Im a beginner grower and i did the potato method(my dad tried it and failed ,now i tried it) and it actually worked. I only planted 5 rose cutting and each in their own potato,few weeks later each of them produced 4-6 stems different sizes ,few are still little seedling and others are like 6cm already.
Have you seen roots? I am curious as if kept moist they will put on new growth without having roots yet. I am glad it worked for you, I just couldn't get them to root that way.
Thank you so much for this very simple and easy to follow tutorial 🌹💖 My mom has the biggest, most stunningly beautiful Margo Koster climbing rose bush growing alongside and around one of the patio pillars in our backyard. She planted it as a wee bare root in the 90s when I was a kid. I’ve been trying for years to find more of this variety, which is one of the few climbing roses that thrives really well in our zone (8), to no avail…I really want to plant one in our front yard, as well as a few more in the back. It didn’t dawn on me until now to try to propagate new bushes from clippings of the original! Followed your very straightforward instructions and have just set seven cuttings 🌹 Hopefully will be checking back in, in a few weeks, to report new little bare roots!
Climbing roses self propagate all over my yard, and the variety is very stable, so the plants from seeds are the same as the parents. My hedge rows I planted for security to slow down people jumping over fences all come from the transplanted seedlings.

Covering keeps a humid environment that aids in keeping the cutting alive, with no roots it can't take up water. The temperatures vary but it will root better with 70 degree temperatures, and it is best in a shady spot as direct sun can cook the cutting with the cover on it.
I'm currently growing my cuttings I made three weeks ago. (I live in Australia and it's winter cold here) I always stick the cuttings straight into the dirt, around the mother bush so I know exactly what cuttings are where. I then stick a plastic water bottle (with the bottom cut off and the lid off) over the top and let Mother Nature and the Good Lord do the rest...
Hello sis…. I’ve seen your page before, as I see many pages/sites under the name flower, w/ realizing who you were. Diane told me about your site, and I had to watch. Very very cool. Thanks.
Love your video on propagating roses and lavender! You are in Canada. We are in the states, Ohio. I remember my grandmother taking cuttings and putting under a glass jar, old fashion yes. I have My Mom's favorite and it's getting old. Would like to take some cuttings but don't want to fail. Winter is coming and will be cold but not as cold as Canada. Advice Please? Can I take a cutting now in November? Keep indoors & how for just a few cuttings? Can I put outside in my flower bed, close to the house with a jar over it? All the help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Carole
No, I am in Northern California. My grandmother also put rose cuttings in pots under a glass jar, she was part of the Rose Society where she lived and she and her fellow rose society members would traipse around old towns and collect rose cuttings to start and enjoy swapping. You can take cuttings and overwinter them in wet newspaper and try to start them closer to spring. That is a method unto itself. Most roses are trying to go into dormancy at this stage of the season. But it isn't impossible. If you do try and start some, it would be beneficial to have a grow light and a heat mat to get them to start easier. I was successful in starting some last February so it shows it can be dark and cold and they will root but they were very slow about it. I had them in my Bespoke Greenhouse and I used the terra cotta pot within a pot method. It worked great. I think that method is linked in the description box.
It depends on when I am taking the cuttings. Like right now it is quite hot and the greenhouse is an oven. During a heat spell like now I would put them in a shady spot where I can keep an eye on them. I usually pot them up into their own pots when they get a good root system and overwinter them in the greenhouse or a sheltered spot in the garden.
Thanks for the video. I’m trying this process and failed but I’m just starting round two with 6 jugs with 4 in each. How often do you water them? I’ve hard everything from water them when the tray under them gets dry to don’t water them at all.
How often to water is dependent on many factors. How hot it is, your humidity levels, breeze or wind. Less is more with watering. You want to keep them moist but not wet.
I have not done it before but I am trying right now. I took winter cuttings in a video a couple weeks ago and am trying to root them under grow lights. I will chime in soon with the results. So the answer is yes but I would go over to Fraser Valley Rose Farm, he is much more experienced than I at it.
Thank you for speaking to us. This is the fourth video I clicked on and the only one with an actual person! I dislike the disembodied voice videos. I have an antique rose bush. It's "mother" bush rose of it was my grandmother's. It' blooms prolifically every year and my cousins recently learned I have it and have ALL asked for a start.
You are so welcome! How wonderful that you can gift them this rose. I will be sharing a method I just learned soon here and it is so simple and the rosarian that shared it with me swore he had nearly 100% success. That sounds like a wonderful rose.
The BEST thing abt you is thst you REPLYto queries.When I am trying something I am not adept at,I want to know what I am doing wrong!Your response is sincerely appreciated!
