Brilliant! By far the clearest, non-bullshit video about cuttings I have watched, and guess what? I just re-potted my first successful cuttings ever, made thanks to your advice, thank you from France!
My great great grandmother planted a lot of rose bushes and most have all died we now have only 2 remaining my family wants to take them out and I’m wanting to save them they are over 50 years old and your video made me feel like I can save them.
Excellent. Thanks. Bookmarked. A fun activity. Throughout the growing season I don’t toss away some of my rose clippings. I make a cutting (takes a few seconds) and stick it into a pot of annuals and ‘forget about it’. By October or so, I end up with a couple dozen cuttings that have rooted, ( many don’t). I pot these up together in a few larger pots, place in the unseated garage. This isn’t ‘in place of’ my regular cutting but just a fun side activity. I also do this with clematis and a few others. Discovering a forgotten cutting is a momentary thrill and the Eventual mature rose becomes all the more special.
Thanks for the instruction. I've had partial success rooting rose cuttings, but I didn't know about the timing, the semi-hardwood vs hardwood, or the leaf removal. Great tips! And, I'll start disinfecting my pruners. I was able to get rose cuttings from my mother-in-law's yard to root. Then they sold her home, so it meant a lot to me.
Thanks Frazer for the great ideas!!!! I will start my cuttings this September , i got about 100 Roses in our garden and i usually buy those in pots and transferred it in th ground... Learning from your ideas ,save more money !!!! More power and God Bless
I have been rooting cuttings for three seasons now. I did pick up some great information from you. I love your site.I hope you keep making videos you should have a spot on television.
Thank you! You demystified the process. I have a mess of rosa rugusa (sp) way out back of our property. They have the biggest hips in the word and I want them closer. I think, after watching your fine video, that I will not hesitate to take the cuttings. Thanks again. Great video, good voice, nice content.
Hi. I like to watch your videos I love Ross I have 4 in my garden, I was trying to grow Ross from cutting, it will starts leaves and then they go black, I do put cups on top to make it like green house., I was succeeded on two or 3 of them, I keep them in my garage window have a lot of light.
Hello! Thank you for the very informative video! What I always ask myself though (as I have very, very little experience): does it take only one (succesful) cutting to get a full grown plant in a few years? Because the ones I buy or see in my garden have at least 3 or 4 stems, and I always think plants (not only roses) from cuttings will only have the one...
Great video. Thank you, the information is excellent. Everything you need to know to root cuttings... I am doing some spring pruning and buds have just broke on mine bushes. Am trying to root some of the pruning just for fun.

How do you maintain the ideal temp.and humidity in greenhouse throughout the different seasons?Notice greenhouse sides are open.Also,what varieties will thrive in tropical Guyana?Thanks.
I open sides, use shade cloth, and timed mist to keep the humidity up/temps under control. I'm sorry I don't have any experience with growing roses in a tropical climate. I can say stay away from the albas & some of the old once-blooming roses that require a winter, but that's pretty obvious. Most of the modern reblooming (tea type) roses have a lot of sub-tropical genetics in them, but I can't say which ones will take the warmth best.
I’m hoping you see this. I received a bouquet of roses awhile ago. Shoots grew out of 3 of the flower stems from in between leaf and stem. Are they viable? They are in water now. Still growing. Should I just pot in soil and see what happens? TY for your generous sharing of experience in your videos
Always worth a try - and there's no way for me to guess if they'll be viable. The shoots aren't necessarily a good sign, as you really would like to see rooting first.
Thank you for teaching us propagate roses! I have a 1 year 7 month rose cutting in a container, and I like to transplant to the ground, could you tell me please, do I have to prune this plant before transplanting? And can I take cutting from it? I'm in zone 7B. Thanks again!
Nice! Myself, I only prune young roses if I want to improve branching or shape (or if I want some cuttings!). It's not necessary to prune just for transplanting. Cuttings from it would work fine so long as they're harvested at the right firmness for your technique.
Thanks for great videos. Can you tell me, if i take a rose cutting from a climbing rose, will it grow as a climber or does it need to be grafted onto a briar type toot stock Thanks Margie
Thanks for the great question. Cuttings taken from climbers are still climbers - and for me, they've all performed quite well on their own roots. That said, there may be cultivars that grow weaker or perform poorly in a particular soil type on their own roots. It's a matter of taking the cuttings and growing them out to see their vigor - but for me, so far, it's been 100%
Thank you for this posting Jason. In addition to roses I'm going to try this technique on Fragrant Sweet Box (Sarcococca ruscifolia), hydrangeas, boxwood and oleanders. I'll keep you posted on the results of the experiment.
Have you had a chance since your comment, to get boxwood cuttings? I took boxwood cuttings from the spring shoots of a friend's boxwood about 12 years ago and they are growing very well, nice and bushy. I recommend trimming them into a box shape at about year 6. They grow much better when pruned well.
Hi Jason. Ash here from Queensland Australia. I love this video and have watched it many times. I'm very keen to try semi hardwood rose cuttings. Can you tell me if doing them in February would be the right timing for me. Thanks Ash
Thanks Ash. Sounds reasonable to me. Basically, any time you see a lot of blooms in the garden, that's about the right time for some of the wood (just behind the bud or bloom) to be in the semi-hardwood stage. I'm sure that's a fairly wide season in Queensland. It may be more difficult to manage high temperatures for the cuttings during your hottest months, so if you can get a jump-start in November (assuming there are blooms) that might be a good idea.
Hi Robert - It's a (relatively) inexpensive way to top a treated wood frame, and of course, water drains through and there's good air circulation around the trays. Yes, this mean they'll dry out quicker, which is a mixed blessing: my young seedling and rooted cuttings establish beautifully with this excellent drainage and evaporation, but once the plants fill the pots, I have a tough time keeping them watered so I move them to the floor.
Hi I love your video thank you so much . My question is can you propagate the roses that are sold in the stores? I have try several time and they get a white fungus and turn black .. Also can you propagate mini roses???
Thanks so much Cecilia. Yes, roses sold in stores (as cut flowers I assume you mean) are possible - and you can see my video on the difference in process here: ua-cam.com/video/gROmGmbJYeU/v-deo.html Also, minis are usually easy to root - the cuttings taken a bit on the "soft" side of semi-hardwood root quite quickly.

