I’m just seeing this now and I have to say not only do you make it look easy but you are as sweet and beautiful as your roses! I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial! I will definitely be trying it myself! You didn’t even need a dome or plastic bag! I love how organic your method is. I will see if I have any eligible cuttings tomorrow morning! 😊. Thank you so much and God bless you!
Thank-you for sharing. I have a 60 year old rose bush put in by our home’s original owner. Our neighbor built a shed & it is now in too much shade; so I need to move it. I have been afraid to do so because I might kill it. So now, thanks to you, I know how to take some cuttings before I try to remove the original plant.
I failed miserably this month when I tried to take a cutting of my fabulous 3 year old climbing rose. I thought it may root in water. It didn’t! 😄 I’m doing it your way this week Liz. Fabulous video. Thank you. 😻
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I have wanted to take cuttings and try to start some new rose bushes. You just inspired me to give it a try. Thank you.
Liz, thank you for the detailed tutorial. I saw this video back when you first made it, but didn't have any roses to take cuttings from. I still don't, but I have 18 fresh cut roses from the arrangement made for my dad's memorial service. I am hoping for at least 1 plant to raise to maturity. I get my urge to garden from him. Dad always had to have elephant garlic, potatoes, and spring onions in his garden, regardless of whatever else he grew. Anyway, thank you again for the detailed instructions to help me with my project.
It absolutely should do as you are taking a cutting of the grafted plant and the root stock usually determines the vigour of the plant. There's no telling whether it would be a climber or shrub, but that's part of the fun, isn't it?
How do you over-winter newly rooted rose cuttings? I have a cold frame, but no greenhouse. I also have a cool sunny basement window. We get cold winters, usually with lots of snow.
Thank you for this video! Your garden is beautiful 🌹I have just done this today :) I've placed it by a north facing window. Do you think it can still root now in a couple of weeks? or do you think I should've waited until summer to plant the cuttings? Many Thanks 🌹:)
Hi Lea, thanks for watching. No the rose won't root in two weeks, it will take more like 4 - 8 months. You can still give it a try now, I've done successful cuttings taken in March.
Yes I probably did, but it would have been nicer to be able to show it intact and then explain why it's not a great idea for it to flower when it's so tiny. LOL
I have found that florabunda varieties seem to root fairly easily, while grandiflora's take much more effort. 'Old roses' and climbing roses also root readily. At least in my marine/Mediterranean climate in the far PNW.
There's something healing about growing things. It changes a person into someone wonderful apart from the healthy foods they harvest and consume. It doesn't take a cape or superpowers to become a hero. Save the planet earth by starting your own garden.
Absoutely! I've just published a video about rose care during the winter months and how to get a good crop of rose hips next year. You can find it here ua-cam.com/video/_vsUKlvyklM/v-deo.html
@Fireflyonthemoon Yes you are correct, especially hybrid tea roses because they are usually grafted due to a very weak rooting system. Also, store bought roses or bouquet roses - because those are often pre-treated. I’ve always had luck getting roots started but they never survived. 😢
Hi, I appreciate this video is rather old, but have you had success of using a cutting from the top? I have a small rose bush (well, it's too small to know if it's a climber to be honest) but do you think its worth waiting till it's grown bigger before I take a cutting? Thank you for this tutorial btw, it's very informative :)
Yes I have. As long as you aren't cutting away all the leaves on your plant, why not give it a go? Realistically, my success rate is 10% to 50%, so don't despair if your first cuttings don't take, just keep trying!
Lovely, inspiring video, thank you very much. I'm going to try this with an old rose of mine which is still flowering from the 1960s called Black Prince! Thank you❤👍💙🧡💜
Hello Brenda, thank you so much for subscribing, that's very kind of you. I had made a video previously where I took the cuttings and so many people asked how they had done that I made video which included the results. But two videos to look through was just a bit cumbersome, so I made this one which hopefully shows how well the cuttings can root and also that they don't always work!
