Hi Liz. My daughter was given a bouquet of roses and left them to dry but I saved one stem that has a fresh shoot coming from it. It is half way up, where should I cut it too see if it will grow?
This is amazing! My hubby's never really liked buying me flowers because they don't last, he prefers them in the garden. Now I can tell him he can buy them because I can do this! 😊
The last set of cuttings that I took was only successful with one stem, but that's one free rose and this year it should be large enough to flower. I will update on the progress of the rose cuttings throughout the year (when there is something to see).
Hi Melanie, as it is so hot at the moment (or at least it is here!), I think it's worth putting half of them into a jar of water and half in soil (and keep it well watered). If you have hormone rooting powder, you could use some of that on the ones in the soil. Gook luck and please let me know how you get on :-)
I hope you are having a kind winter, it went on and on for us this year and finished with a bitterly cold flourish! These particular cuttings didn't survive the -15C, but I've just planted out the cuttings that I took last autumn that had already established a root system and did make it through the unpleasant winter.
Liz Zorab - Byther Farm winters here good I suppose we only get to 4 C on average so hopefully my new project will come thru , will let you my progress
Are you going to give it a go? One viewer has said that she can get lots of rose cuttings to root, but has difficulty in keeping them alive once transplanted. It would be great for lots of folks to try it and share their results later in the year/next year.
Thank you for making this video! We are going to try it with our "Old Fashioned Roses". I save our rose petals and dry them, then put them into mesh sacs for sachets. The sachets are then put into my clothing drawers to make our clothes smell like the springtime. I also give them as family gifts. It is amazing how opening the drawer and smelling them make me feel happier.
I planted my cuttings a couple inches deep a couple weeks ago. I dipped them in root growth first before planting them.They’re growing tiny little leaves. I got my cuttings from my mothers day roses.
Hello from far, far southwest Virginia in the Cumberland Mountains. I wanted to let you know this video quite literally elicited a "Well, Duh!" from me. I love roses, I adore roses and how did it never occur to me to do this with them? Thank you so very much, seriously. My father and grandfather's, if they were still with me, would be shaking their heads at me not remembering them doing this. =)
This is a great idea, IF you get roses that have a great fragrance. Most roses in store bought bouquets have zero fragrance, so I would not waste my time with those.
I'm glad you had an opinion about pure living for life or what ever that channels name is. I found you and like your content. I am a new subscriber and I have shared this video to my facebook friends. It is a day after Valentines and I know there are dozens of roses out there.
I hope you get some good rose bushes. The roses in bouquets here are almost always hybrid tea roses. I have rooted them many times, but they never survive once transplanted outdoors. ( they seem to require spraying, and I don’t do that)
I just recently took wild rose cuttings and I think they are gonna make it!! I would love to have a rose garden. I'm gonna share this with my sister who's also a rose fan 👍👍
Next time you are over I will show you how they are doing - not so well is the brief answer, but the batch that I took just before these ones are blooming!
Hi Becksta, I've used a variety of ages of rose stems to take cuttings, but I haven't had any success with the oldest stems (the ones that are now brown rather than green). I hope that helps and if you decide to give it a go, please let me know how you get on. My average success rate is about 2 new plants from 6 cuttings :-)
Unless you are in the southern hemisphere, this isn't the correct method to use in the heat of the summer. As it shows in the video I was cutting just below a leaf joint or node. For soft wood and semi-ripe rose cuttings, taken in the summer, here's the video showing you how and some results of previously taken cuttings. ua-cam.com/video/rpHvqzKJnR8/v-deo.html
Hello, I didn't use any because I didn't have any. It probably would help to use a tiny amount of rooting powder. There will be an upadate video as a follow up to this video in the next week, so please subscribe and hit the notification bell to know when the update is published :-)
Do you have a video on rose hip syrup? I have a couple of huge wild roses nearby. :) Don't you worry about herbicides and other chemicals on the roses going into your compost bin?
Hi Dolly, yes I should probably worry about them, but I'm not going to worry about these small amounts. I am bought shop flowers about once or maybe twice a year. Mr J does not buy them for me at my request, because I'd rather have a tree than a bunch of bought flowers. But if someone outside the family buys them, I'm not going to sweat about the small amount that may go into the compost bin. I don't have a video on rose hip syrup, I will make one later in the year when the rose hips are out (or, I may have some hips in the freezer and could make a very small batch just to show you what I do).
Hi LIz! Back again. I will watch the video again. You set your roses out and did not state that you expected them to have roses in 8 weeks, but were waiting until Spring, next year, I think. That gives the rose stems time to put out the roots needed. Too many other videos show roots growing massively in a short time. Here is the question: #1. Will the rose stems go dormant over winter? I have mine inside and this is October. I want them to stay awake and hopefully put out some roots. If they go dormant, come Spring, do you think that they will wake up and continue to try and root, if they haven't? Thank you!
Hi Doris, I made another video about rose cuttings more recently which may help a bit more. Yes I would expect them to go mostly dormant over winter, but they should continue to quietly develop some roots (very slowly).
Hi Liz, I live in Brazil and I really like roses! I was very impressed by the way the seedlings do! Do you bury all the gems, do they spring from the ground? Do not they rot? Do you put them in the sun? It would be very interesting to make a video showing the result. A big hug!