I did cuttings on my roses i used honey to root faster but it just died. Any tips on what to do next time? Thanks!
Honey is an interesting idea, but I haven't tested it myself yet. I guess the concept is that the anti-fungal/anti-bacterial properties of honey will protect the base of the cuttings from rot. My initial thoughts are that you'd be better off working with a sterile potting mix and using a rooting hormone to encourage faster callus.
Great video. Thank you so much. After failing few times I have successfully done it where my cuttings have started sprouting. My question is this. I did the cuttings in plastic cups, mostly in non-nutritive well draining medium (some mostly sand and bark), so how or when do I transplant in bigger container ? Use regular soil when I transplant ? Ideal time of the year to do it ? Do I feed NPK while still in plastic cup ? I am afraid I'll lose then if I try to transplant without this knowledge. I got them sprout in a tote in my garage
Congratulations! The cups have drain holes, right? The safest thing is to feed the rooted cuttings with a dilute liquid feed. Mix at half strength at first until the roots are well established, then to full strength - you can alternate one watering with liquid feed, next watering with just plain water. Do this until the roots are firmer and easier to handle. Usually, I even wait until the following spring. Then pot into a regular/coarse potting mix. I use a low rate of incorporated slow-release fertilizer, but you can also continue to liquid feed.
Hi Sheila. What have you got to lose? If they're already setting roots, there's a good chance you can establish the "cutting" as a shrub in your garden. From there, you can decide if it's worth growing long-term.
Hi Jason, Can you please explain why my cuttings turn black even when I disinfect my pruners? I put a bag over my pot with the cutting. Could that be the reason? It would be great if you could do a whole video on why cuttings fail! Thank you for all the great videos. I'm a big fan :)
Thanks. I'll put it on the list. The black rot of the cuttings (usually from below the soil line) can indicate too much moisture - either in the potting soil or from trapped humidity. I can suggest a few things: 1) try not to wet the soil too much. It should be just moist, not soaked. The mist is to keep the foliage from drying out, not to water the soil. 2) Don't stick the cuttings too deep. The more stem section below the soil line, the greater the risk of rot. 3) Tweak your bag/tent to allow more air circulation. I know it's tough to balance, because if you leave it too open, the cuttings can dry out. I hope this helps! Please keep trying. I had a lot of the same problems when I was starting out under a tall humidity dome - and even now, I lose a % to rot.
Thank you so much :) I'm going to try all of your suggestions. I have a feeling I've been sticking them too deep. A few weeks ago I tried an experiment where I took some rose cuttings and dipped /washed them in a 5% bleach solution and recut the ends after the wash before sticking them ...and so far there's no rot on any of them and a few have new leaves. I don't know if I have roots yet but this is farther than I've gotten before. Thanks again for your fantastic videos. You'd make a great professor if you ever get tired of roses ;o)
Howdy, Jason! I was hoping to ask you a question about how to propagate roses without a greenhouse if you live in a climate that gets cold (6b for me) in winter. I've tried to be a good Fraser Valley Rose Farm student but haven't seen--or must have missed--any video tips on how to propagate without a greenhouse. I do recall, at least I think I do, a video where you mentioned briefly that when you were starting you were just using pots in the yard. A greenhouse is not a very practical solution for me, given the land I have, but I really would love to be successful at rose propagation. Would you be willing to create a video with some of those tips? Or, if you've already made one, could you be so kind as to point me towards it? I've watched a significant portion of your videos, as mentioned, but the greenhouse always seems to be a key component. Thanks in advance for all the wisdom you share! -David
Thanks David. I've also done a fair bit of propagation in humidity domes and indoors under lights. Maybe the most basic example is my lavender video ua-cam.com/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/v-deo.html but you can also find various videos on my indoor propagation setup in the main propagation playlist on my channel's home page. If you wanted to adapt the humidity dome method for use outdoors, it's not a problem, but the trick is finding a location outdoors that gets bright indirect light - full sun on the new cuttings in the dome will likely overheat and stress the cuttings. I've seen gardeners create a space like this by hanging shade cloth as well. The hardwood cutting techniques I sometimes use for roses (and I demonstrate them in protected areas) are traditionally also carried out in outdoor areas (directly in the soil) with little change to the method.
I'm going to be real honest and say the potato thing never seemed like a good idea to me (compared with other propagation techniques). That said, I'll try anything once! How about a side-by-side comparison between spud and sterile potting mix? Until I'm proven wrong though, I'd recommend the propagation mix.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm Sterile ? Do I mix my own soil mix using peat moss and perlite then putting it in microwave ? What would be an ideal soil for this purpose and how do I go about sterilizing it ?
@@Dee_Cee227 most old school folk back in the day put it in a low oven in trays and place in a low oven for 1 to 2 hours to kill bugs Patagonian type molds etc my grandad did this for raspberry cuts and it worked well look up a TV program on UA-cam its title is the Victorian kitchen garden harry Dobson. it's old school but its very educational .from Burt in the UK
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I've tried the potatoe several times and had zero success, all times😊! There was this old man in Florida🌴 who used to root rose cuttings in sand! He'd scoop up some sand, throw it in a bucket, add water, then insert the hardwood cutting! I could never replicate his method. Thanks for your tutorial!😎💜🙌
Hi! Need some advise: I planted some 20-25 cuttings that are now 5 weeks old in one part of the world (US) and want to "move" them to Europe. Do you think they will keep a 20h flight assuming I will transport them in a recipient with some humid soil on the roots? What advise do you have for the move to be successful? Thanks!
Hi Ana. I don't think it should set them back much, as you suggest, transported wrapped in a moist medium. I might warn you to check the regulations of the destination country - there are often import restrictions on plant material, and particularly on soil. Sometimes it takes an inspection or phytosanitary certificate from the USDA office to get past customs. In any case, maybe look into it before you pack them up to travel.