Wonderful let me try again. Root powder missing ingredient. Plant sides of pots great tip. Thank you Liz, I Inherited LOVE FOR ROSES from my mother who successfully grew her healthy standing Rose's- Vibrant colours!!
Hi Liz great video, what's your thoughts on when taking cuttings, do they need a mini-greenhouse environment to root, I noticed that you didn't use this method but had success without it and what length of rose cutting should I take, there are many different opinions regarding the length.
Thanks for the good information, Liz. You're making me want to take some rose cuttings. We've never been very successful at getting them to grow well. I need to learn.
Hi Jeanette, it sounds like I've done my job well today! I wasn't successful until a few years ago, I think I was too fussy with them, nowadays it is cut, push into compost, water and leave and if it works then that's great and if not, well I just try again :-)
Hi Kate, I imagine that for much of the year roses really struggle with the heat in your area. Last year when we had the hot dry start to the summer the roses stopped flowering, but as soon as it rained and cooled down a bit they sprang back into flower once again :-)
What a nice simple explanation, thank you. If you get the chance read the history of the 'Peace' rose It's got WW2, France and the Germans in it. Genetically the mother of almost all roses now. I used to help my father bud around 250 roses every year. Briar root is stronger than a rose cutting root but as I don't have any briar stock I'm having a go at cuttings. I'm going to be over cautious and do one to a 6 inch pot. My roses still grow in inches.
You have answered many of my questions. I still have a few that you didn’t talk about in this video. I’m a new subscriber, so excuse me if you have already gone over it in a previous video. First question, does the rooting powder just slide off when you are shoving it in the pot? Second question, how do you know where to make your cuts? Last question, what is the difference between the 3 leaves versus the ones with more than 3 leaves? Thank you.
Hello Tina and welcome, the rooting powder will stay on the very end of the cutting and presumably gets wiped along the length of the stem as it's pushed carefully into the soil, so then it will act on the full length of the stem and encourage roots to form along it. I show in the video to make the cuts below a leaf, because that is where the roots will grow from. Plants are super clever in that their cells can change function, so cells of the stem will change to become root growing cells - it's all amazing stuff going on under the soil where we can't see it happen until it's done! Not sure what you mean about 3 leaves and 5 leaves - sorry!
I was pleased to see that I've been doing everything properly, but I don't know why my rose cuttings always turn brown and die instead of rooting. I've tried rooting hormone, rose food... I did exactly everything in this video, but every time...
Hi Liz, loved this video. I took quite a few cuttings in Aug/Sept of this year and propagated them by cover with a plastic bag, many have taken root. I used cinnamon, aloe vera and honey as rooting hormone. Now they are producing leaves and growing, how long over winter months should I leave them in their pots, or pot on in separate pots. Is it best to plant in ground in the coming months. Sorry I'm a novice when it comes to roses. Thanks Liz
Hi Mary, it depends on where in the world you live and whether you have a sheltered space to keep the cuttings over the winter. Cuttings may show growth on their stems before they put out roots, so don't rush to get them into the ground.
I live in Ireland Liz. I propagated a good few rose cuttings using plastic bag method and a few of different variations are showing growth on the stems. I have sheltered space or under a row cover. Thanks for your advice.
I was going to take cuttings in early September as that’s what I’d heard was the done thing, so it was interesting to see that you’d managed to get results taking cuttings at the end of May. I’ll be giving it a go later this week 😎👍
Hi Adam, this video was published in mid-August 2019. I would usually wait until there are semi-ripe stems to take cuttings with, but it might we worth a try with some soft wood cuttings in May. Please let me know how you get on!
Hi Barry, oh that's interesting to read, although that's rather sad to lose them. I will keep my fingers crossed that these cuttings survive a long time!
This is like, magic! And to think that all the roses that were super special to me, given to me by people who meant more than anything, could've been made to grow, I regret I didn't know about this. But I do, now!
Thank you; I hope I did OK by taking cuttings at the end of August, covering each pot with a clear plastic bag and leaving them all in the shade. They don't even all have a leaf but fingers crossed anyway!