I've got roses that allegedly were brought by my ancestors from sweden. Nobody has ever been able to identify them, and they're pretty unique. I've visited my ancestors farm in Sweden and no such roses were found. I've not tried the apps that scan and identify plants, I'll have to see what comes up. I'd love to know where they originated! At least 50 are around the area, propagated off the first one, planted in the 1880s!
Hi, my cuttings are moldy on the top and I have covered it with polythene , but I can see new growth budding , wat should I do for the molds. Thank you
I've watched several videos. This is a good one. Bear in mind patented roses don't propagate. And some grown in other countries for the florist industry. So pick out roses that will bring you success!
Patented roses will propagate, it is just illegal to do so. Many roses that were once patented are no longer as their patents have run out, it is 20 years for a plant patent and I have propagated them. Many times cut roses from a florist won't propagate as they have been treated to prevent it but some will. An example is the Eden rose, it propagates very easily was patented in 1985, in France, then in the US in 1989. So the patent ran out in 2009 and you can legally propagate it.
As long as it is not freezing and they are not kept in the sun the temperatures are wide ranging. . I have done this if late Fall, early Spring and mid-Summer which all have differing temps. If it is hot where you are at then keep them in a bright but shady place. Even in Fall and Spring they should not be put in direct sun.
Thank you for sharing about trying to root a rose clipping into a potato. I have tried and it doesn't work well for me either. Your method is much easier and successful. Cheers!
@@sharynwinick9709 I have canes I put in water last Fall and though they are alive they are not putting on roots. That is 8 months and no roots, so I can safely say for me, water rooting doesn't work.
Watering is relative to your local conditions like temperature, humidity etc. So there is on one size fits all. You want to keep it moist but not wet. Wet is sure death.
Yes, I keep them in the shade and water as needed. That differs by your local conditions and no one size fits all. Monitor moisture levels in your containers. Using a moisture meter can be very helpful.
Hello! Thank you for this helpful video! I live in Boise Idaho and am moving from one house to another in the same city. I'm leaving a beautiful strong rose bush that is blooming now😢 it's late August when I write this. Do you have thoughts on how i can propagate a cutting and replant in my new yard? I don't have a greenhouse 💜😊thank you for your help!
My number one piece of advice is take a LOT of cuttings, not just one. This time of year is perfect for this and you do not need a greenhouse. I will have a new video up this week on a way I do it that is working wonderfully so far and it seems to be one of the easiest I have tried so far.
I use regular sunlight, I don't use any grow lights, and the temperature is whatever it is outdoors at the time. I prefer to do this is summer and keep them in the shade so they won't get over heated in the containers. But the temps vary widely.
How long it takes to root and develop well enough to be planted up is mentioned at 12:00 in the video and is determined by the rose type, the time of year, and your climate. So there is no one answer to how long to leave in the pot. You just keep it in the container until you see it is growing heartily or you see lots of roots at the bottom. If it is above 50 degrees you can put the container outside and covering the cuttings helps to maintain humidity which keeps it moist until it develops enough roots to draw up water from the soil.
Thanks Pam. Although this video is 4 yrs ago, it couldn't have come at at better time for me now watching it.The original next door neighbours had absolutely beautiful, well, maintained and ever blooming seasonal gardens. Absolutely outstanding! The current owners (foreigners) don't give a damn about the property, solely for rental income where they cram as many immigrants in as possible. So, the renters don't mind if we harvest the plants, bushes and trees for our own property. What a bonanza of free floral items! Mind you a few beers and allowing them to practice cricket in our extensive backyard also helped. So, the ability to harvest rose cuttings, a variety of mature bulbs, lilacs and other plants has been extremely beneficial to the further development of our extensive gardens. Just a matter of where to plant and get the desired floral effect throughout the growing season. So this video will definitely help us in cloning roses from cuttings just as did your video on propagating clematis. We live in Toronto, Canada the same climatic zone as yours, 5a. Regards to your family and thank you again for taking the time to relate your practical knowledge through these videos. Norm 🇨🇦🦒 (stand tall) 🍻🍷
Here grafting means splicing one plant onto another but I know different garden terms are used in different locations. I will be learning how to graft Japanese Maple trees soon and I will share that too. thanks for stopping by.
I'm in a very humid area, Do I still close up the container? I have just taken cuttings and placed them in the ground. I place 5 and 1 may take 2-3 months. Thanks for the tip on where to cut cuttings.
You may not need to cover if the humidity is sufficient, see my latest way to root roses, you may find it interesting: ua-cam.com/video/RbuuAinuEMI/v-deo.htmlsi=LELAvDZG_sj0xMu4
There are many that claim different products work other than actual rooting hormones but I have not been able to get them to work at all. You might as well just try to root with nothing, which does work but takes longer.
