Thank you, that was so clear and totally understandable and especially delivered in a lovely Welsh accent. It is so applicable to our Scottish climate.
I grow them from seed. It takes a lot longer and can be trickier and cuttings are certainly the easier way to do it but I like seed growing with roses. As roses don't grow true to the parent plant from seed, the fun part (other watching little seedlings grow) is arriving at that time they get their first bud and you're waiting to see what colour it will be.
@@simplifygardening definitely. I'm just about to sow some that have been in the fridge for most of our winter now it's finally spring here (you wouldn't know it the way the weather has been though!). I've probably left them in there a little too long but I'll stick them in and see how they go
@@simplifygardening it's not so much they become unviable but that they will germinate in the fridge if left in the fridge for too long. Had it happen a number of times when I've forgotten about seed I've tossed in there. If they germinate in the fridge they're pretty much cactus. I've grown on a few that have germinated in the fridge but you only end up with weak struggling seedlings so not worth it.
very helpful video, i always enjoy watching other people's techniques.. ive noticed the best thing i can do with my cuttings is leave them be for two months in wall watered cocopeat, out in the garden away from direct sunlight in a clear box- no watering. just forget about them. ive done this method in early spring, mid summer, and late summer- and i've been successful.. not bad for a novice gardener bored during lockdown! it's my first attempt doing 6 semi-hardwoord and hardwood cuttings in winter.. im sceptical these will work but im doing it all for fun anyway.. as an experiment i've kept 3 cuttings on the radiator next to a well lit window and the other in my conservatory which is fairly cold..
Hi Tony, you recently gave me advice on moving an established rose which thanks to your help was successful. Last October I took cuttings from said rose and one or two of them have been successful. One cutting has actually got buds on it. Could you please tell me when I should plant them in my garden?
I'm going to try this tomorrow, I have but 1 rose bush and want more, but cost preventing me from this. Thank you for your time and effort to share with us
Great suggestion! I dont have any to move, but cut it right back after it goes dormant and then cut a large root ball wrap in burlap and move to where you need, the plant will not have anything to support with a weaken root system so will recover quickly
All my cutting in mulch rot. You also did not say how often to water and where to water. Take off the bottle and water? Water around the bottle? Hardwood is brown bark. Semihardwood is green. That is the distinction. Rooting compound does zero for all plants I use it on versus do not.
my favourite way to take rose cuttings is after dead heading. i wait a couple of weeks after dead heading and look for new buds forming at the leaf axils. as you said, cutting at a node and reducing the foliage, then a fine scrape to open the cambium layer. i dont need cuttings any more than 8". i do use a light dusting of rooting hormone over the scrape and never have any problems. like everybody else, i never have 1000% rooting, but never far off............................brian
Nice video, as always. Some questions. 1 peat moss, not recommended for this I guess? (Holding too much water I figure) 2 50% general potting soil and 50% mason sand would work? (Our big aloe Vera was too big and I used a 50/50 mix of potting soil sand/gravel for concrete mix to repot it and it's pups, they all look great and I have some bags of mason sand around) Our roses are feeling the fall so no more nice flowers or leaves so just put cuttings without leaves in so,e pots now would work? (I have done this just sticking cuttings in soil earlier in the season with success and gifted those plants, but well I plan on a pre winter pruning soon so epic I could use the cutting that would be awesome.
Yes generally you need to keep it free draining. watch this video as it will give you more tips on how to grow them so treat the cuttings similar ua-cam.com/video/bzJ9kJJB4wA/v-deo.html
Maybe it's high time to get a few more of that lovely Peace rose around the garden. I might even try a few cuttings of the native Scotch rose that I grew from seed collected from a plant growing on a nearby beach - lovely plant, don't know why breeders don't do more with it.
Thank you so much for this informative videos! I have been watching over this. I have a success with cutting. Looks like it rooting and shooting in June here in Wales, Uk My question is when do I transfer this into the garden? Can I do it now or should I wait till feb/March next year??
Can I ask how to stop my roses getting black spot? I've been afflicted this year and even my cuttings from last year (which all took, yay!) were as well. Is a plant ruined if it gets black spot? I've currently just cut off all the black spot off the plants (including some of the stalks which looked like they were affected).
Hi Emily. i do not currently have a video on black spot, However, I do have a full in-depth article on it and you can read that here simplifygardening.com/black-spot-roses/
Can you please do a video on small hoop covers or row covers, the different materials ie, shade cloth, plastic, and other types of protection and when to use them and what they are used for. I see them so often in videos and I am thinking of buying some, they are expensive where I am so need to make an all rounder choice. Where I am Victoria Australia, we get some cold stuff but not usually under 0 c, more like between 0 and 10 at night and 8 and 15 during the day in winter no snow and Hot stuff an average high in the 20's to 30's with a few 40+ C in summer with hot winds, occasional hail from storms in summer
Jennifer I already have this video planned in for January ready for a few weeks before they will be required. I understand it will be your summer but my programming is jammed up until then but this was one of the videos I am wanting to make
@@simplifygardening Great I look forward to it. My gardening life has been put on hold anyway (double bypass surgery) so the timing will be fine - Just in time for the hot stuff to start and I may be back at it by then.
Hey Tony! Hope you’re doing well. I tried this with Floribundas and it worked ok. Love roses but the soil in Atlanta GA is mostly hard clay. Can you do your next video on what to give roses for them to thrive? Thx buddy!
Lyn obviously if you take the cutting above the graft you will get the same blooms as the rose you're already seeing. What you won't have is the characteristics of the rootstock, so if your rose was grafted to dr Huey rootstock, for instance, this rootstock is used in order to have a longer budding season. when you take a cutting from the grafted plant you won't get those benefits, so in this case, it may not flower as long due to not having the benefits of that rootstock and it will grow its parent root system. Does that explain it for you?
Do roses help bringing in pollinators ?? I see them as nothing more than more work as the produce nothing practical , no food . So is there another upside to roses other than they are pretty and fragrant ?
Awesome tips Tony, I've tried propagating the amazing smelling roses we have, but haven't had luck, will try your specific tips. Also want to try to propagate our grapevine that was given to us from my Father in Law.
@@simplifygardening I'll have to check them out especially if this is the time to do it. It holds special meaning and would love to multiply them, instead of buying from the store. I've propagated my Mom's plants and though she's passed 7 years now, it feel like she's with me every time I water.
@@SuzyTopAgent Suzy Grapes are so easy that even if you cut below a node and just shove it in soil it will grow. But check out the grape playlist there and i cover it in a couple of the videos
@@simplifygardening since learning this a few years ago, still learning, we now plant cuttings of everything when the trimming is done. I now have 200 little hedge plants growing and 30 or so figs. We have a 100 year old home and garden and recently moved an old nectarine tree from too close to the house. 6 months later we have 89 nectarine trees growing. Do you think they will bare fruit one day?
I thought roses were grown on special root stocks, I’m puzzled as the roses grown from cuttings will not have this root stock so presumably will be very different from the parent??
The rootstock usually controls one of two things Neil. It controls vigour and can help with a longer blooming season. The rose above the graft is the same. however it will produce the original roots this rose would have had, so it may get taller than usual or may not bloom as long. Does that help you understand now? It is still a viable way in which to obtain new plants but without the characteristics of the rootstock, but does not mean the blooms will change drastically.
If the roses are copyrighted you are not supposed to propagate them, But it's my understanding this is to sell on. Who would know if you do it to your own plants in your own garden
i read that plant patents stand for 20 years, no copying at all, for any purpose. i have the plant tag for one plant in my yard. i looked up the number online and found the 20 year patent expires jan2021.
When you sow your rose hip seeds and you like what you get after a few years, you need to use cuttings or you only have that one. I have some that all family members and many friends have cut from. If you do that for business then you need to have a network, not only online, for people to find them. Nature is generous with her seeds and properties, so her empire spreads!