Liz thankyou so much for this. I am going to visit my grandmothers old home and get a cutting from her rise bush that is still there. You are a gem for sharing this.By the way your comos looks fabulous behind you.I adore Roses, have one that is 20 years old , that i bought after we got married.
Hi Lorraine, if you have the opportunity to take several cuttings it may be worth it as it will give you more chance to get a plant. I find I get around one plant for every four I take with roses.
Thank you for this video, your roses are certainly beautiful! A question concerning watering cuttings during the winter months. Mine will be in a container on a table outside which has an overhang , which means it will not recieve rain water. Should I water the rose sparingly?
Hi Anne, yes let it have some rain water during the winter. It shouldn't sit in a pool of water as that could rot the stems, but getting plenty of water all year round will not harm it.
@@LizZorab i placed my cuttings in about an inch of water (all 8 of the cuttings) and they all have survived and are all still providing shoots! Eventually i will place them into compost. Experiment success!
I wish to make cuttings from a rose as I’m moving. I’ve cut off my pieces of roses, dipped them in rooting hormone and put in a pot of rooting compost. Should I cover the pot with a plastic bag? If so should it be completely covered? How often should I water it and where should I put it. It is now Sept 22nd so it will be (hopefully) rooting during winter indoors. Thanks for your help.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean that you have taken cuttings that look different? Or do you think the pot and plant have changed in my video? This was filmed all on one day and I'm showing cuttings that I took at different times of the year.
Liz, I have followed your instructions for propagating some rose cuttings. However, I have a greenhouse and placed the plant pots (and cuttings) on the floor under a shelf to provide a measure of shade. Sadly, many of the cuttings have not survived in recent weeks. Would it have been better to place a cut clear pop bottle over single cuttings and placed in a shady place outside the greenhouse for better results I welcome your advice.
I don't use a cover, they need the air to circulate around them, otherwise there is a risk of mould and rot. I have only ever had success when putting them in a sheltered spot outside (sheltered from strong winds and very harsh sunshine), they do need some light, some rain and plenty of fresh air.
I put a few rose cuttings from a bouquet straight into the ground last week . I,m not sure it will work and they will root. A pot was not going to work out for me. I,ve never taken cuttings from a bouquet before. You gave me the idea after a video you previously made. My cherry tomatoes have produced really well. Haven't we had some awful weather. I keep looking out for a vlog from Tony Thanks for another marvellous video Liz Love from Margaret
Hi Margaret, they should root okay in the ground, I have already filmed a video about it, but it will have to be another video for another day, I just didn't have time to edit it all into one long video :-) Yes the weather is dreadful. Tony is working on a new video, so I imagine it won't be too long before you see one :-)
Very useful video, thanks... I moved to England and live in rural Derbyshire with my husband now, so I am new to gardening but I like experimenting and grow things myself rather buying ready plants in garden centers... Have a question, what compost do you use for rose cuttings... Is it important to use a special mix or just multipurpose ... Thanks
Back in the 90s there was a guy who removed all the thorns exactly as you did! and when I asked him why he said its so the rooting powder will have some thing to stick to and help make stronger roots. Not sure is it is true though but kind of makes sense. The Tops will grow no problem there. Just keep them damp and spray the leaves in dry weather so they do not loose to much moisture. 300 Dog rose cutting tops say they will root haha That is just hedge clippings by the way
Would you let us know about how often you water them. Also is this something you only do in Spring and Summer: September is getting into fall, I would imagine it is getting too late to do this.
Hi Carol, watering - well I live in Wales which is known for being a very rainy place, so I water them when the compost feels dry about an inch below the surface. As autumn progresses I don't water at all because we have so much rain. If you are in a very cold part of the world, you may need to take them inside or under cover during the winter, in which case water sparingly over the winter months without letting the compost dry out completely and turn to dust. September is a good month to take cuttings as is October in a temperate climate. If it's very hot or very cold you may want to adjust timings accordingly. I hope this helps!