Ive actually used aloe vera, you cut the leaf open and cut the meat and you just get the gel like liquid oozing out and then just apply it omto the wound you create on the rose
Can you tell me after you put your milk jugs .you have put it’s in warm place or put it outdoor or in green house I don’t have ones can I put in my houses windows getting sun light stays alway freezing
The best time to do this is when your temperatures are warmer and not the freezing winter. Here June and July are the most favorable times to take and root rose cuttings. Here is a great video on winter rooting cuttings: ua-cam.com/video/OdzrBWJYc30/v-deo.html
I teach kindergarten. I would love to have my students propagate roses for Mother's Day. I'm trying to figure out the timing. I live in an area that gets all four seasons with a snowy winter. Can I clip in late summer? Would we want to keep the clippings inside until they get roots and then move them outside for the winter? Then transplant them in bigger pots in the spring?
You can take them in Fall and try to root them on your class window sill if you have one. Or get a grow light that can sit over a table top. The only caveat is you need to count on 50% fail rate so depending on how many students you may have to take a lot of cuttings. Sadly, I don't think this is a good project for that. Maybe start some flowers from seed? You could start in January and have something nice by Mothers Day. Maybe violas or pansies?
Proper steps to grow Rose Plant are stated by you in this video. This is very nice video you shared. I liked your video and SUBSCRIBED to your channel, so that, all your future videos reaches to me. My Best Wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2022.
Yep, one of the best time is right after the first bloom. But you can do it even if it hasn't yet. Many times the canes are more tender and more susceptible to fungus but it is doable.
As often as needed and that changes with the environment. In more humid or cooler areas it would be less of than in dryer, hotter areas. It is up to each individual to keep the medium moist but not wet.
Will they still make it if they don’t have leaves? I made many mistakes but I think I’ve fixed it now. They are still green and had a few sprouts but the leaves wilted bc there was no humidity.
No, direct sun will cook them. Find a nice spot that gets dappled sun or a touch of morning sun but afternoon shade. If your weather is still very cold bring them inside an put under a grow light or in a very bright window. If it is warmer weather (above 50 degrees F) they will do find outside.
For a newbie to this, I have more questions than answers after watching this video. It would have been nice if you had shown a successful cutting with roots on, so we could know what "success" looks like. Also, are we supposed to continue to water them? If so, how often? Are they supposed to be put in a sunny window, or do they not need light? Why did you put the top of the milk jug on?
I linked the blog post for more in depth information in the description box but I will link that here for you:www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/rooting-roses-from-cuttings-or-slips/ and here is the follow up video of these cuttings being potted up after they rooted: ua-cam.com/video/xC51oH3T934/v-deo.html I prefer showing the exact same cuttings after they have rooted to show how it works.
@@sailormoon1716 indeed that’s correct but I don’t cut the container in half n tape, too fiddly, I cut 3 inches from just the top n tie a plastic bag with a few holes in the top n presto , works really well🙏🥂
@@apolloniatyds1402 yeah, I don't do the quick fix either.( w/sand,etc.) I like just fresh water. Like a baby in the stomach. When the roots develop, that's when I place it in soil, etc. But let it strengthen on it's own first.
Thanks for the video! I see in the comments that you have mentioned success in using sand. Is that 100% sand or a mix of sand and potting soil? Thanks again!
i see the cuttings without leaves and then when you put them in the medium they have leaves what did i miss, do i put them in water for some time please explain
No, it is just a different set of cuttings. When I do this I do a lot at a time so the footage is of different ones than the leaf less. Removing all the leaves is not required but many do to avoid mildew and transpiration.
You always want drainage in containers so matter what you are growing, so yes, they have drainage holes in them. In this video I share how I do that: ua-cam.com/video/T40wa5uWFcg/v-deo.html Hope this helps.
I am trying to root some roses from cuttings in June in England. I have followed your instructions except did not wound the stems. I used rooting gel and then put them in pots with polythene over which I can open occasionally. I've then placed the pots in a tray with 1/2" water in the base. How often should I water the cuttings from the top, and should I keep topping up the water in the tray to absorb from the bottom of the pots. Many thanks.
Only water if they are getting dried out. The easiest way to kill your cuttings is to over water them. How often depends up on so many variables I cannot give you a direct answer. Test the soil when you open the polythene and see how dry the soil is getting. You want to keep it moist not wet. Wounding is a debated thing so no worries on not doing that, I have no idea if that helps or not.
