Should You Score Cuttings? Plant Propagation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- Scrape a little extra skin or bark from the base of your cuttings? It's sometimes called "scoring" and it's a common bit of plant propagation advice. As with so many methods, the answer of whether you should give it a try comes down to the variety, and your willingness to experiment. I find that most shrubs and perennials root fairly easily with basic techniques, and without scraping. If I get good results without the extra handling, why change it up? Because there are likely difficult-to-root varieties where this method will make the difference between success and failure.

Thank you Jason. 🌲💚🙃
You’re awesome. I always appreciate your honesty and sincerity.. ❤
Ive done my cuttings both ways I didn't really see any difference. I do like trying different things with my cutting just to see what happens once in while i get a surprise.Have a great day
Good question. I have always scored all cuttings but not so much with softwood. Going to try a test on some hardwood cuttings, some with a score and some without. Curious to see what happens. Thanks Jason!
Good point - and I think in general the softer the stem, the less useful suspect it'll be. Herbaceous perennials and annuals tend to root so quickly and reliably from stem cuttings that I definitely wouldn't bother fussing with them.
“And because it’s a mini, it lacks basic common sense-“ 😂😂 I think you could say that about more than just roses! Mini dogs, children 😅
Lol!
Thank you.
I really appreciate all of your helpful videos, especially the ones on propagation and also the companion flowers videos. You are a wealth of knowledge.
Thanks so much!
What a beautiful mini rose bush!
I've always did it that way and it seems 2 wrk!
Wow, I was surprised 2 c how many babies u have on yr table of just roses.
How exciting... I'm so hoping u will start sending 2 the east coast. I wld love 2 have some u r growing yrself and ones I can view on yr utube channel.
Which Im happy 4 you at how much u have done 2 create more of a garden atmosphere.
Im sure it's s going 2b even more beautiful next late spring and into summer! 😍
Thanks so much - it's the first year we got close to our (current) bench capacity for overwintering. We're excited for the coming growing season!
Para mim esse canal é w "bíblia"das rosas ..😊
Muito obrigado
Jason thanks for this information. I have found many people and propagation books recommending the 'scoring' technique. I have used it with some success but many failures as well. It never occurred to me that scoring could also introduce possible rotting issues. This year I will try both methods and see what happens.
I've been doing Aerial Rooting using "those" Pods with about 70% success rate (up until the last month or so as we've had about 150mm of Rain & lots of them failed).
Usually it's not until I cut them, that's when I struggle most at keeping the Rot away! Well, that & Kids with Soccer or Footballs destroying them!
Nice - that's a good success rate (rot and soccer balls notwithstanding!)
Should I place them inside the green house with light ?
If you're trying to do semi-hardwood cuttings with winter coming. Otherwise you could switch to the hardwood method
Depends on what it is.. But important stuff definitely gets scored.
Thanks for sharing your take on it!
Hi Jason, I‘ve been really getting into propagating roses during the past year thanks to your videos :) Now my question is how do I find out if I‘m actually allowed to propagate a certain variety? I‘ve read that they have to be older ones but I can‘t find official numbers for some reason…
Call it 20 years from US introduction and you're pretty safe. Helpmefind will usually list the intro dates.
Thank you Jason. I have a climbing rose I want to propagate the stem is turned red preparing for winter. Is there a certain number of days I should wait until cutting or wait until the buds swell?
For flowering stems I assess based on the firmness of the wood. Near the tip you may be able to bend (or kink) without much resistance - that's too soft. A little further back you'll find wood that is semi-ripe: difficult to bend much without feeling like it would snap.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Will give it a try!
hi, i live in zone 8a,Temperate marine climate，Belgium,do i need to strip rose leaves?i see some people do it some don't.
if yes ,when shall i do it?
Given your location, and the time of year assume you mean over winter, as the ross approach dormancy. I usually leave the cold weather to encourage leaf fall, and do a strip and cleanup just before or at the time of late-winter pruning, to reduce the risk of carry-over disease. Sooner would be fine if you have the time and a nice day for it, but it's less work for you if you let nature knock some down
Jason, not a question about scoring but on the size of the propagation plants you showed at the end of the video in the greenhouse.
I have successfully gotten a Belinda rose to take root in a sand base approximately same size pot. Followed your advice on August 6th and it has grown and looks similar to yours. (,Not as dark green but definitely a good first start). Question. Should I keep it growing inside (I do have the small heated greenhouse and a southern exposure sunroom) or do I let it go dorment in my hoop house with other perennials.
I don't think I should shock it by potting up this time of year but not sure about keeping through winter or letting it go dorment 🤔🌹 Thank you! After watching your videos for over a year I feel very successful with this rose cutting.🤗🌹👍
Nicely done! It's always a tough call - rooted from August 6 means it's had something like 15 weeks to put some roots on. Roses I rooted at the same time will go through my zone 8 winter with minimal protection, but I do have back-up heat available in case we get extreme cold at some point. The safest, of course, is to keep it in active growth - and it sounds like you have good options for that.