A friend of mine has a beautiful rose Bush that's just prolific, so I'm going to ask her if i can take some clippings. Cant wait now, Thank you liz. That white climbing rose is beautiful. And excellent tips you 've given us there. Your pink roses are so beautiful xx
Thanks Liz I have taken some rose cutting and I am hoping that they will take I have watched this great video and I think I have done it right so thanks for this video xxl
Good video, just realize that it is precisely one year ago since you uploaded it :-D, and the same day I post my first rose cutting video today(rose Peace ) smiling, how are they doing your cutting, would be nice to see them now one year after :-) best wishes from Denmark, Namaste
Hi, I did an update after 6 months, the video is here ua-cam.com/video/7z7QcNpL_lY/v-deo.html and I've showed the individual roses at different times over the summer as they have started to flower.
Sadly the rose cuttings taken from the birthday bouquet didn't take - but nothing ventured, nothing gained. With the building work happening next year, it's very likely that an old rose will be uprooted, so I'm going out armed with my snippers and having another bash. My grandmother did that with an Albertine rose - just stuck it in the dirt! The rose (name unknown) reminds me of her front garden - so it'll be nice to have the continuance in this garden. Many thanks xx
Hi Kerry, I have successfully moved very old roses. One 50 year old rose fell apart when I lifted it, the roots just separated into three and so I had three plants to put back into the ground in an area that hadn't had roses in it before. I really hope that you can get some cuttings to take of the old rose and that you can move it successfully.
I think cuttings will be the one to do - there's a lot of bindweed in that bed! I'll be doing fuchsia cuttings and sifting through some other plants - there's some alstroemerias that were a surprise and a beautiful red geum - quite whoa Nellie coloured LOL! And a dirt bath for the pheasants and the chickens! No bindweed in that bit - must encourage them to bath a few feet over!
None of those tips work, I have tried them all countless of times....it only worked way back in the day with the vintage rose bushes, my mom would grow them from cuttings, all there is now is crappy junky hybrids....
I'm sad to read that you've been unable to get rose cuttings to grow for you. As you can see I've been able to take cuttings and they have grown roots.
Eh? I have half a garden full of roses from cuttings, you must be doing something very wrong. Hybrids don't do well, cos they depend on grafted root stock, but they do survive. Old fashioned roses? I have pots full of them, climbers & ramblers especially. You might also look at Monty Don's vids, v helpful. My only criticism is that semi-hard cuttings should be taken later on in the year, late Sept / Oct. If I see a vigorous rose anywhere, I take a few semi-ripe cuttings, non-flowering growth late season. Details: GQ compost, moistened first; poke a hole with a pencil; trim the cuttings under water, remove all but one leaf & thorns lower down to expose open cells & gently brush rooting compound over the lower part & put into the compost. Leave in a light place out of direct sunlight. If its very dry, put the pot into a plastic bag to reduce transpiration. Keep the post moist at all times, not wet, and talk to them regularly. I really would like you to succeed.

Thank you for video ,could you tell me potting mix THANKYOU
Hi Mary, it's a general purpose, peat free compost.
Gorgeous, lush pink rose! Yea for ads!
Hi Cymbre, it's a ridiculously beautiful rose! And yes hooray for those other things too :-)

Thanks Steven, glad that you've enjoyed it :-)
Great video Liz. Will this method work for grafted roses on hardy root stock too?
It absolutely should do as you are taking a cutting of the grafted plant and the root stock usually determines the vigour of the plant. There's no telling whether it would be a climber or shrub, but that's part of the fun, isn't it?
How do you over-winter newly rooted rose cuttings? I have a cold frame, but no greenhouse. I also have a cool sunny basement window. We get cold winters, usually with lots of snow.
In our climate the rose cuttings can sit in their pots outside, you could put them in the cold frame to give them protection from the snow.
@@LizZorab Thank you! I'll do that!
I've never seen anyone put the cutting so deeply into the potting mix. Doesn't that increase the likelihood of rot?
Not as much as it increases the surface area that is in contact with the compost and thus increases the chances of root production at the leaf nodes.
