you can propagate any flower, right?
@@jenmb2679 I am so new to gardening...Yet there is no shortage of new things to find!
Thank you. I love clematis, I own only one and it’s like yours in color I guess. It has shown to be surprisingly strong for it remained alive in a regular size pot with hardly any care as I was absent from this home for years. Now I I live here and is doing well. It’s a great video.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Some Clematis are just so strong, and others are just so fussy. Lucky you for having a strong one!
Lovely clear video...thank you. We have a clematis identical to yours on the north side of our house in SW France and I will take cuttings today.
Greetings to SW France! I wish you success! 🌺
Great video. Your garden is lovely!
Thank you very much!
I really enjoy your channel. Lots of useful information.
Thank you. I appreciate hearing that. It helps understand what people would like to see.
I bought a dark purple clematis on discount last year ($3.00) and it surprised my with beautiful blooms this spring and again now in October (Bakersfield, CA). It is nice to know I can propagate it.
😊
hi.. can you tell me where I can get clematis seeds?
I don't trust very much in websites.. but if you have some webs in mind thats ok.
PD.- I'm from Mexico
@@brykzo clematis is very hard 2 grow from seeds
Thanks Rosanne...great simple tip, have subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing! Glad you liked the video.
Thank you so much for this information! Now I know I can do this! You are wonderful!❤️
You are so welcome! I wish you the best!
Appreciate learning how to do that 👍🏻
Thank you.
Glad you found the video helpful!
I purchased a clematis root from Aldi and that thing is so resilient in my zone 9. I did bury it deep and added some mulch. I’ve gotten a few small purple blooms. Great info to make more!
I'm so glad to hear about your clematis. They are so beautiful! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Did u use rooting powder bc I don’t have any?

Thank you 🙏 ! I am very glad I found this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video! I learned much.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for this very clear and well illustrated video. Last spring I bought a small Clematis 'Henryi' plant with beautiful white blooms. I wasn't sure it would survive this winter since I grow in pots in zone 5a and have to put my perennials in our insulated garage (with mixed results). But miraculously it has some small buds this spring, so I will definitely use your propagating tips this year to grow more, as it seems like a hardy variety. Thank you so much for sharing this excellent video with us!
I love hearing people's stories. When you have a good plant variety and good plant stock, this is a good propagation technique. I with you all the best! They will not all succeed, so plant more than you want. My success rate has been between 25% and 30%.
Thank you for your encouragement and letting me know of your success rate with this technique. I definitely will plant extra. Thank you again for your help and sharing!
Excellent tutorial thanks.
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful.
Sooo glad this showed up. I'm moving from one state to another the Clematis I have in ground are 6 years old and didn't want to dig them up to take with me..this video is a great way for me to take my Clematis with me Thank You💖🌺
Good luck! The stem cuttings can be quite delicate in the beginning, so take care.
I moved mine from one area in the garden to another and it did great!
Se pueden sacar de raíz y llevarlas de una casa a otra. Lo hice más de una vez y no hay ningún problema
Thank you. I planted clematis for my wife and was looking to start more. Great info !
Good luck and happy gardening!
My purple clematis is now opening, going into July 2022. It is mixed in with a one time a year bloomer pink one. I tell my family, going to Lowe's to buy some more dead plants, plant, water and loving care they spring right back. Where you were setting looks so beautiful and peaceful :)
Thank you! I love the look of mixing climbers, and colors, up a trellis. This year I’ve tried both white Thunbergia and Cathedral Bells on the same trellis. I’m afraid the Thunbergia might bully out the Cathedral Bells, but we’ll see. Mixing colors of the same plant is more reliable.
Have a great summer!
I like ur garden very much 🌿as always u shared beautyful videos 🌷
Thank you.
Great instructions... clear and simple. Keep us updated . I would like to see how they grow.
Thanks. So far, so good!

Great information, I’m gonna try with some azaleas also. I love your garden also, especially the stone turtle 🐢.😍
I love trying new things too. Good luck! The stone turtle is a cutie. ☺️
Great video...thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
So nice to find you! Another RoseAnn who is a gardener. I garden 1/2 yr in zone 4 and 1/2 yr in zone 9B.
Hello RoseAnn! It sounds like you are a snowbird. How fun to garden in two such different zones. Other than Calla Lilies, I know very little of tropicals. Enjoy!