Hi Jason, I have a general question about cuttings and I'd love your take on it. Atm I have perennial cuttings about 3 months old. They're in a cold greenhouse. My question is will a young plant like that die back above soil like older plants. Some have "died" but most have not. Thanks
Yes, they generally will once they've had enough cold.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks v much .
Hi Jason, I have done it both ways and it didn’t make a difference for me. A quick update about the last propagation project of the modified newspaper approach: only two actually made roots. The others got stuck in the callous stage and then got knocked over by the cat 😅. On a happier note, I discovered quite by accident, oddly enough, that the cuttings that I had haphazardly stuck in the dirt close to the original mother plant all had taken roots and survived! I’m testing the process again. I think the mother plant roots may be the key in sustaining the cuttings.
Thanks for the update!
The only place where ive seen a difference is with cuttings that don't have a node close by. In particular, long stemed plants with large spaces between leaf and bud nodes.
Sometimes I will take tip cuttings, like Camellia Sinensis in late fall when the stems are changing from soft to semi-hard wood during flower and seed development.
All I do is slide the cutting edge of the pruners at the end of the stem, just enough to expose a thin line of cambium.
It seems to bring the response as if it were a first node at the bottom of the stem.
Like all cuttings, some work and others don't, but if it helps increase success, it's worth the effort.
In most cases I rarely see much of a difference.😉🤙
Thanks - and it's good to hear examples of where it improves your chances.
I bought a bunch of long stem roses over weekend. I remembered you mentioned that in Australia most likely I can’t propagate roses from cut flowers but I’d still want to give it a try. It has lots of big dense thorns on it. Do I need to get rid of those thorns?
I don't strip the thorns.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks for your reply
What substrate and root hormone do you choose please?
I use StimRoot #2 at 0.3% IBA. The potting soil is often ProMix, but I'm adaptable to any light potting mix.
What brand of secateurs are those, please?
They're off-brand - a decent Chinese copy of Felco
my rose cuttings put new growth 2days after putting them in soil but no roots and die after a week. what could be the reason for that?
If it's happening that fast, it's not your conditions but rather the firmness (or stage of growth) of the stem at the time of cuttings. This is what you might expect if you take cuttings from the soft new shoots with already swollen buds. They're growing and shooting quickly, so it's hard to convince them to slow down and spend energy on rooting. You may want to target firmer wood from a slightly more mature stem or the same stem but further down. It should still be somewhat bendable, but not so soft as the tips - with tight green buds at the leaf node. They can't shoot as quickly, so they're a better bet for rooting.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks man you are the best
Do you grow the Ebb Tide rose?
No, I don't have Ebb Tide in my collection
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I always found it to be a nice color. Very unique. I know very little about Rose standardization so it isn’t like I’ve grown them or anything. You are definitely the expert I was just asking.
I'd swear they're "Brindabella Swoon"
@@Micko350 got me swooning
Can you clone a rose branch that has flowers on it?
Yes
You bet. A budded or blooming rose is a good sign that that the stem supporting it is (at least partly) in the semi-hardwood stage I prefer.

Whoa- a counterfeit tool? Lots of those around. 😢 Please get a REAL Felco! Your podcasts are so good- it’s a shame to see that rip-off counterfeit when the real Felco deserves our business. Besides, the counterfeit won’t perform like the real deal nor support the replacement parts Felco offers.
No, not a counterfeit insofar as it makes no attempt to disguise or mark itself as Felco - but I'd say "knock off" somewhat fair, as it's quite similar in design and even weight. But let's also be real: Felco holds no special ownership over bypass pruners as a category - and there are plenty of other reputable brands in the space with quite a similar design. I do have a number of Felcos and they're quite good, so no issue giving them their due. These ones seem to hold their edge a little better (at the expense of peak sharpness, I feel) - something to do with the steel. Anyway, there's no conflict so far as I can figure in using tools from different companies
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you!
@@KimClark-1 I have found the bahco pxr pruners superior to felcos , stay sharper longer. less finicky adjustment, more ergonomic, more choice of handle, blade and spring size, only drawback is they are harder to find
@@lokeshgreen245Thank you, I have not heard of Bahco before. It doesn’t surprise me that there are other excellent manufacturers in the world. Felco does have a huge assortment of secateurs including ergonomic models. But my original question (below) was what brand of secateurs he was using and his reply was that it was a Chinese knock-off of Felco, hence my later response. BTW, my Felco 2 has lasted me over 10 years of professional use and the only part I have needed to replace was the bushing. That cost me about $6. Thanks again for your response and thank you Fraser Valley Rose Farm for this excellent channel!