I have several cuttings that I started in early June. They look very healthy. What should I do with them over the winter months? I live in MA. Do I leave them outside protected from the snow? Do I take them inside into the living area of the house where it is 70 degrees? Should they go into a 3 season enclosed porch where it ranges in temps from ~36 or greater? Thanks for your help
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm The enclosed porch has a lot of windows but is on the north side. Do you recommend a grow lamp? or is the natural light fine for the winter? Can this plant be transplanted outside during the upcoming spring or do I need to wait a year until the following spring. Thanks so much
Hello there! Very grateful for sharing your knowledge. I have several rose cuttings in small pots for two weeks. They are now sprouting. Does that mean they are good and rooting too? Thank you
Not necessarily. It's kind of a race: the roots need to develop on pace with the new shoots. If the shoots "win", forming leaves etc. before the roots develop, the cutting may transpire more water than it can take up (and die!). I suspect the roots need more time. You can gently check to see if a callus has formed at the bottom of the cuttings. If so, provide mist or humidity and cross your fingers...
hi man . i have questions is there any way to NOT using hormone after cutting? next question is , what different between using hormone , and Not using it? and third question is what is the Specifications of that hormone that you used? thank so much
Hi Ali. Sure, I've tried lots of different hormone formulations, and sometimes without any at all. The difference is small but noticeable. On an easy-to-root variety, you might not notice any improvement at all. In general, I'd say my rate is improved by about 10% with rooting powder, gel or liquid. Right now I use Stim-Root #2 which is 0.4% IBA (in the video I was using a liquid, I think, but the results are about the same). I've found the the proper mist/humidity and temperature is way more important to success than the hormone.
I live in Houston and it's very hot here at the moment, 34 c right now at 7:50 pm. Should I plant my Peggy Martin cuttings in the ground now, or wait until temperatures cool down in a couple of months? They are almost 3 months old now. Both of them have a few leaves and haven't grown in length, maybe an inch or so. It might rain a lot on Saturday, so I need advice if I should plant them or it's too hot for them? My backyard garden, where I will plant them, is very sunny and northeast facing. Not much shade.
Informative video. You didn't mention not being able to propagate brand name roses such as Proven Winner roses that have a copyright. ( I think that's the word. ), especially if you sell them. I imagine it's OK if you do for your own garden.
Hi Gary - between growing space and stock plants, approximately 2000 sq. ft. (185 sq. meters). I use a lot more than this because I keep stock plants for far too many varieties. That's the plant collector/hobbyist in me. If I focused down onto the 20 or 25 varieties with the best sales, I could fit into the 2000 sq. ft area no problem.
Enjoyed your video. Some years ago, my cousin created a rose hedge by taking cuttings and just sticking them in the ground. Is it legal to grow and sell roses by taking cuttings8 from plants you purchased? I understood you need to have written permission because the plant was grown by someone (company) who has a legal ownership.
I made a quick vid on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/940Plg82sfM/v-deo.html Short answer: the plant patent period (if registered) is around 20 years. After that, anyone is allowed to propagate the variety.
Hi I live in the UK and fir the last 12 years I have tried without any success to root a certain rose. I have tried every method on UA-cam but nothing has worked..the rose in question is the most remarkable pi nk scented rose found in my local park.. every year for the last 12 years I have been given cuttings but not one has root..they send leaves then die. I tried putting them under a bottle dome used coco soil, used sand , used different roosting hormones ..keep indoors by window, kept out, but nothing works. I gave given up. As I don't know the name of the rose I can't purchase one as don't know the name..helppp Fraser..please. Thanks
For semi-hardwood, you should wait. When the stems are flowering (or just after) and they're not so easy to bend, you'll know they're at their best for this method.
Great vid Jason, my first attempt at cuttings is going well, they are in small containers and just starting to get some tiny leaves, it will be spring here in Australia in another month, should I repot them into larger pots or leave them where they are?
Thanks. How are the roots? If fully rooted, it should be no problem up-potting them now. I do the same thing, repotting at the end of winter to take full advantage of early spring growth. BTW, I just (today) put together a more detailed version of the video you commented on. It's longer, but it answers a lot of the common questions: ua-cam.com/video/211r10Jj_OY/v-deo.html
How are you able to keep the leaves till they root, cause i struggle with that, Is it not misting long enough, cause my intervals are 10min duration 2 secs due to saturated soil if its longer than that. or maybe increase my preasure for a finer mist.
Thanks for your video, you mentioned that it was recorded in September and you have other cuttings that you have been taking for the past two to three months, does this mean that you have been taking cuttings all the way through the summer? when is best to take cuttings? I live in the UK btw
Yes, because I do it as a business, I keep going all summer. My best time is late May/early June when there's plenty of growth in the right (semi-hardwood) stage and there's still a lot of time to root before winter.
FL grower here. I have some roses that grow like weeds - Louis Philippe & Mrs BR Cant for example. But others just sit and “exist”. They don’t die but they don’t flourish - Dames de Chenanceau, Ambridge, Heritage for example. What could kick start them? I fertilize. Use bone marrow. What’s missing?
@@perdidoatlantic that may be worth a try. Sometimes I'll put some of my slow-to-establish roses into my own "penalty box" area - potted, and with a bit of shade. You'll get a good idea of their root establishment that way. If they begin to perk up a bit, maybe try a liquid feed / foliar feed to see if they respond. Crossing my fingers for you!
Fraser Valley Rose Farm Thanks. I’ll do that. It’s a mystery why some do well and some don’t. I have a 1000 Beauty that’s about 20 feet across I’ve prob had 4-500 cuttings off. But another 1000 Beauty that barely grows. It’s hit & miss. Thanks!!
Hi Judy. Depends on your climate. If it's not super cold, you can shelter them outdoors. If you need more protection, I've done okay moving roses into an unheated shed/garage to overwinter.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm southern Ontario I think since this is my first time trying it I will put some in the garage and the others I will put right in the soil in their container and cover them with mulch
Great video! I have a question. What do you think about taking cuttings from suckers? I haven't tried it yet, but am about to since a couple of my rose bushes produced them.