Great tip Peg. Honey is a great substitute for a rooting hormone

Hi - great video, so next spring, when they should have rooted, what do you do next please? Thank you 😀
Pot them into a 1 litre pot and allow a good root ball to form and after the last frosts they can be transplanted into their final growing spot
So take them from roundabouts? Noted.
Hi thanks for the video. My cuttings have started to get shoots from the sides, does that mean that they have rooted?
Thank you for this video. I love planting from cuttings from my other flowers but have never tried my roses. New Sub here.
If somebody wants to use a disinfectant for cuttings, try dipping the cutting in honey or turmeric before potting.
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
How long do you need to leave the pop bottle on for? I've had my cuttings on a windowsill for about a week and they have new growth already
Great tutorial, Tony. This is one of the best I've seen. I'm using similar methods to propagate some yew plants.
Thats great Scott. Yew is a great hedging plant is that what your using it for?
@@simplifygardening Yes, hedges and I want to experiment a little with topiary.
@@GardenerScott oh cool. its something I have never tried Scott. could be cool

Thanks, Michael
Great video!!! I was just wondering how much you needed to water them whilst waiting for the roots to take hold???
the soil needs to be damp prob once or twice most or you cause rot
Fantastic Tony ! Peace out fellow earthling .
thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
@@simplifygardening Very much so Thank you
Loved your roses, Tony
Thanks Susana

They bring in pollinators, but they keep the misses happy they feed the birds in winter and you can make rosehip syrup and rosehip wine from them
if you put the cuttings outside during winter with the dome and all . do you still need to water them periodically
Yeah but very infrequently you dont want to cause issues with drowning the cutting and causing them to rot