Thank you for this video! Your garden is beautiful 🌹I have just done this today :) I've placed it by a north facing window. Do you think it can still root now in a couple of weeks? or do you think I should've waited until summer to plant the cuttings? Many Thanks 🌹:)
Hi Lea, thanks for watching. No the rose won't root in two weeks, it will take more like 4 - 8 months. You can still give it a try now, I've done successful cuttings taken in March.
Can you tell me where you place the cuttings , in shadow or in sun? From Portugal
wow so two months to start roots ? nice work 👍thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi, yes I was surprised at how quickly they had formed roots, there have certainly been cuttings in the past that haven't made roots after 4 months!
You probably did it a favpur by snapping the flower off. 😊
Yes I probably did, but it would have been nicer to be able to show it intact and then explain why it's not a great idea for it to flower when it's so tiny. LOL
I've heard only wild rose can grow through cuttings is that true ?
I have never heard of this about rose cuttings. I show you in the video that I have grown cultivated roses from cuttings
I have found that florabunda varieties seem to root fairly easily, while grandiflora's take much more effort. 'Old roses' and climbing roses also root readily. At least in my marine/Mediterranean climate in the far PNW.

water the compost first before putting in the roses with the rooting powder on , or you will wash all the rooting powder of
Some rose varieites are virtually impossible to grow from cuttings. If you have been failing with one type of rose, it may not be your fault.

Thanks i love flowers too and i love any one loves flowers love you
Hi how often do you water them not sure if I understood
Thanks for the informative video Liz. Can I ask what medium you pot the rose cuttings into? Is it straight compost or some sort of mix?
I have used standard pest free compost and also garden soil (which works less well for me as the weed seeds germinate so quickly).
I have found roses easy to grow from cuttings, but the resultant plants tend to die after only a few seasons.
Hi Barry, oh that's interesting to read, although that's rather sad to lose them. I will keep my fingers crossed that these cuttings survive a long time!
Very nice thank you 👍

My rose plant is quite high and starting to show red leaves now. Can I take a cutting now or do I need to wait for it flower first?
Now it likely to be fine. 😃
@@LizZorab I've given it a go! I've put it in a glass jar with another glass jar over it so I'll see if it starts to root over the next few weeks 😃
Thank you; I hope I did OK by taking cuttings at the end of August, covering each pot with a clear plastic bag and leaving them all in the shade. They don't even all have a leaf but fingers crossed anyway!
Let me know how they get on. I've never covered rose cuttings, but I have done it with other plants to help prevent loss of water 😃
Can you leave them outside in pots, I haven't got a green house. Thanks
Liz thankyou so much for this. I am going to visit my grandmothers old home and get a cutting from her rise bush that is still there. You are a gem for sharing this.By the way your comos looks fabulous behind you.I adore Roses, have one that is 20 years old , that i bought after we got married.
Hi Lorraine, if you have the opportunity to take several cuttings it may be worth it as it will give you more chance to get a plant. I find I get around one plant for every four I take with roses.
@@LizZorab very good advice Liz, thanks so much. Of course will be watching this again as a tutoriul.
Im rose plant lover, i really enjoyed watching ur video.
Thank you so much 🙂
How often do u water
Great video!. Can i use mixing of water and honey or apple cider to replace rooting powder? Thanks

Thank you for this video, your roses are certainly beautiful! A question concerning watering cuttings during the winter months. Mine will be in a container on a table outside which has an overhang , which means it will not recieve rain water. Should I water the rose sparingly?
Hi Anne, yes let it have some rain water during the winter. It shouldn't sit in a pool of water as that could rot the stems, but getting plenty of water all year round will not harm it.
@@LizZorab i placed my cuttings in about an inch of water (all 8 of the cuttings) and they all have survived and are all still providing shoots! Eventually i will place them into compost. Experiment success!
Nice watching and listening too
Thank you Caroline!
Thanks Liz! I’m going to try this summer
Fab, please let me know how you get on 😃
How long from routing to being able to put them on??
They can be potted on or planted out as soon as there are a few healthy roots.