Hi Tifa, dividing suckers from the main plant is super easy, and almost 100% successful for me. Just try to make sure that the bottom end has some formed roots - and the top end is not too long (one or two nodes above soil level is enough). Place in just damp potting mix in a shady spot until rooted. Which varieties? (if you don't mind me asking, one rose geek to another)
I accidentally took hardwood cuttings at beginning of warm spring in northern NSW Australia.... I am curious if it will still work even in warm weather? I treated it like semi hardwood, used rooting hormone. I feel a bit silly because it now appears what I took was actually hardwood. I hope I have not wasted them because it is such a lovely rose. I would appreciate any advice, like should I put humid cover over or leave open? Thanks ! 🌹
By the way it is a climbing rose. The plant is on a friend's property and has been neglected and looks rather unhealthy so I wanted to salvage it since it has such pretty flowers.
Yes, you still have a chance. Look up the "newspaper method" of rose propagation, and basically it's a hardwood technique in warmer weather. Watch for rot, but humidity definitely helps with the rooting.
Just wanted to say thanks, although I somehow your reply notification went into a random email folder so I did not see it till now 😅... And unfortunately I did lose the roses to rot. Hopefully better luck next time. I appreciate your advice. Thanks.
Hi Wendy. That's rough - and if your varieties are really susceptible, it may be an uphill battle. My initial tips are: prune for good air circulation (so the foliage dries quicker - the spores need moisture to germinate), remove infected foliage and stems, also remove fallen infected foliage. A coarse wood chip mulch around the base of the rose may also protect from reinfection. A winter spray of bordeaux mix may help to give you a clean start. In the season, 1tsp baking soda + 1/2 tsp horticultural oil in 1 liter (or 1 quart) of water as a full-coverage spray can help with prevention.
Thank you. I'll have to take a look at my rooting powder container and see what the ingredients are. I really do need some new rose bushes so I can take the older ones out. At the base, the canes (I think that's what they're called) are pretty old, plus a weed-tree entangled itself with one of my rose bushes. Oh, I almost forgot to ask you, what does IBA mean?
Hi Harmanpreet - early in the flowering season is best. When the rose is flowering, you should be able to find semi-hardwood stems ready. Once rooted (in perhaps 4 to 6 weeks) introduce a weak solution of fertilizer first, and then slowly transition to full strength over the next month or two.
Hi Jason...do you propagate miniatures, & if so do you have a video? Great channel & have learned so much about propagation, & enjoying much better success rates with my roses 😊
Nothing specific, but have a look at my lavender propagation video - as you could do mini roses with exactly the same method: ua-cam.com/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/v-deo.html
Wish I’d come across this video a while back. I took three cuttings of my only rose bush and they are soft wood cuttings because I thought they would have more chance of taking. It took about three weeks to get those white bits an the root end. Then it showed little signs of growth. Now it’s growing faster! I’ve separated the best one to its own pot (the only one I had), which is quite a large pot. Will I need to keep it warm this winter (bring it indoors), or will it be hardy enough outside? I haven’t got a greenhouse.
What's your climate like? If your winter comes early and is harsher than here, you might consider bringing it inside. With a relatively mild climate (like here), a somewhat sheltered outdoor location would probably be better.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm Scottish climate. Although it hasn’t been too cold for winter compared to earlier years. The plant looks better each day so maybe it’ll be ok by then. If I’m in doubt, I’ll take it into the kitchen. This is the first time I’ve ever taken a cutting of anything and I’m so pleased with the results so far!
Natalie Dodson Hi. No, I got a polly tunnel and put it in there and it even grew a single rose on it. Unfortunately, it is now looking a bit tired. I remembered something about the bush that it’s taken from, which might have something to do with it. The original bush was a memorial to our beloved cat, Sophie and it was a bush you could name, so we called the rose “Sweet Sophie”. I think it was grafted onto a rootstock. As far as I’m aware, this makes taking cuttings from it much more difficult to have the cutting fully established into a robust bush. The original bush we got now has healthy, glossy leaves and some buds. We thought it was dying because it had rotting petals and lost its lustre. I sprayed it with boiled garlic water and it is now looking very healthy. I think I’ll give the cutting a little rose food and see if it makes a difference. I’m not at all green-fingered so anything I learn is off UA-cam etc.
@@jazzman1626 Hi Jazzman thanks for getting back to me. Ah bless you, that's a coincidence we lost our dog in December she was my best friend Molly, she was a gorgeous Labrador and 15 so she was a good age. I bought a David Austin rose to remember her by and this is what I am thinking of doing is taking a cutting just in case I kill the original bush as her ashes are in it. I am new to gardening. If I get round to doing it I will let you know how I get on lol. That's a brilliant tip for roses I have never heard of that with garlic. I actually bought 3 David Austin's at once so I will remember that tip. I am impressed with them the scent on them all is heavenly. Plus they are so pretty. I would recommend them. 😁
My roses have some kind of dieback, and I've lost several I had no names for :( but which I loved. Any recommendations on propagation to save some of these? So far, cuttings have mostly died back rather than rooting, either with or without root hormone. I'd tried dipping half in an antiseptic solution, then rinsing and planting--so far, nothing's worked. Help!?
Brilliant! By far the clearest, non-bullshit video about cuttings I have watched, and guess what? I just re-potted my first successful cuttings ever, made thanks to your advice, thank you from France!
Thanks so much
so far the most professional training course of rose propagation I have had on UA-cam.
My great great grandmother planted a lot of rose bushes and most have all died we now have only 2 remaining my family wants to take them out and I’m wanting to save them they are over 50 years old and your video made me feel like I can save them.
I do hope you can rescue them - what a nice way to carry on a family tradition.
You can also get the seeds from them.
This guy is a pro, very impressive and informative, thank you!
Excellent. Thanks. Bookmarked.
A fun activity. Throughout the growing season I don’t toss away some of my rose clippings. I make a cutting (takes a few seconds) and stick it into a pot of annuals and ‘forget about it’. By October or so, I end up with a couple dozen cuttings that have rooted, ( many don’t). I pot these up together in a few larger pots, place in the unseated garage. This isn’t ‘in place of’ my regular cutting but just a fun side activity. I also do this with clematis and a few others. Discovering a forgotten cutting is a momentary thrill and the Eventual mature rose becomes all the more special.
Thanks Tom. I love your no-fuss method!
Thanks for the instruction. I've had partial success rooting rose cuttings, but I didn't know about the timing, the semi-hardwood vs hardwood, or the leaf removal. Great tips! And, I'll start disinfecting my pruners.