Great informative video. The soil needle you have to make the holes is called a Dibber but you refer to it as a Dibble which made me smile here in England. Not a criticism at all just wanted to make you aware. Once again great video and we will try replanting our Clematis cuttings. Stay safe and well. 🙂
🙂 . I've never seen a dibber here in the US, but treasure it as a souvenir from my trip to England. I appreciate the correction!
Glad you enjoyed the video and all the best with your clematis cuttings!
Thanks so much for info.I’m looking forward to giving it a try. Maybe I will have better luck
I wish you all the best with your Clemstis!
Great video!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! Thanks! And by the way, I love your hair :)
Oh thank you! 🌺 ☺️🌿
Very helpful.
Thank you.
Glad to hear it! 🌹
Thank you so much .
You're most welcome! 🌱
Awesome video. Wow, that's along time to root, but they're expensive plants to buy. Thanks!!
Thank you! They do take a while to root, but as you say, it's worth it.
Never thought of taking cuttings from my clematis. I'll have to try this. I don't have a grow light. Looks like I need to invest on one later this year. Thanks for the video. :)
Grow lights are great garden tools. You might start using it for other things too...like growing herbs in the winter. Good luck!
@@RosannesGarden thanks for those tips. :)
That was great! Thank you!

Glad to hear it. Good luck!
Good video.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
That’s an intersting way. Do you have an update on the growth? Would love to see the roots or new growth!
Hi, this batch is already given away or planted in our back yard by our garden shed. I had about 8 or 9 cuttings survive. Here's a link to a video with some of the grown-up cuttings.
Jackmanii comes in at 7:03.

I did not believe it was possible to do this,but last autumni snippedcuttings growing over car park wall. Could not believe my eyes when they started growing. 1 in flower now one inch Montana which is very vigorous, the other is a small yellow autumn/ winter flowering type , they kept alive over winter. From Scotland. Before this have purchased clematis plants which died.
Greetings to Scotland! Wow, that is so great to hear! It's so rewarding, in many ways, to propagate our own plants. Thanks for commenting!
I like clematis flower.. you have an amazing garden. Its awesome.
Thank you! Clematis are beautiful.
I’m working with autumn clematis. I’ve tried seeds, two years that failed. I cut some from.a neighbor who was going to tear it down. First time I had a complete failure. I succeeded in planting a weed of some kind. Today I tried to more cuttings. I didn’t get any old wood. I hope it works this time. Thanks for putting up this video.
You are quite welcome. I wish you to the best on your cutting project!
im pretty new to gardening snd flowers if grown and watered quite a few things I thought were flowers that turned out to ve weeds lol. but getting better at being avle to tell which are good and not now
Hi. Great video. I live in SE Minnesota so have similar weather as you obviously. Maybe I missed it, but when do you plant your new plants? Do you keep them inside over winter or plant them in late fall? Thanks a lot.
Hi Minnesota neighbor! I overwinter the cuttings indoors under grow lights over the winter. It gives me something to nurture before I get going with seedlings. If they were ready (roots visible on the bottom of the pot), I'd rather plant them outdoors though.
Beautiful))

This is very clear and helpful. Thank you. I had to pull out an entire clematis that was overtaking a rose of Sharon. I couldn't get the entire length of the roots, but a good deal of the root clump is still together. Could I cut off the top of the plant and regrow it in potting soil? Thanks again
Hi Laura. I'm glad you found the video helpful! If I were you, I would most certainly try to replant your clematis. They are pretty tough and it probably will do just fine. As you say, cut off the top of the plant so the roots don't try to support all the green. Potting soil should also help. Good luck! 🌿
This was very informative and I'd like to try it. If you start the cuttings in the fall, what do you do with them after they root? Can you plant them outdoors before winter ? I live in Quebec where winters are harsh.
Great. I wish you all the best on it . I keep the cuttings under grow lights all winter and plant them in early spring. It is work, and a little nerve-wracking going on winter vacations, but well worth it.
Rosanne is the expert But ! here in England I bought a heated propagator $16 US and I can leave my plants , (I go to Morocco, like you go to Florida)! all winter. The humidity stays inside and by Spring they have rooted and starting to grow !
Interesting 🙌
😊
I just found your video and plan to try this with my Huldine clematis in the fall (zone 5b) - like you I enjoy gardening under my lights in the winter as well. What rooting powder do you recommend?
Hi, I'm so pleased that you are trying this with your Huldine. They are so gorgeous! As to your question, I just use a general blend that I bought at my local nursery. I don't think they had choices. I've had it for years.
Good luck with your Huldine!