No, you do not. It helps speed up the process. It is always a race against pathogens that can kill the cutting before it roots such as fungus and rot. The faster it roots the better your success rate.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you for taking the time to answer my question. It's my first time trying propagation from a beautiful bouquet of roses for Valentine's day 💐
@@FearnotIamwithyou Just FYI, many bouquets are treated so they won't root, just in case your attempt turns out to be a fail. Know that it may not be you or how you did it.
Aspirin is claimed to help fungal infections and trigger immune responses in plants so anything like that can help. Aspirin used to be made from willow bark which is reputed to help with rooting plants too but since aspirin is now synthetically made I am not sure. I should experiment with it and see what happens. I don't think it can hurt.
Yes, you can keep them on your windowsill and watering is relative. They will dry out differently in different circumstances so there is no one set rule. If you have a very dry environment that is very warm they would dry out faster and need watering more frequently and vice versa. So the key is to only water when they are nearly dry. My best advice is invest in a moisture meter and use it to test the soil daily and water when it reads barely moist.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse One final question for you please, do I keep the screw top of the container on or off? and also when the water drains through to the bottom dish, do you throw that water away? I hope I managed to ask in a way you can understand! :) x
Rather than using electrical tape, try this. With a soldering iron or a large screw heated in a flame make two holes a quarter of an inch in diameter above and below the cut, on the opposite side to the hinge, and then pass a cable tie through the holes to keep the two halves together. It will be strong enough to enable lifting of the water jug using the handle.
Oh ok thank you I was worried haha 🤞 The only other thing I had question about……. I live in zone 7B Mississippi. I do not have a greenhouse yet lol I am keeping them on my cover back porch for now not sure what to do. Come winter. If I should move to garage or not.??? I just love your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all your knowledge on growing flowers!!
@@vickirickman9373 Do you have a bright window in the garage to keep them? You can also put them on a windowsill in your house. They will need bright light.
Not patented? Who is policing Roses? Likely no one. Worth the risk. Thanks for the info. I'm looking a a lot of these methods on youtube and there are quite a few variations. There is a highly aromatic rose bush we now own and it is duty to propagate it. The strongest smell I've encountered.
Maybe I missed it. How often are you supposed to water the perlite, and are you supposed to keep this "greenhouse" outdoors in the sun? You mentioned you might think you have roots when you don't...okay. When are they developed enough to transfer?
Water as needed, there is no set amount and differing circumstances dictate how fast they will dry out. Use a moisture meter if you would like to be more precise. No direct sun is not advised, kept in a shady spot during the heat. Watch my other videos of potting up these when rooted, that should help with when to transfer.
I just nip or break off with my finger some branches of roses or some plants and stick deep in ground 3 inches and hope they will take root by themselves. Does that way work at all due no time?
Those are petunias. I grow them from seed, here is a video on that: ua-cam.com/video/hXmPCuK-unw/v-deo.html You can also direct sow them when the weather is right, this gives you an idea on that as mine reseeded themselves in these containers: ua-cam.com/video/-nvToBosKw0/v-deo.html

There is no set schedule as each persons climate is different. So the best advice is keep the soil moist but not wet. A moisture meter is your best bet in checking.

That depends upon your climate. How cold it gets or not.@@Nursejenpen
Hello sis…. I’ve seen your page before, as I see many pages/sites under the name flower, w/ realizing who you were.
Diane told me about your site, and I had to watch.
Very very cool. Thanks.
Oh thank you
Love your video on propagating roses and lavender! You are in Canada. We are in the states, Ohio. I remember my grandmother taking cuttings and putting under a glass jar, old fashion yes. I have My Mom's favorite and it's getting old. Would like to take some cuttings but don't want to fail. Winter is coming and will be cold but not as cold as Canada. Advice Please? Can I take a cutting now in November? Keep indoors & how for just a few cuttings? Can I put outside in my flower bed, close to the house with a jar over it? All the help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Carole
No, I am in Northern California. My grandmother also put rose cuttings in pots under a glass jar, she was part of the Rose Society where she lived and she and her fellow rose society members would traipse around old towns and collect rose cuttings to start and enjoy swapping.
You can take cuttings and overwinter them in wet newspaper and try to start them closer to spring. That is a method unto itself. Most roses are trying to go into dormancy at this stage of the season. But it isn't impossible. If you do try and start some, it would be beneficial to have a grow light and a heat mat to get them to start easier. I was successful in starting some last February so it shows it can be dark and cold and they will root but they were very slow about it. I had them in my Bespoke Greenhouse and I used the terra cotta pot within a pot method. It worked great. I think that method is linked in the description box.
This is first time to see your videos...thanks so much for hints on Rose cuttings. I'm here in Ireland, don't have a greenhouse so need all help.🇮🇪💚
You are most welcome. I wish you success.