I wish to make cuttings from a rose as I’m moving. I’ve cut off my pieces of roses, dipped them in rooting hormone and put in a pot of rooting compost. Should I cover the pot with a plastic bag? If so should it be completely covered? How often should I water it and where should I put it. It is now Sept 22nd so it will be (hopefully) rooting during winter indoors. Thanks for your help.
Hi Ruth, you don't say which country you live in. I do not cover the cuttings in a plastic bag as that can encourage mould or fungal growth.
first cutting with black container after few weeks later container had changed, and the cutting look different as well :)
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean that you have taken cuttings that look different? Or do you think the pot and plant have changed in my video? This was filmed all on one day and I'm showing cuttings that I took at different times of the year.
Liz, I have followed your instructions for propagating some rose cuttings. However, I have a greenhouse and placed the plant pots (and cuttings) on the floor under a shelf to provide a measure of shade.
Sadly, many of the cuttings have not survived in recent weeks. Would it have been better to place a cut clear pop bottle over single cuttings and placed in a shady place outside the greenhouse for better results
I welcome your advice.
I don't use a cover, they need the air to circulate around them, otherwise there is a risk of mould and rot. I have only ever had success when putting them in a sheltered spot outside (sheltered from strong winds and very harsh sunshine), they do need some light, some rain and plenty of fresh air.
I put a few rose cuttings from a bouquet straight into the ground last week . I,m not sure it will work and they will root. A pot was not going to work out for me. I,ve never taken cuttings from a bouquet before. You gave me the idea after a video you previously made. My cherry tomatoes have produced really well.
Haven't we had some awful weather.
I keep looking out for a vlog from Tony
Thanks for another marvellous video Liz
Love from Margaret
Hi Margaret, they should root okay in the ground, I have already filmed a video about it, but it will have to be another video for another day, I just didn't have time to edit it all into one long video :-) Yes the weather is dreadful. Tony is working on a new video, so I imagine it won't be too long before you see one :-)
Very useful video, thanks... I moved to England and live in rural Derbyshire with my husband now, so I am new to gardening but I like experimenting and grow things myself rather buying ready plants in garden centers... Have a question, what compost do you use for rose cuttings... Is it important to use a special mix or just multipurpose ... Thanks
Multi purpose is ideal and so is garden soil.
Back in the 90s there was a guy who removed all the thorns exactly as you did! and when I asked him why he said its so the rooting powder will have some thing to stick to and help make stronger roots. Not sure is it is true though but kind of makes sense. The Tops will grow no problem there. Just keep them damp and spray the leaves in dry weather so they do not loose to much moisture. 300 Dog rose cutting tops say they will root haha That is just hedge clippings by the way
Would you let us know about how often you water them. Also is this something you only do in Spring and Summer: September is getting into fall, I would imagine it is getting too late to do this.
Hi Carol, watering - well I live in Wales which is known for being a very rainy place, so I water them when the compost feels dry about an inch below the surface. As autumn progresses I don't water at all because we have so much rain. If you are in a very cold part of the world, you may need to take them inside or under cover during the winter, in which case water sparingly over the winter months without letting the compost dry out completely and turn to dust. September is a good month to take cuttings as is October in a temperate climate. If it's very hot or very cold you may want to adjust timings accordingly. I hope this helps!
A friend of mine has a beautiful rose Bush that's just prolific, so I'm going to ask her if i can take some clippings. Cant wait now, Thank you liz. That white climbing rose is beautiful. And excellent tips you 've given us there. Your pink roses are so beautiful xx
Thanks Annie, please let me know whether your friend donates some cuttings to you and also how you get on with them. :-)
Thanks Liz I have taken some rose cutting and I am hoping that they will take I have watched this great video and I think I have done it right so thanks for this video xxl
Fingers crossed that they grow roots for you, please let me know how they get on.
I wish I had seen this video before losing a very old rose bush to the wind... It smelt so nice!!! Thanks for the tips. I will surely try!