Hi Sandra, ooh Brazil, hope you don't mind be being terribly nosy, but I'd love to know what area you are in. I have family in Brazil, which I realise is a humongous country, but it's always interesting to see where folks have chosen to live. The results - well these particular cuttings didn't survive our unexpectedly harsh winter, but just yesterday I planted out two cuttings that are now healthy plants that I took at other times (one before this video and one after these ones). It does work, as does putting cuttings in a tall jar of water on the kitchen windowsill (it doesn't have to be the kitchen!). I work on the basis that if I get one new plant from a pot of cuttings then I've got one more than I would have otherwise :-)
Obrigada por responder Liz! Intrometida? Nunca! É muito bom fazer amizades!Eu nasci em Fortaleza, capital do Estado do Ceará, mas moro em Brasília, capital da República Federativa do Brasil, Distrito Federal. Também tenho um pequeno sítio, onde planto de tudo um pouco. Seus familiares moram em que estado? Tenho uma amiga que faz mudas de rosas de buquê na água, coloca o galho dentro de uma garrafa pet, cortada ao meio e coloca a parte de cima para virar uma pequena estufa. Ela disse que tem ótimos resultados. A minha tentativa não deu certo. Mofou! O que mais estranhei das mudas que fez é que enterrou todas as gemas! Eu faço mudas mas enterro apenas uns 10 cm da estaca. Escrevi em português, espero que o UA-cam traduza para você. Senão, uso o tradutor do google e reenvio. Não falo inglês.
Oooo I have not heard of rosehip syrup before! Do you have a video on that? I know rosehips are supposed to be full of Vitamin C! This video is such a great idea! It is added to my save list! :)
Im gonna try this tomorrow with roses from my daughters funeral ive seen just putting in water also to get to root have u tried that and is it possible do this with other plants. Id like try few different types flowers from her funeral. Would be beautiful to look at flowers that grew frm such a horrible time in life.
Hello, how lovely to create some more plants from the flowers at your daughter's funeral. You may want to try using a tiny amount of rooting powder on some of the stems to give an additional support to developing roots. There will be an upadate video as a follow-up to this video in the next week, so you will be able to see how I got on with these cuttings.
I am going to show my ignorance here. I have heard of hedge rows, but I'm not exactly sure if the image in my mind is accurate. How do you define a hedge row? In my mind I imagine a thick over growth of shrubs, brambles, and assorted thorn bushes about 2 meters tall ringing the edge of someones property. I have been told a hedge row is a neatly trimmed boxwood shrubs. Please clear up my confusion.
Hi Mike, I suspect they are both correct, in my mind a hedgerow is the wilder more unkempt version withe brambles and thorn bushes and a hedge is more tidy and goes around a residence rather than a field. I use the words hedge and hedgerow interchangably, probably not what I should do, but I do anyway! Sorry not to have given you a definitive answer, but I'm not sure that in modern use of language there is one.
LIz, I am sure that you are busy, but I hope you see these questions. I was told to always keep some leaves on the stem. Supposedly, they cause some photosynthesis to happen and the plant feeds itself while we wait for roots. I see that you strip all your leaves off, so that is what I will do. I did get some rose stems from the florist that I could make up into cuttings. I put them in water with vitamins, plant hormones, all kinds of good stuff to help them grow. Here is my first question: #1 Do the stems have to root before they put out shoots? Someone told me that they have to root first, cause if the shoot first, they are using up their energy making new leaves and branches and not saving enough energy to make roots. #2 This is October. I would guess that I should see roots within 8 weeks. Did your roses take longer than 8 weeks to root? #3 I do have them in water and not any soil. I have a mini-greenhouse in my spare bedroom's closet. I have grow lights and all in there. I have seen videos where they leave the roots in water for a couple of months. Do you think that the roots will develop faster that way? Help! And, thanks in advance. Also, thank you for the update on the roses. I have been looking for someone to show the plants after they had grown. You give me hope.
Hi Doris, as you have the rose cuttings in water inside they will behave differently to those in soil outside. The roots may well develop faster if grown in water. Several people have told me that they can get roses to grow roots in water but that they have difficulty to keep the plants alive once they are planted out into the garden. My thoughts are not to rush these things and allow the roses to grow slowly and then acclimatise them slowly to outdoor conditions before planting out. Oh and leaves one vs leaves off - I didn't see the point in keeping the leaves on when I took cuttings in winter as all the roses in my garden were leafless. The cuttings taken in late summer had a small number of leaves left on them to reflect that the roses in the garden still had leaves on them. I hope that makes sense :-)
@@LizZorab Thank you for the response. The roses that I have in water are really important to me, of course. I will take your advice and go slow. I was thinking, once they are established with roots, I'll take the slow road and gently get them used to outdoors. But, that won't be until next year. In the meantime, I'l watch them kick out shoots. Love your videos.
Hi Bambi, I've just made an update video in which I answer your question, it will be published in the next few days so please make sure you are subscribed and have hit the little bell so that you are notified when the video is published. :-)
I saw this a bit too late as i had a lovely boquet for mothers day, I was drying them out until my sister came to stay and put water in the vase. So now they are in the compost bin lol. Will definitely try this next time ☺
Hello Leah, it won't make any difference for the purposes of rooting the cuttings during the dormant season, if you are taking cuttings in spring or summer it may be worth leaving one leaf on, but not many or the cutting will lose too much water through evaporation. I hope this helps :-)
Thanks for making this so simple and clear! I still have a question: You said you leave them outside for a full year, do you take them inside or cover them when it gets seriously cold -- say -10F??
Hi Tammi, -10F?!?! wow, that's very chilly. We don't get temperatures as cold as that here, our temperature range is in the region of 15F to 85F, and we don't go below 25F very often, so we have a fairly mild climate. I think I'd put them into a greenhouse or inside a barn for a while if the temperatures were getting much below 20F and if it's going to be cold for an extended period. I hope that helps and good luck with your rose cuttings!
An update on the progress of the cuttings can be found here ua-cam.com/video/OA1o_MhZGRo/v-deo.html