This is definitely good to know. I have a Lady Kyoko in bloom right now and she is beautiful! Thank you for all your information. I will have to give it a go here in Texas.
Wonderful! All the best with the Lady!
I’m wondering…after they root? Do you plant them outside? Or keep them indoor through the winter?
I live in MN zone 4 also and garden much like you. Taking many cuttings, and saving seeds. But I have never tried clematis cuttings. Thank you for sharing your good advise 😉
Hi neighbor! I do keep them indoors all winter long. I have grow lights and actually enjoy the winter "hobby" of nurturing for them. Glad you found the video helpful! 🌺
Thanks for sharing this informative video! Can we propagate clematis in spring?
Good question, I’ve never tried it, because the stems of the clematis aren’t just right; I like them to be semi-green/semi woody. If you have a spring blooming variety, which tends to have woody stems, I’d give it a try. good luck! Do remember, that the success rate is about 25 to 30% for me. So plant more than you need.
Love this video! I assume once they are well rooted after 10-12 weeks you just continue to winter them over under the grow lights until safe to plant in spring? Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, you are correct. I over winter them under lights until the following spring. It's not ideal, but workable.
😄 I may use a kabob stick BUT I am sooo excited to try this! When will it be safe to plant outside & make it through a winter?
Great. I'm glad you're going to try it! Chopsticks work too. 😉. But I love my garden toys.
What a lovely lady. Loved your easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much. I've just planted Nelly Moser, Warsawski Nike and Hagley Hybrid and would love to take cutting when the time comes. I'm in Ireland and wondered if taking cuttings is done at the same time of year as the USA, can you advise please. Again, thank you so much ☘☘
Greetings to Ireland! I'm so pleased you found the video helpful. I would say that you could take cuttings as soon as some of the stems begin to harden and get somewhat "woody". I have found they have the greatest likelihood of success. So, not being that familiar with your growing season, I would imagine you could do that in the July/August timeframe. My Jackmanii are almost at that point now. Your selection of Clematis sound lovely! 🌺🌿🌺
@@RosannesGarden That sounds like great advice, I will try in August. Many thanks again for your tutorial and reply ☘☘
Halo, I just did 2 rounds of clematis propagating in the summer. All not successful. They were all done indoor (it was too hot outdoor), similar to your method showed but with a plastic dome cover with opening. Second round I added heat pad. Both not successful.
That’s a wonderful video you showed. I am going to try using grow light.
I am so sorry to hear about your experience with Clematis. I'm sure the grow lights will help. But, be sure to give them less light if the leaves start showing brown patches. Getting the light right is important, but especially with Clematis. All the best!
Rosannes Garden Thank you for the tips!
Thank you! How was your success rate on this tray? Are they in the ground and thriving now? Did you keep these inside under grow lights like this all winter and then plant them in the ground the following spring? I'm wondering if I could put some in the ground now?? I have a good sized deep purple clematis that I'd love to spread around the yard. I LOVE THEM!!!!
Greetings fellow clematis lover! It’s been a few years now, and I believe I had about 10 healthy plants come from that tray. I planted three of them to make a nice large clematis cluster in the garden. It is featured in my vines and climber video. I think it’s #1. After I took the cuttings, which I did at the end of summer, I put them under grow lights for winter. It might seem like a lot of work, but I love some gardening to do during the winter months and enjoy nurturing the little guys. It is a wonderful way to clone a really good plant. I wish you all the best! You could certainly try cuttings now and planting them - that’s a fun thing about gardening - trying new things and seeing if they work. 🌿🌞🌹
What kind of vine is that on the other side of your door over the hydrangea? Thanks for sharing the tip to plant the something at the base to shade the roots. I would have never thought of that!
Hi, the vine is a cypress vine. It's really quite lovely. Here's a link to a little blog I did on it.
rosannesgarden.com/?s=cypress+vine
Glad you liked the tip!
You could even put some stones or rocks down
Thanks for the video! I’ve taken some cuttings today, hoping I’m not too early but ah well it’s all about experimenting
Hi Chloe, I just saw your comment now. Thanks for your comment. I hope your cuttings turned out healthy? How did it go?
@@RosannesGarden hi! They turned out great thanks. Almost all kept their moisture and grew healthy roots! Excited to get back in the garden this year. Thanks for your reply

So Nice ❤❤❤ 👌👌👌👌
Thanks 🤗
What was your success rate? I love clematis. I wish I could do a garden tour of your yard. Too bad I'm in CA.
We ended up with nine good plants. Overall, I was pleased. Gardening in California seems wonderful. All the best.