What I always ask myself though (as I have very, very little experience): does it take only one (succesful) cutting to get a full grown plant in a few years? Because the ones I buy or see in my garden have at least 3 or 4 stems, and I always think plants (not only roses) from cuttings will only have the one...
glad to know about the vinegar as a sterilizer for garden tools
Quick douse of diluted apple cider vinegar for the plant might be useful too! ;)
White vinegar and water mix kills slugs
I have seen a lot of tutorials en this is one of the best

This was great. I have not successfully rooted any roses. Guess I was not taking them from the right part. I'm subscribed.
Hi Jason, great presentation as so informative, keep up your good work. Thanks from Aus
How do you maintain the ideal temp.and humidity in greenhouse throughout the different seasons?Notice greenhouse sides are open.Also,what varieties will thrive in tropical Guyana?Thanks.
I open sides, use shade cloth, and timed mist to keep the humidity up/temps under control. I'm sorry I don't have any experience with growing roses in a tropical climate. I can say stay away from the albas & some of the old once-blooming roses that require a winter, but that's pretty obvious. Most of the modern reblooming (tea type) roses have a lot of sub-tropical genetics in them, but I can't say which ones will take the warmth best.
I’m hoping you see this. I received a bouquet of roses awhile ago. Shoots grew out of 3 of the flower stems from in between leaf and stem. Are they viable? They are in water now. Still growing. Should I just pot in soil and see what happens? TY for your generous sharing of experience in your videos
Always worth a try - and there's no way for me to guess if they'll be viable. The shoots aren't necessarily a good sign, as you really would like to see rooting first.
Thank you for teaching us propagate roses! I have a 1 year 7 month rose cutting in a container, and I like to transplant to the ground, could you tell me please, do I have to prune this plant before transplanting? And can I take cutting from it? I'm in zone 7B. Thanks again!
Nice! Myself, I only prune young roses if I want to improve branching or shape (or if I want some cuttings!). It's not necessary to prune just for transplanting. Cuttings from it would work fine so long as they're harvested at the right firmness for your technique.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks you so much!
Thank you for the great advice
What is right months for propagating softwood,semi hardwood and hardwood please.A little help will be appreciated..
Nice video, very professional. Thank you.
Thanks for great videos. Can you tell me, if i take a rose cutting from a climbing rose, will it grow as a climber or does it need to be grafted onto a briar type toot stock
Thanks Margie
Thanks for the great question. Cuttings taken from climbers are still climbers - and for me, they've all performed quite well on their own roots. That said, there may be cultivars that grow weaker or perform poorly in a particular soil type on their own roots. It's a matter of taking the cuttings and growing them out to see their vigor - but for me, so far, it's been 100%
Thank you for this posting Jason. In addition to roses I'm going to try this technique on Fragrant Sweet Box (Sarcococca ruscifolia), hydrangeas, boxwood and oleanders. I'll keep you posted on the results of the experiment.
Thanks Patrick. I've found that the hydrangeas work, but are much faster as a softwood cuttings. Best luck!
Have you had a chance since your comment, to get boxwood cuttings? I took boxwood cuttings from the spring shoots of a friend's boxwood about 12 years ago and they are growing very well, nice and bushy. I recommend trimming them into a box shape at about year 6. They grow much better when pruned well.
Very informative. Tyfs!
Hi Jason. Ash here from Queensland Australia. I love this video and have watched it many times. I'm very keen to try semi hardwood rose cuttings. Can you tell me if doing them in February would be the right timing for me. Thanks Ash
Thanks Ash. Sounds reasonable to me. Basically, any time you see a lot of blooms in the garden, that's about the right time for some of the wood (just behind the bud or bloom) to be in the semi-hardwood stage. I'm sure that's a fairly wide season in Queensland. It may be more difficult to manage high temperatures for the cuttings during your hottest months, so if you can get a jump-start in November (assuming there are blooms) that might be a good idea.
Thank you very much ! I will try to propagate my Phyllis Bide rambling rose tomorrow, since I will be training and pruning it.
Good luck. I don't have Phyllis Bide, but the colors look quite nice!
why do you use metal grid tables ...is this preventing moisture build up ,,does this mean in high summer its hard to keep them damp?
Hi Robert - It's a (relatively) inexpensive way to top a treated wood frame, and of course, water drains through and there's good air circulation around the trays. Yes, this mean they'll dry out quicker, which is a mixed blessing: my young seedling and rooted cuttings establish beautifully with this excellent drainage and evaporation, but once the plants fill the pots, I have a tough time keeping them watered so I move them to the floor.
So good video! I want to ask you about the misting system . You mist the plant a few second an hour or a few second three hours?
Hi I love your video thank you so much . My question is can you propagate the roses that are sold in the stores? I have try several time and they get a white fungus and turn black ..
Also can you propagate mini roses???
Thanks so much Cecilia. Yes, roses sold in stores (as cut flowers I assume you mean) are possible - and you can see my video on the difference in process here: ua-cam.com/video/gROmGmbJYeU/v-deo.html Also, minis are usually easy to root - the cuttings taken a bit on the "soft" side of semi-hardwood root quite quickly.
I did cuttings on my roses i used honey to root faster but it just died. Any tips on what to do next time? Thanks!
Honey is an interesting idea, but I haven't tested it myself yet. I guess the concept is that the anti-fungal/anti-bacterial properties of honey will protect the base of the cuttings from rot. My initial thoughts are that you'd be better off working with a sterile potting mix and using a rooting hormone to encourage faster callus.
thank you for your input
Thanks for sharing👍great tips..
Really useful, thank you.
Great video. Thank you so much. After failing few times I have successfully done it where my cuttings have started sprouting. My question is this. I did the cuttings in plastic cups, mostly in non-nutritive well draining medium (some mostly sand and bark), so how or when do I transplant in bigger container ? Use regular soil when I transplant ? Ideal time of the year to do it ? Do I feed NPK while still in plastic cup ? I am afraid I'll lose then if I try to transplant without this knowledge. I got them sprout in a tote in my garage
Congratulations! The cups have drain holes, right? The safest thing is to feed the rooted cuttings with a dilute liquid feed. Mix at half strength at first until the roots are well established, then to full strength - you can alternate one watering with liquid feed, next watering with just plain water. Do this until the roots are firmer and easier to handle. Usually, I even wait until the following spring. Then pot into a regular/coarse potting mix. I use a low rate of incorporated slow-release fertilizer, but you can also continue to liquid feed.