So do I. It would be a lovely legacy. ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope all of the cuttings take root.
Aaaw that would be lovely if you got a rose to nurture rose for remembrance ❤
Thank you! My husband's grandmother used to do that!
You are so welcome!
Great cuttings
I had no idea it was that easy to plant starts from your bouquets. Thank you for sharing.
Seems to me that nature wants to grow, all we need to do is give it a little helping hand!
The roses were very Beautiful! I am excited about this project, hopefully at least a few will make it and take root! Have a great day!
The last set of cuttings that I took was only successful with one stem, but that's one free rose and this year it should be large enough to flower. I will update on the progress of the rose cuttings throughout the year (when there is something to see).
Great blog, I discovered this last spring. Hopefully have some nice ones this year. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sandra, thank you for dropping by again, it's great to see so many people propagating their own plants!
Gosh, I hadn't a clue you could propagate roses like that! I truly learned something valuable today! Thank you so kindly, Liz💕🌹🌹
Thank you, I didn't know you could start roses that way. I also didn't know it would take so long.
Awesome just got an assorted bouquet of roses yesterday for my birthday I have always dried them but I have a new project on hand thank you
Hi Melanie, as it is so hot at the moment (or at least it is here!), I think it's worth putting half of them into a jar of water and half in soil (and keep it well watered). If you have hormone rooting powder, you could use some of that on the ones in the soil. Gook luck and please let me know how you get on :-)
Liz Zorab - Byther Farm thank you for your response wow , am in Auckland NZ so it's winter right now
I hope you are having a kind winter, it went on and on for us this year and finished with a bitterly cold flourish! These particular cuttings didn't survive the -15C, but I've just planted out the cuttings that I took last autumn that had already established a root system and did make it through the unpleasant winter.