Hi, great video! I am from Villa la Angostura, Argentina...and I have a clematis that I would like to propagate...at what time have you made the cuttings, in the spring? and another query has tried to propagate clematis from air layering? Greetings from Argentina!
Greetings to Argentina! I propagate mine in the late summer when the vines are becoming woody. I'm not sure how cold it gets in your winter, but here, I overwinter the cuttings indoors under a grow light. In a more moderate climate, you could try keeping them or moving them outdoors. I know nothing about air layering...but now I'm curious 😉
I never knew you could do this! I’m just wondering how long it takes for the plants to be big and strong enough to plant in the actual garden? I see that you’re doing this in September? When would they go into the ground? Thank you for the video. 😊
Hi! I over-winter them indoors and plant in the spring. I feature one of my root cuttings in the following video
ua-cam.com/video/Mb2FQaQ1iLk/v-deo.html
This clematis in the video took about two years to grow to five feet tall. I used two plants for the trellis in the video. Hope that helps. Good luck!
When do you plant them in the garden? As soon as they have roots or in the spring?
I nurture them until the spring, when I can plant them safely outdoors. I enjoy taking care of the plants over the winter. It's rewarding.
What if I don’t have a growing light where can I put them?
Thank you. I have a friend with a flourishing plant. Should I wait until September to take cuttings? I am in Arkansas.
Once the new stems start getting a little tougher/woodier, the cuttings should work well. Being that you are further ahead in your growing season, I imagine you could start in July, maybe even now. Remember to take more cuttings than you want in the end, as some won't take. Good luck!
Hi, Beautiful garden.
Couldn't you put them on a sunny porch?
Thanks! I imagine a sunny porch could work, as long as it wasn't too drafty. I've never tried it, because I haven't a sunny porch, but I do have grow lights. Give it a try!
I’m not surprised at your success rate ! What is the brand of your shears? Just what I’m looking for.
Thanks! Those little snips are great. I love them. I believe they were originally sold as rose snips. I bought them from Smith and Hawkin. Good luck on your hunt.
I had 2 clematis and lost both of them I think to rabbits, but my mom has some and I think I will see if we can try this out. They are a beautiful vine.
I'm so sorry to hear about your clematis! But, trying cuttings from your mom's clematis sounds like a great plan. All the best!
Her pronunciation of roots had me in fits.... rhutz as opposed to ruuutez in the UK . I never knew about the growing lights.... thanks.
;-)
It’s different all over the US, even within a single city there can be many accents and mispronunciations.
Two “o”s = oooh/ō, the long “o” sound. Roots, roof, boots, etc., but we hear a lot of “rutz”, “ruff”, “butz”, though somehow people seem to manage the word “boots” better than the roots and roof.
Creek is another ear-scraper. Two “e”s = the long vowel sound, but a lot of people in small towns say “crick”.
Small-town folks (or uneducated city folks) leave the “t”s out of nearly everything as well... kitten, curtain, winter, and mountain all become ki’-enn, or ki’-unn;
cur’-unn: win’-er; and mou’-unn or moww’-unn (rhymes with the word “wow”).
And yes, they will look at you as though YOU are the one mispronouncing the words, if you include the vowels and consonants, and pronounce them all correctly. Or they conclude that you are “uppity”.
They just about fall off their chair if they hear the letter “T” enunciated. You just might be able to put them into a state of shock if you said “kittens with mittens in the mountains in the wintertime”...
Miss Kim I’m sure, and I have yet to discover.... charming as it was surprising.
Jessica John, Yes, and despite all the variations, we can all still understand each other pretty well.
From across the pond wven with their Cockney, Geordie, etc. accents, to the US with their endless regional accents and Brooklyn, Jersey, Creole, and all of them in between, it all just helps us better understand foreign speakers for whom English is a 2nd, 10th, or 20th language.
I like all the variations, and when Americans get a bit too snobby about a foreign accent or a little broken English, I simply ask them how well they speak their chosen second or third language,; or, as they’re rudely pretending not to understand a foreign visitor who is speaking perfectly easy-to-understand English, I ask them how well they spoke Russian when they went to Moscow, or French when they went to Paris last year.
Shuts them right up. We all know the singular answer to all those questions. :)
Jessica John i see pronunciation of different word like an accent. Like Roof and Ruff (for the top of a house). It’s how a person says it identifies where they are from.
Didnt know you could do this🙂
Yes, aren't plants wonderful! They just want to stay alive and reproduce.