THANK YOU!!! That helps a lot. I also have fig cuttings and some other plants like jasmine that grew I will do same for them too.
Hi Jason! I bought roses to put in a vase and they sprouted at the bottom. Can I plant them?
Hi Sheila. What have you got to lose? If they're already setting roots, there's a good chance you can establish the "cutting" as a shrub in your garden. From there, you can decide if it's worth growing long-term.
Does this apply to all kinds of cuttings? Not just on roses?
Hi Jason, Can you please explain why my cuttings turn black even when I disinfect my pruners? I put a bag over my pot with the cutting. Could that be the reason? It would be great if you could do a whole video on why cuttings fail! Thank you for all the great videos. I'm a big fan :)
Thanks. I'll put it on the list. The black rot of the cuttings (usually from below the soil line) can indicate too much moisture - either in the potting soil or from trapped humidity. I can suggest a few things: 1) try not to wet the soil too much. It should be just moist, not soaked. The mist is to keep the foliage from drying out, not to water the soil. 2) Don't stick the cuttings too deep. The more stem section below the soil line, the greater the risk of rot. 3) Tweak your bag/tent to allow more air circulation. I know it's tough to balance, because if you leave it too open, the cuttings can dry out. I hope this helps! Please keep trying. I had a lot of the same problems when I was starting out under a tall humidity dome - and even now, I lose a % to rot.
Thank you so much :) I'm going to try all of your suggestions. I have a feeling I've been sticking them too deep.
A few weeks ago I tried an experiment where I took some rose cuttings and dipped /washed them in a 5% bleach solution and recut the ends after the wash before sticking them ...and so far there's no rot on any of them and a few have new leaves. I don't know if I have roots yet but this is farther than I've gotten before.
Thanks again for your fantastic videos. You'd make a great professor if you ever get tired of roses ;o)
Big thanks for a gold information........
Howdy, Jason! I was hoping to ask you a question about how to propagate roses without a greenhouse if you live in a climate that gets cold (6b for me) in winter. I've tried to be a good Fraser Valley Rose Farm student but haven't seen--or must have missed--any video tips on how to propagate without a greenhouse. I do recall, at least I think I do, a video where you mentioned briefly that when you were starting you were just using pots in the yard. A greenhouse is not a very practical solution for me, given the land I have, but I really would love to be successful at rose propagation. Would you be willing to create a video with some of those tips? Or, if you've already made one, could you be so kind as to point me towards it? I've watched a significant portion of your videos, as mentioned, but the greenhouse always seems to be a key component. Thanks in advance for all the wisdom you share! -David
Thanks David. I've also done a fair bit of propagation in humidity domes and indoors under lights. Maybe the most basic example is my lavender video ua-cam.com/video/ZskIUlUxbU0/v-deo.html but you can also find various videos on my indoor propagation setup in the main propagation playlist on my channel's home page. If you wanted to adapt the humidity dome method for use outdoors, it's not a problem, but the trick is finding a location outdoors that gets bright indirect light - full sun on the new cuttings in the dome will likely overheat and stress the cuttings. I've seen gardeners create a space like this by hanging shade cloth as well. The hardwood cutting techniques I sometimes use for roses (and I demonstrate them in protected areas) are traditionally also carried out in outdoor areas (directly in the soil) with little change to the method.
Fantastic tutorial it’s the best one on UA-cam
Question. Do you recommend to put my cutting in a potato instead of soil?
Thank you for sharing.
I'm going to be real honest and say the potato thing never seemed like a good idea to me (compared with other propagation techniques). That said, I'll try anything once! How about a side-by-side comparison between spud and sterile potting mix? Until I'm proven wrong though, I'd recommend the propagation mix.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm
Sterile ? Do I mix my own soil mix using peat moss and perlite then putting it in microwave ? What would be an ideal soil for this purpose and how do I go about sterilizing it ?

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I've tried the potatoe several times and had zero success, all times😊! There was this old man in Florida🌴 who used to root rose cuttings in sand!

Thank you.
Hi! Need some advise: I planted some 20-25 cuttings that are now 5 weeks old in one part of the world (US) and want to "move" them to Europe. Do you think they will keep a 20h flight assuming I will transport them in a recipient with some humid soil on the roots? What advise do you have for the move to be successful? Thanks!
Hi Ana. I don't think it should set them back much, as you suggest, transported wrapped in a moist medium. I might warn you to check the regulations of the destination country - there are often import restrictions on plant material, and particularly on soil. Sometimes it takes an inspection or phytosanitary certificate from the USDA office to get past customs. In any case, maybe look into it before you pack them up to travel.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks so much!
I have several cuttings that I started in early June. They look very healthy. What should I do with them over the winter months? I live in MA. Do I leave them outside protected from the snow? Do I take them inside into the living area of the house where it is 70 degrees? Should they go into a 3 season enclosed porch where it ranges in temps from ~36 or greater? Thanks for your help
I like option # 3, the enclosed porch.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm The enclosed porch has a lot of windows but is on the north side. Do you recommend a grow lamp? or is the natural light fine for the winter? Can this plant be transplanted outside during the upcoming spring or do I need to wait a year until the following spring. Thanks so much
Hello there! Very grateful for sharing your knowledge.
I have several rose cuttings in small pots for two weeks.
They are now sprouting.
Does that mean they are good and rooting too?
Thank you
Not necessarily. It's kind of a race: the roots need to develop on pace with the new shoots. If the shoots "win", forming leaves etc. before the roots develop, the cutting may transpire more water than it can take up (and die!). I suspect the roots need more time. You can gently check to see if a callus has formed at the bottom of the cuttings. If so, provide mist or humidity and cross your fingers...