Ooh im going to give this a go thankyou x
You answered my Q before I asked. About the grafted roses. Such a clever idea. Hope you have a wondyday.
I’ll say it again Liz...YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!! Finally I have a use for cut roses when people give them to me.
Find me on Facebook via Geoff if I don't come up in a search, I have some thoughts about doing a collaboration with you.
Liz Zorab I’ve sent you a message on FB xxx
thank you for sharing.....i didn't no this is how you do it......
You're welcome Jody. As I said sometimes it works well and others not. Nature is funny that way!

Best time of the year to take cuttings
i had no idea you could do this. thank you ever so much
You're welcome Susan. I will try to take cuttings from just about any shrub, not always with success, but I like the trying anyway!
Love to see update on these.
Great video, I've been wanting to propagate some roses thanks Liz.
You never know what you'll get, the flowers should be the same as the cutting but there's no way of knowing the shape of the plant until it's growing!
You are truly amazing thank you for your videos stay safe.💖💖
So glad I found your channel! I had no idea roses could be started this way...now I'm tempted to see what else I can snip and regrow! TFS 😊
I tried this method today! Fingers crossed we’ll get rooted roses.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! Thank you for making this video!
You're welcome! The results can be a bit hit and miss, but I think it's worth a try.
I planted my cuttings a couple inches deep a couple weeks ago. I dipped them in root growth first before planting them.They’re growing tiny little leaves. I got my cuttings from my mothers day roses.
So cool. I had no idea!
That was awesome! I have learned something cool. Just clicked like button lol .Happy Valentines day!😊
Thank you! I hope you've had a good day too!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DOLL! I was admiring the roses in the background. thought they were tuberous begonias!🌹
I hope you get some good rose bushes. The roses in bouquets here are almost always hybrid tea roses. I have rooted them many times, but they never survive once transplanted outdoors. ( they seem to require spraying, and I don’t do that)
It's a shame that they don't survive.
I just recently took wild rose cuttings and I think they are gonna make it!! I would love to have a rose garden. I'm gonna share this with my sister who's also a rose fan 👍👍
Thank you I've wanted to do this for so long. I wonder if it would work with some market bought roses
It should do Annie, did you see Monty on last night's Gardener's World talking about his rose cuttings?
I had no idea you could do this! Thanks for the info! :)
I did not realise you could do this from cut flowers!!! How are these doing now? I didn't realise they were usually grafted either.
Next time you are over I will show you how they are doing - not so well is the brief answer, but the batch that I took just before these ones are blooming!
@@LizZorab could you give an update on the ones that are blooming. I just did this with my valentine bouquet.

Nice one Liz. sue xxx
Thanks Sue!
Nice vid btw, cheers 👍
Aw thank you!
Is it 1 year old wood you’re meant to use? Or can I use any of the branches old and new?
Hi Becksta, I've used a variety of ages of rose stems to take cuttings, but I haven't had any success with the oldest stems (the ones that are now brown rather than green). I hope that helps and if you decide to give it a go, please let me know how you get on. My average success rate is about 2 new plants from 6 cuttings :-)
Liz Zorab - Byther Farm thanks so much for the advice, yes that has helped heaps thank you. I won’t take any of the brown stems :)

Liz can you show us how to check for rot and see if they are rooting?
Yes I can, I made a video about this, you can find it at ua-cam.com/video/vRuNoyjin3w/v-deo.html

No need of rooting hormone? And how old the bouquet was?
I rarely use rooting powder. I took the cuttings about two weeks after I received the bouquet. For better results it is worth doing sooner.

Sounds like a jolly good reason to buy yourself a bunch of flowers, there may be some cheap in the shops after the Easter break. ;-)
When you cut the roses off the stem. Why not make your own rose oil.

Can you post the results of your cuttings
There are two videos in which I look at how the cuttings are getting on and the cuttings I have taken in the past. I will add them in a second reply.
@@LizZorab where can I find them? Love from Sweden
You didn't leave any leaves on the plant, doesn't that make a difference? I would like to see what the roots look like. You're too cute!
Hello Leah, it won't make any difference for the purposes of rooting the cuttings during the dormant season, if you are taking cuttings in spring or summer it may be worth leaving one leaf on, but not many or the cutting will lose too much water through evaporation. I hope this helps :-)
First time I see propagating roses from bouquet cuttings and stick them so far down into the soil.
I would like to see a video of how many rooted.
Hi Bruno, the update has just been published here ua-cam.com/video/OA1o_MhZGRo/v-deo.html
Any update?
Hello, thank you for reminding me, I'll give an update in Monday's vlog.
Not removing any bark
Why do you push them in so deep?
So that more of the leave nodes are in contact with the soil giving more chances for them to develop roots. It seems to work :-)
@@LizZorab Oh I see .
I see you are not using a rooting hormone why?
Hi, thanks for watching, there's a simple answer to that .... I didn't have any!
I planted cuttings from geraniums without a hormone powder and they are doing well.
Thanks for making this so simple and clear! I still have a question: You said you leave them outside for a full year, do you take them inside or cover them when it gets seriously cold -- say -10F??
Hi Tammi, -10F?!?! wow, that's very chilly. We don't get temperatures as cold as that here, our temperature range is in the region of 15F to 85F, and we don't go below 25F very often, so we have a fairly mild climate. I think I'd put them into a greenhouse or inside a barn for a while if the temperatures were getting much below 20F and if it's going to be cold for an extended period. I hope that helps and good luck with your rose cuttings!
keep us updated
Hello AJ! How are you? Thank you for stopping by.
You could show the result too.. half knowledge is dangerous