@mariathompson3578 you could make a hoop house. Can make one with a plastic tub. Look up hoop house 🏡
Once you have done this, do you put them in a green house or outside? Do you plant them in the ground before winter? Thank you!
It depends on when I am taking the cuttings. Like right now it is quite hot and the greenhouse is an oven. During a heat spell like now I would put them in a shady spot where I can keep an eye on them. I usually pot them up into their own pots when they get a good root system and overwinter them in the greenhouse or a sheltered spot in the garden.
Thanks for the video. I’m trying this process and failed but I’m just starting round two with 6 jugs with 4 in each.
How often do you water them? I’ve hard everything from water them when the tray under them gets dry to don’t water them at all.
How often to water is dependent on many factors. How hot it is, your humidity levels, breeze or wind. Less is more with watering. You want to keep them moist but not wet.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thank you
It's winter and I have a grow light set up indoors for my house plants. Can I grow them inside?
I have not done it before but I am trying right now. I took winter cuttings in a video a couple weeks ago and am trying to root them under grow lights. I will chime in soon with the results. So the answer is yes but I would go over to Fraser Valley Rose Farm, he is much more experienced than I at it.
Best rose vid !
Thank you!
Thank you for speaking to us. This is the fourth video I clicked on and the only one with an actual person! I dislike the disembodied voice videos. I have an antique rose bush. It's "mother" bush rose of it was my grandmother's. It' blooms prolifically every year and my cousins recently learned I have it and have ALL asked for a start.
You are so welcome! How wonderful that you can gift them this rose. I will be sharing a method I just learned soon here and it is so simple and the rosarian that shared it with me swore he had nearly 100% success. That sounds like a wonderful rose.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse I'm looking forward to that!
The BEST thing abt you is thst you REPLYto queries.When I am trying something I am not adept at,I want to know what I am doing wrong!Your response is sincerely appreciated!
So glad I could help.
بالتوفيق دائما ✌️🙏😍
Thank you!
I've got roses that allegedly were brought by my ancestors from sweden. Nobody has ever been able to identify them, and they're pretty unique. I've visited my ancestors farm in Sweden and no such roses were found. I've not tried the apps that scan and identify plants, I'll have to see what comes up. I'd love to know where they originated! At least 50 are around the area, propagated off the first one, planted in the 1880s!
How fun! I love that.
i used a potato in the summer and it worked . blooming every summer.
Glad to hear it worked for you but it never did for me.
Hi, my cuttings are moldy on the top and I have covered it with polythene , but I can see new growth budding , wat should I do for the molds. Thank you
Hi what did u put on the stem before you put in the container?
Rooting hormone. It is available at most garden centers and on Amazon.
does you close the lid on water jug, or leave the lid off
Lid off. It does better with some air circulation.
I've watched several videos. This is a good one. Bear in mind patented roses don't propagate. And some grown in other countries for the florist industry. So pick out roses that will bring you success!
Patented roses will propagate, it is just illegal to do so. Many roses that were once patented are no longer as their patents have run out, it is 20 years for a plant patent and I have propagated them. Many times cut roses from a florist won't propagate as they have been treated to prevent it but some will. An example is the Eden rose, it propagates very easily was patented in 1985, in France, then in the US in 1989. So the patent ran out in 2009 and you can legally propagate it.
Pantented roses do propagate but it's illegal to sell them. I clone them and have a yard full of patented Rose's. Great video
Very clear and good illustration, but what temperature is the best. As I live in Georgia USA. Here the temperature is different from Chicago USA.
As long as it is not freezing and they are not kept in the sun the temperatures are wide ranging. .
I have done this if late Fall, early Spring and mid-Summer which all have differing temps. If it is hot where you are at then keep them in a bright but shady place. Even in Fall and Spring they should not be put in direct sun.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thank you for your cooperation and advice.
@@monawershah7465 You are most welcome.
Thank you for sharing about trying to root a rose clipping into a potato. I have tried and it doesn't work well for me either. Your method is much easier and successful. Cheers!
I don't know of anyone that had success with trying to root in a potato.
Didn’t work for me either
Trying to root in water and it’s not looking good either
@@sharynwinick9709 I have canes I put in water last Fall and though they are alive they are not putting on roots. That is 8 months and no roots, so I can safely say for me, water rooting doesn't work.
Do you disturb and add water once you have ckosed it or no?
How often do you water during this process? And how much water (like do you want the soil to always be wet?)
Watering is relative to your local conditions like temperature, humidity etc. So there is on one size fits all. You want to keep it moist but not wet. Wet is sure death.
My rose cuttings usually develop mold after I try to root them and cover them up. How do you go about tackling the mold issue?