Thank you for your kind sharing this
hi man . i have questions
is there any way to NOT using hormone after cutting?
next question is , what different between using hormone , and Not using it?
and third question is what is the Specifications of that hormone that you used?
thank so much
Hi Ali. Sure, I've tried lots of different hormone formulations, and sometimes without any at all. The difference is small but noticeable. On an easy-to-root variety, you might not notice any improvement at all. In general, I'd say my rate is improved by about 10% with rooting powder, gel or liquid. Right now I use Stim-Root #2 which is 0.4% IBA (in the video I was using a liquid, I think, but the results are about the same). I've found the the proper mist/humidity and temperature is way more important to success than the hormone.
I live in Houston and it's very hot here at the moment, 34 c right now at 7:50 pm. Should I plant my Peggy Martin cuttings in the ground now, or wait until temperatures cool down in a couple of months? They are almost 3 months old now. Both of them have a few leaves and haven't grown in length, maybe an inch or so. It might rain a lot on Saturday, so I need advice if I should plant them or it's too hot for them?
My backyard garden, where I will plant them, is very sunny and northeast facing. Not much shade.
I might wait for more favorable weather for planting.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you.
Very nice You seals plant roses?
do you mist them every hour 24 hours a day?
Good information. Well presented.
Thanks so much!
Informative video. You didn't mention not being able to propagate brand name roses such as Proven Winner roses that have a copyright. ( I think that's the word. ), especially if you sell them. I imagine it's OK if you do for your own garden.
Hi Jason, how much land do you need to produce 1000 roses per annum, including parent stock and space to grow them to a saleable size?
Hi Gary - between growing space and stock plants, approximately 2000 sq. ft. (185 sq. meters). I use a lot more than this because I keep stock plants for far too many varieties. That's the plant collector/hobbyist in me. If I focused down onto the 20 or 25 varieties with the best sales, I could fit into the 2000 sq. ft area no problem.
Enjoyed your video. Some years ago, my cousin created a rose hedge by taking cuttings and just sticking them in the ground. Is it legal to grow and sell roses by taking cuttings8 from plants you purchased? I understood you need to have written permission because the plant was grown by someone (company) who has a legal ownership.
I made a quick vid on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/940Plg82sfM/v-deo.html Short answer: the plant patent period (if registered) is around 20 years. After that, anyone is allowed to propagate the variety.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you. Good to know!
Hi
I live in the UK and fir the last 12 years I have tried without any success to root a certain rose. I have tried every method on UA-cam but nothing has worked..the rose in question is the most remarkable pi nk scented rose found in my local park.. every year for the last 12 years I have been given cuttings but not one has root..they send leaves then die. I tried putting them under a bottle dome used coco soil, used sand , used different roosting hormones ..keep indoors by window, kept out, but nothing works. I gave given up. As I don't know the name of the rose I can't purchase one as don't know the name..helppp Fraser..please.
Thanks
Thank you for the video , I wanna start a rose farming in the Philippines 🇵🇭 can you please give so
E advice? God bless 🙏
Great video! Can I root cutting now, early spring? The rose has no leaves, and no flowers yet. Thanks
For semi-hardwood, you should wait. When the stems are flowering (or just after) and they're not so easy to bend, you'll know they're at their best for this method.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much
Great vid Jason, my first attempt at cuttings is going well, they are in small containers and just starting to get some tiny leaves, it will be spring here in Australia in another month, should I repot them into larger pots or leave them where they are?
Thanks. How are the roots? If fully rooted, it should be no problem up-potting them now. I do the same thing, repotting at the end of winter to take full advantage of early spring growth. BTW, I just (today) put together a more detailed version of the video you commented on. It's longer, but it answers a lot of the common questions: ua-cam.com/video/211r10Jj_OY/v-deo.html
How are you able to keep the leaves till they root, cause i struggle with that, Is it not misting long enough, cause my intervals are 10min duration 2 secs due to saturated soil if its longer than that.
or maybe increase my preasure for a finer mist.
You could look at the dome method as an alternative: ua-cam.com/video/4FicmVqT_a4/v-deo.htmlsi=gN-6DxexqfV9FYqe
Thanks for your video, you mentioned that it was recorded in September and you have other cuttings that you have been taking for the past two to three months, does this mean that you have been taking cuttings all the way through the summer? when is best to take cuttings? I live in the UK btw
Yes, because I do it as a business, I keep going all summer. My best time is late May/early June when there's plenty of growth in the right (semi-hardwood) stage and there's still a lot of time to root before winter.
When would be the best time to sell rooted rose cuttings? After 6 months or after 12 months?
FL grower here. I have some roses that grow like weeds - Louis Philippe & Mrs BR Cant for example. But others just sit and “exist”. They don’t die but they don’t flourish - Dames de Chenanceau, Ambridge, Heritage for example. What could kick start them? I fertilize. Use bone marrow. What’s missing?
Hmmm. I wonder. I don't know about the Delbard rose, but usually the Austins are okay in a warmer climate. How long have they been in the ground?
Fraser Valley Rose Farm 2-3 years. I’ve thought about putting them in pots. 10 gallon maybe.
@@perdidoatlantic that may be worth a try. Sometimes I'll put some of my slow-to-establish roses into my own "penalty box" area - potted, and with a bit of shade. You'll get a good idea of their root establishment that way. If they begin to perk up a bit, maybe try a liquid feed / foliar feed to see if they respond. Crossing my fingers for you!
Fraser Valley Rose Farm Thanks. I’ll do that. It’s a mystery why some do well and some don’t. I have a 1000 Beauty that’s about 20 feet across I’ve prob had 4-500 cuttings off. But another 1000 Beauty that barely grows. It’s hit & miss.
Thanks!!
Well you must have some fun growing in Florida... those temps must allow for some quick establishing cuttings! Best luck with your roses.
If you don’t have a greenhouse and you cut the semi hard cuttings what do you do with them over the winter
Hi Judy. Depends on your climate. If it's not super cold, you can shelter them outdoors. If you need more protection, I've done okay moving roses into an unheated shed/garage to overwinter.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm southern Ontario I think since this is my first time trying it I will put some in the garage and the others I will put right in the soil in their container and cover them with mulch

Great video! I have a question. What do you think about taking cuttings from suckers? I haven't tried it yet, but am about to since a couple of my rose bushes produced them.