Good video, just realize that it is precisely one year ago since you uploaded it :-D, and the same day I post my first rose cutting video today(rose Peace ) smiling, how are they doing your cutting, would be nice to see them now one year after :-) best wishes from Denmark, Namaste
Hi, I did an update after 6 months, the video is here ua-cam.com/video/7z7QcNpL_lY/v-deo.html and I've showed the individual roses at different times over the summer as they have started to flower.
@@LizZorab ohh i see smiling, thanks a lot, nice to follow :-)
Sadly the rose cuttings taken from the birthday bouquet didn't take - but nothing ventured, nothing gained. With the building work happening next year, it's very likely that an old rose will be uprooted, so I'm going out armed with my snippers and having another bash. My grandmother did that with an Albertine rose - just stuck it in the dirt! The rose (name unknown) reminds me of her front garden - so it'll be nice to have the continuance in this garden.
Many thanks xx
Hi Kerry, I have successfully moved very old roses. One 50 year old rose fell apart when I lifted it, the roots just separated into three and so I had three plants to put back into the ground in an area that hadn't had roses in it before. I really hope that you can get some cuttings to take of the old rose and that you can move it successfully.
I think cuttings will be the one to do - there's a lot of bindweed in that bed! I'll be doing fuchsia cuttings and sifting through some other plants - there's some alstroemerias that were a surprise and a beautiful red geum - quite whoa Nellie coloured LOL! And a dirt bath for the pheasants and the chickens! No bindweed in that bit - must encourage them to bath a few feet over!
None of those tips work, I have tried them all countless of times....it only worked way back in the day with the vintage rose bushes, my mom would grow them from cuttings, all there is now is crappy junky hybrids....
I'm sad to read that you've been unable to get rose cuttings to grow for you. As you can see I've been able to take cuttings and they have grown roots.
Maybe my mom had more of a green thumb than I...
Eh? I have half a garden full of roses from cuttings, you must be doing something very wrong. Hybrids don't do well, cos they depend on grafted root stock, but they do survive. Old fashioned roses? I have pots full of them, climbers & ramblers especially. You might also look at Monty Don's vids, v helpful. My only criticism is that semi-hard cuttings should be taken later on in the year, late Sept / Oct. If I see a vigorous rose anywhere, I take a few semi-ripe cuttings, non-flowering growth late season. Details: GQ compost, moistened first; poke a hole with a pencil; trim the cuttings under water, remove all but one leaf & thorns lower down to expose open cells & gently brush rooting compound over the lower part & put into the compost. Leave in a light place out of direct sunlight. If its very dry, put the pot into a plastic bag to reduce transpiration. Keep the post moist at all times, not wet, and talk to them regularly. I really would like you to succeed.
You didn’t mention how often to water , thank you
What size pot do you use? Thanks
Do you cover them keep watering them ?
After putting the cuttings in the pot, can I just leave it open in the shade or I have to cover it with a bag or in a some kind of green house?
Here in the UK I just leave them in the open, uncovered.
@@LizZorab Thank you. I am in California .
Thanks for the brilliant advice
Thank you. I wonder if you water those pots with just planted cuttings. If so , then how often. And do you cover the pot with anything?
Yes I water them when just planted and again if the weather is very hot or very dry. I don't cover the pot.
Liz Zorab - Byther Farm Thank you!
Do we can use any kind of soil?
Either use soil from your garden or a general purpose compost.
@@LizZorab thank You, will Try Tonight, can use soil From my Garden So dont have to go To buy It
new subscriber here
Welcome!!
Super helpful! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Good video, very imformative PS are you allowed to take D Austin cuttings ?
As far as understand it, you can as long as it's not for commercial purposes.
@@LizZorab Good as i was thinking of buying one of his roses and i came across "no cuttings"
Thanks for posting. I recently tried some cuttings but they ended up rotting. Going to have to give it another go!
It's worth keeping on trying. I take masses of cuttings, lots fail, but the ones that root and grow make it all worth it.
Liz Zorab - Byther Farm thank you! I have a new batch I’m working on right now... I think they may be taking!!
Hi can you help me please
Thanks Liz....youre a Rose among thorns!!
Aw, thank you!
Thank you so much.