I spray them with a diluted hydrogen peroxide mix.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Whats the % mix and what part of the plant are you spraying? Started my first roses this year and I'm covering all my bases 🌹🙏
@@mrsdragonite 1teaspoon per cup of water.
Beautiful video sharing
Thank you so much 🙂
Just curious, do you leave them in shade?
How often to water?
Yes, I keep them in the shade and water as needed. That differs by your local conditions and no one size fits all. Monitor moisture levels in your containers. Using a moisture meter can be very helpful.
a minute in and I'm already hitting that sub button, awesome video thanks
Welcome aboard!
Do you leave the cap to the gallon jug off or put it on? Thanks for the great information!
I leave it off. A little air is beneficial though I do know some put it on.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thanks for your reply!
Super easy technique of propagating rose🌹
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello! Thank you for this helpful video! I live in Boise Idaho and am moving from one house to another in the same city. I'm leaving a beautiful strong rose bush that is blooming now😢 it's late August when I write this. Do you have thoughts on how i can propagate a cutting and replant in my new yard? I don't have a greenhouse 💜😊thank you for your help!
My number one piece of advice is take a LOT of cuttings, not just one. This time of year is perfect for this and you do not need a greenhouse. I will have a new video up this week on a way I do it that is working wonderfully so far and it seems to be one of the easiest I have tried so far.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you so much!
Great video! I will be trying to root roses in the milk jugs. Thanks!
I know a grower that does it in milk jugs, she propagate vintage roses that way and can fit quite a few into one jug.
Can you tell us what kind of lighting and temperature for this PLEASE?
I use regular sunlight, I don't use any grow lights, and the temperature is whatever it is outdoors at the time. I prefer to do this is summer and keep them in the shade so they won't get over heated in the containers. But the temps vary widely.
Im going to try it. Thanks for your help. By the way you sure are pretty!😎
I am glad you like it, I hope it works for you.
How do you water - through the bottle neck or by placing in water? Do you close the hole at the top?
I do both depending upon my mood and no I do not close the hole in the top. The little bit of airflow helps mitigate fungus.
Hi if take a clipping from Rose now how long do I leave in pot and do I need need to cover it and do I leave in sode shed or outside
How long it takes to root and develop well enough to be planted up is mentioned at 12:00 in the video and is determined by the rose type, the time of year, and your climate. So there is no one answer to how long to leave in the pot. You just keep it in the container until you see it is growing heartily or you see lots of roots at the bottom. If it is above 50 degrees you can put the container outside and covering the cuttings helps to maintain humidity which keeps it moist until it develops enough roots to draw up water from the soil.
You are awesome! Your videos are too awesome 😇
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for this tutorial! How often do you water your rose cuttings as they grow roots?🌹🌱
If they need it I will set the containers in a tray of water to absorb from the bottom.
Thanks Pam. Although this video is 4 yrs ago, it couldn't have come at at better time for me now watching it.The original next door neighbours had absolutely beautiful, well, maintained and ever blooming seasonal gardens. Absolutely outstanding! The current owners (foreigners) don't give a damn about the property, solely for rental income where they cram as many immigrants in as possible. So, the renters don't mind if we harvest the plants, bushes and trees for our own property. What a bonanza of free floral items! Mind you a few beers and allowing them to practice cricket in our extensive backyard also helped. So, the ability to harvest rose cuttings, a variety of mature bulbs, lilacs and other plants has been extremely beneficial to the further development of our extensive gardens. Just a matter of where to plant and get the desired floral effect throughout the growing season. So this video will definitely help us in cloning roses from cuttings just as did your video on propagating clematis. We live in Toronto, Canada the same climatic zone as yours, 5a. Regards to your family and thank you again for taking the time to relate your practical knowledge through these videos.

Yay for you! Sounds like a great plan. That reminds me, I have some rooted rose cuttings in my greenhouse I need to pot up. I wish you great success.
Cool I didn't know that grafting also applies to not only trees and bushes but also to plants and flowers
Here grafting means splicing one plant onto another but I know different garden terms are used in different locations. I will be learning how to graft Japanese Maple trees soon and I will share that too. thanks for stopping by.
I'm in a very humid area, Do I still close up the container? I have just taken cuttings and placed them in the ground. I place 5 and 1 may take 2-3 months. Thanks for the tip on where to cut cuttings.
You may not need to cover if the humidity is sufficient, see my latest way to root roses, you may find it interesting: ua-cam.com/video/RbuuAinuEMI/v-deo.htmlsi=LELAvDZG_sj0xMu4
Hi, very useful video thank! My question, is there an alternative to the rooting hormones? Can I use a natural product? Thanks
There are many that claim different products work other than actual rooting hormones but I have not been able to get them to work at all. You might as well just try to root with nothing, which does work but takes longer.