Hi Tifa, dividing suckers from the main plant is super easy, and almost 100% successful for me. Just try to make sure that the bottom end has some formed roots - and the top end is not too long (one or two nodes above soil level is enough). Place in just damp potting mix in a shady spot until rooted. Which varieties? (if you don't mind me asking, one rose geek to another)
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks for the reply! One is a David Austen Heathcliff, Neil Diamond, and some others that I don't know the names of.
Great precise information! Thank you so much
I accidentally took hardwood cuttings at beginning of warm spring in northern NSW Australia....
I am curious if it will still work even in warm weather?
I treated it like semi hardwood, used rooting hormone. I feel a bit silly because it now appears what I took was actually hardwood. I hope I have not wasted them because it is such a lovely rose.
I would appreciate any advice, like should I put humid cover over or leave open?
Thanks ! 🌹
By the way it is a climbing rose. The plant is on a friend's property and has been neglected and looks rather unhealthy so I wanted to salvage it since it has such pretty flowers.
Yes, you still have a chance. Look up the "newspaper method" of rose propagation, and basically it's a hardwood technique in warmer weather. Watch for rot, but humidity definitely helps with the rooting.
Just wanted to say thanks, although I somehow your reply notification went into a random email folder so I did not see it till now 😅... And unfortunately I did lose the roses to rot. Hopefully better luck next time. I appreciate your advice. Thanks.
Jason tell me how to get rid of the flipping blackspot!! I love roses but mine are all baldy and covered in blackspot it's very upsetting!!
Hi Wendy. That's rough - and if your varieties are really susceptible, it may be an uphill battle. My initial tips are: prune for good air circulation (so the foliage dries quicker - the spores need moisture to germinate), remove infected foliage and stems, also remove fallen infected foliage. A coarse wood chip mulch around the base of the rose may also protect from reinfection. A winter spray of bordeaux mix may help to give you a clean start. In the season, 1tsp baking soda + 1/2 tsp horticultural oil in 1 liter (or 1 quart) of water as a full-coverage spray can help with prevention.
great video
Good video, and well described. It's been awhile since I've taken root cuttings, and I use a powder root hormone. Is yours powder or is it liquid?
Thanks Connie. I used a rooting powder with 0.3 or 0.4% IBA as the active ingredient.
Thank you. I'll have to take a look at my rooting powder container and see what the ingredients are. I really do need some new rose bushes so I can take the older ones out. At the base, the canes (I think that's what they're called) are pretty old, plus a weed-tree entangled itself with one of my rose bushes. Oh, I almost forgot to ask you, what does IBA mean?
When is the best time to propagate rose from cuttings , how to care it once it's successfully grown, and when it should be fertiliz ,please advice
Hi Harmanpreet - early in the flowering season is best. When the rose is flowering, you should be able to find semi-hardwood stems ready. Once rooted (in perhaps 4 to 6 weeks) introduce a weak solution of fertilizer first, and then slowly transition to full strength over the next month or two.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much sir
Thanks man, looking forward to trying your technique!
Good luck and keep trying.
Hi Jason...do you propagate miniatures, & if so do you have a video?
Great channel & have learned so much about propagation, & enjoying much better success rates with my roses 😊

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm brilliant thank you! 😊
Thank you for this interesting video ! Where are you from ? I like to maintain my rose with season .
We're on Canada's west coast near Vancouver BC.
Wish I’d come across this video a while back. I took three cuttings of my only rose bush and they are soft wood cuttings because I thought they would have more chance of taking. It took about three weeks to get those white bits an the root end. Then it showed little signs of growth. Now it’s growing faster! I’ve separated the best one to its own pot (the only one I had), which is quite a large pot. Will I need to keep it warm this winter (bring it indoors), or will it be hardy enough outside? I haven’t got a greenhouse.
What's your climate like? If your winter comes early and is harsher than here, you might consider bringing it inside. With a relatively mild climate (like here), a somewhat sheltered outdoor location would probably be better.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm
Scottish climate. Although it hasn’t been too cold for winter compared to earlier years. The plant looks better each day so maybe it’ll be ok by then. If I’m in doubt, I’ll take it into the kitchen. This is the first time I’ve ever taken a cutting of anything and I’m so pleased with the results so far!
@@jazzman1626 Hi Jazz Man I live in the Midlands in England. May I ask did you bring it into your kitchen? How is it doing?
Natalie Dodson
Hi. No, I got a polly tunnel and put it in there and it even grew a single rose on it. Unfortunately, it is now looking a bit tired. I remembered something about the bush that it’s taken from, which might have something to do with it. The original bush was a memorial to our beloved cat, Sophie and it was a bush you could name, so we called the rose “Sweet Sophie”. I think it was grafted onto a rootstock. As far as I’m aware, this makes taking cuttings from it much more difficult to have the cutting fully established into a robust bush. The original bush we got now has healthy, glossy leaves and some buds. We thought it was dying because it had rotting petals and lost its lustre. I sprayed it with boiled garlic water and it is now looking very healthy. I think I’ll give the cutting a little rose food and see if it makes a difference. I’m not at all green-fingered so anything I learn is off UA-cam etc.
@@jazzman1626 Hi Jazzman thanks for getting back to me. Ah bless you, that's a coincidence we lost our dog in December she was my best friend Molly, she was a gorgeous Labrador and 15 so she was a good age. I bought a David Austin rose to remember her by and this is what I am thinking of doing is taking a cutting just in case I kill the original bush as her ashes are in it. I am new to gardening. If I get round to doing it I will let you know how I get on lol. That's a brilliant tip for roses I have never heard of that with garlic. I actually bought 3 David Austin's at once so I will remember that tip. I am impressed with them the scent on them all is heavenly. Plus they are so pretty. I would recommend them. 😁
My roses have some kind of dieback, and I've lost several I had no names for :( but which I loved. Any recommendations on propagation to save some of these? So far, cuttings have mostly died back rather than rooting, either with or without root hormone. I'd tried dipping half in an antiseptic solution, then rinsing and planting--so far, nothing's worked.
Help!?
Great video I must add!
If you don't have a greenhouse, should you put a plastic bag over them and put in dappled shade?