Ive actually used aloe vera, you cut the leaf open and cut the meat and you just get the gel like liquid oozing out and then just apply it omto the wound you create on the rose
@@constantinoneri5261 Great info, thanks for sharing, I will have to try that but first I need to get an aloe plant. :)
Willow water. Cut some small branches from a willow tree and soak in in water
Honey, straight from the jar works
Can you tell me after you put your milk jugs .you have put it’s in warm place or put it outdoor or in green house I don’t have ones can I put in my houses windows getting sun light stays alway freezing
The best time to do this is when your temperatures are warmer and not the freezing winter. Here June and July are the most favorable times to take and root rose cuttings. Here is a great video on winter rooting cuttings: ua-cam.com/video/OdzrBWJYc30/v-deo.html
I teach kindergarten. I would love to have my students propagate roses for Mother's Day. I'm trying to figure out the timing. I live in an area that gets all four seasons with a snowy winter. Can I clip in late summer? Would we want to keep the clippings inside until they get roots and then move them outside for the winter? Then transplant them in bigger pots in the spring?
You can take them in Fall and try to root them on your class window sill if you have one. Or get a grow light that can sit over a table top. The only caveat is you need to count on 50% fail rate so depending on how many students you may have to take a lot of cuttings. Sadly, I don't think this is a good project for that. Maybe start some flowers from seed? You could start in January and have something nice by Mothers Day. Maybe violas or pansies?

You’re welcome 😊
Can you prop roses in the spring? May/beginning of June??
Yep, one of the best time is right after the first bloom. But you can do it even if it hasn't yet. Many times the canes are more tender and more susceptible to fungus but it is doable.
@FlowerPatchFarmhouse oh great! Thank you. I wished I came across you channel earlier. Thanks for sharing this information 😁
How often do you water it after covering it? Thanks!
As often as needed and that changes with the environment. In more humid or cooler areas it would be less of than in dryer, hotter areas. It is up to each individual to keep the medium moist but not wet.
i love this thank you for the info i already planted 360 cuttings
Wow, I wish you great success!
Will they still make it if they don’t have leaves? I made many mistakes but I think I’ve fixed it now. They are still green and had a few sprouts but the leaves wilted bc there was no humidity.
They should. Let me know how it turns out for you.
Do you put them in the sun after you put then in the milk cantiner
No, direct sun will cook them. Find a nice spot that gets dappled sun or a touch of morning sun but afternoon shade. If your weather is still very cold bring them inside an put under a grow light or in a very bright window. If it is warmer weather (above 50 degrees F) they will do find outside.
For a newbie to this, I have more questions than answers after watching this video. It would have been nice if you had shown a successful cutting with roots on, so we could know what "success" looks like. Also, are we supposed to continue to water them? If so, how often? Are they supposed to be put in a sunny window, or do they not need light? Why did you put the top of the milk jug on?
I linked the blog post for more in depth information in the description box but I will link that here for you:www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/rooting-roses-from-cuttings-or-slips/ and here is the follow up video of these cuttings being potted up after they rooted: ua-cam.com/video/xC51oH3T934/v-deo.html
I prefer showing the exact same cuttings after they have rooted to show how it works.
It's for greenhouse effect, more humid also to help with cuttings to root
@@sailormoon1716 indeed that’s correct but I don’t cut the container in half n tape, too fiddly, I cut 3 inches from just the top n tie a plastic bag with a few holes in the top n presto , works really well🙏🥂
@@apolloniatyds1402 yeah, I don't do the quick fix either.( w/sand,etc.) I like just fresh water. Like a baby in the stomach. When the roots develop, that's when I place it in soil, etc. But let it strengthen on it's own first.
Thanks for the video! I see in the comments that you have mentioned success in using sand. Is that 100% sand or a mix of sand and potting soil? Thanks again!
100% Sand.
i see the cuttings without leaves and then when you put them in the medium they have leaves what did i miss, do i put them in water for some time please explain
No, it is just a different set of cuttings. When I do this I do a lot at a time so the footage is of different ones than the leaf less. Removing all the leaves is not required but many do to avoid mildew and transpiration.
Did you make draining holes in the container first??? Ashley Toronto.
You always want drainage in containers so matter what you are growing, so yes, they have drainage holes in them. In this video I share how I do that: ua-cam.com/video/T40wa5uWFcg/v-deo.html Hope this helps.
I am trying to root some roses from cuttings in June in England. I have followed your instructions except did not wound the stems. I used rooting gel and then put them in pots with polythene over which I can open occasionally. I've then placed the pots in a tray with 1/2" water in the base. How often should I water the cuttings from the top, and should I keep topping up the water in the tray to absorb from the bottom of the pots. Many thanks.
Only water if they are getting dried out. The easiest way to kill your cuttings is to over water them. How often depends up on so many variables I cannot give you a direct answer. Test the soil when you open the polythene and see how dry the soil is getting. You want to keep it moist not wet. Wounding is a debated thing so no worries on not doing that, I have no idea if that helps or not.
Do you have to dip them in the hormone to propagate?
No, you do not. It helps speed up the process. It is always a race against pathogens that can kill the cutting before it roots such as fungus and rot. The faster it roots the better your success rate.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you for taking the time to answer my question. It's my first time trying propagation from a beautiful bouquet of roses for Valentine's day 💐
@@FearnotIamwithyou Just FYI, many bouquets are treated so they won't root, just in case your attempt turns out to be a fail. Know that it may not be you or how you did it.
Can Aspirin be used to help plants root?
Aspirin is claimed to help fungal infections and trigger immune responses in plants so anything like that can help. Aspirin used to be made from willow bark which is reputed to help with rooting plants too but since aspirin is now synthetically made I am not sure. I should experiment with it and see what happens. I don't think it can hurt.
PLEASE, can someone tell me how often to water them? I dont have a greenhouse, can I keep it on my windowsill? Thank you.
Yes, you can keep them on your windowsill and watering is relative. They will dry out differently in different circumstances so there is no one set rule. If you have a very dry environment that is very warm they would dry out faster and need watering more frequently and vice versa. So the key is to only water when they are nearly dry. My best advice is invest in a moisture meter and use it to test the soil daily and water when it reads barely moist.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. :)
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse One final question for you please, do I keep the screw top of the container on or off? and also when the water drains through to the bottom dish, do you throw that water away? I hope I managed to ask in a way you can understand! :) x
Rather than using electrical tape, try this. With a soldering iron or a large screw heated in a flame make two holes a quarter of an inch in diameter above and below the cut, on the opposite side to the hinge, and then pass a cable tie through the holes to keep the two halves together. It will be strong enough to enable lifting of the water jug using the handle.
Thanks for the idea, sounds like it would work great.
Nice vid on putting cuttings in a pot. The lid will make them rot. Any vid of the result? Let me guess, they all rotted.
Sorry to disappoint you but I have a few videos on potting them up and some of these roses are now out in my garden. So no they did not all rot.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Sure.
Pam is it OK if I do not have any root hormone, because I have already taken the cuttings off of the rosebush???
Yes, the rooting hormone merely increases the chances of the cuttings rooting before they succumb to fungus or rot by hastening it.
Oh ok thank you
I was worried haha 🤞
The only other thing I had question about……. I live in zone 7B Mississippi. I do not have a greenhouse yet lol I am keeping them on my cover back porch for now not sure what to do. Come winter. If I should move to garage or not.???

You are so welcome!
Not patented? Who is policing Roses? Likely no one. Worth the risk. Thanks for the info. I'm looking a a lot of these methods on youtube and there are quite a few variations. There is a highly aromatic rose bush we now own and it is duty to propagate it. The strongest smell I've encountered.
Glad it was helpful!
Wondering if I'm supposed to leave the cover on the jug I use?
Do you mean the lid? No, you leave the lid off to allow some air flow to help mitigate fungus.
Can we grow in garden soil from Lowe's or Home Depot?
I don't know, I have never tried any.
Maybe I missed it. How often are you supposed to water the perlite, and are you supposed to keep this "greenhouse" outdoors in the sun? You mentioned you might think you have roots when you don't...okay. When are they developed enough to transfer?
Water as needed, there is no set amount and differing circumstances dictate how fast they will dry out. Use a moisture meter if you would like to be more precise. No direct sun is not advised, kept in a shady spot during the heat. Watch my other videos of potting up these when rooted, that should help with when to transfer.
I just nip or break off with my finger some branches of roses or some plants and stick deep in ground 3 inches and hope they will take root by themselves. Does that way work at all due no time?
Some easy to root varieties will root this way, as long as the conditions are right.
You are so right why wasting a potato 🥔! ❤️
I know, right? Especially since it works better without it, at least for me.
Can you use a plastic bag instead of a jug? Thank you!
Yes you can! I just find them a bit more fiddily and harder to work with but plenty of folks do it that way all the time.

There is no set schedule as each persons climate is different. So the best advice is keep the soil moist but not wet. A moisture meter is your best bet in checking.
Can you start rose rooting in just water like you can do with an avocado seed?
I was able to start a few last year in water but it took a long time. I did it outside on my back deck and refreshed the water daily.
