I think your method requires such huge waiting times just because you're taking the hardwood cuttings, which is totally unnecessary at this time of the year. The easiest way is to take a cutting when you deadhead, just go three nods down from the spent flower- it gives you a perfectly ripen semi hardwood cutting which roots in 3-4 weeks. The rest of your approach with cutting the node and removing the leaves is perfect. You want to take the hardwood cuttings in the fall/winter as you need them to survive through the winter, but if you take your cuttings in June-July - no need for that, just take semi-hardwood cuttings and that will root and establish way before the winter starts.
I tried doing this and putting cuttings into my garden everywhere some do have some growth alweady but what do I do in winter ? They are tiny Miny and it gets cold where I live and I can’t move them obviously
You have achieved pro-level in propagation. People always start with propagation domes, artificial light, tools/soil sterilization... and then end up with sticking up twigs under the bushes... with 90 percent success 😄
@@donaldkasper8346they do grafting because they can sell plants next year while propagation from cuttings will take one year longer. Plus, some cultivars have weak root systems or sensitive to pH level.
@@donaldkasper8346I could buy own root roses at local garden center. Some varieties come both on root stock and own root. They come from local commercial nursery. Seeding and grafting - tried that, but took me 2 years to get what I can get from cuttings in one year. Actually I don't know what one should do to cuttings to get 0.001% rooting success. If done properly in right season you get at least 30% with most problematic varieties. Usually it's like 60-80%.
@@donaldkasper8346you assume too much. Just checked website of my local garden store - some varieties available exclusively on own root. E.g. Kordana miniroses. Mulch (which I don't use for rooting) is not "molded wood". You have rather simplistic understanding of soil microbiom and plant immune system. I don't use wood chips in my garden, I just don't like it. I use peat and perlite mixture for rooting with B. subtilis as a biofungicide. They sell it locally in bags, marketed for tomato growing. Sometimes I do it myself.

Great video. I used to try in the past with no success. Now i have worked out how to do it. If you dont have Root Hormone just dip into cinnamon powder and honey. Also make a hole in the soil with a pencil and then place your cuttings in the holes. As I am in Australia and it is winter I have cut the bottom of 3 litre plastic milk containers and leave the lid on and place over the cuttings in the soil for humidity and protection. Water the soil before you place the cuttings in. 90% of my cuttings rooted after 6 weeks.
I’ve honestly never had much success with cuttings, so I’m very excited to try this method the next time I want to propagate. Thanks so much for sharing!
Fantastic! Thanks, Kimberley. I love how this speaks to the reality of being a busy/distracted gardener! Something to look forward to doing as it is winter here. Actually, I might even try putting some hardwood cuttings next to the mother plant. I imagine they will take longer to form roots.😊
What do you do after the 4-6 months? Up-pot it yes, but with winter coming in how do you take care of them until the following spring? I am zone 6 SW Missouri. Thank you for your helpful videos!
Hi Kim, The humidity in my place is between 76 and 81% and the temperatures are between 84 and 90 degrees now. Should I keep the lid of the plastic container of the rose cuttings open during the day and night. The container is placed outside in a shady location in my backyard.
This is really interesting. I have been doing the same thing for a few years and I have almost 100% success. I started doing it by accident and then saw how good it worked. I don't have the same success with the regular methods. And it's so easy. I have stuck several in the ground with no rooting hormone as well and they rooted great too,
Please try it! You will want to take the cutting with the first flush of blooms. Keep it really close to the mother and make sure you use pine straw or whatever protection you use for your mother rose to cover the baby during the cold winter. Fingers crossed that by spring you will be successful! Keep me posted.
Hi Kim, This video is so helpful! I just stuck few cuttings of my Litchfield Angel and Emily Bronte at the base of the mother plants. I have one question. I don’t have drip irrigation in my garden, so I water the roses myself either with hose or with the watering can. Will these cuttings rot while watering during the whole summer? Please advice. ❤
I'm not feeling that great right now so forgive me if this was said or asked. Will this work on both own root and grafted roses? I plan on only getting own root going forward but still have a few grafted roses.
You must live in a warm state? I live in Michigan and putting the cutting in the fall, we have harsh winters, freezing temps where the ground freezes. I don’t think some of us can do what you should us?
Great video. ThanQ. Novice but obsessed gardener with tonnes of happy roses! Blue moon is my fave and HUGE! Bigger than my hand and my cat's head. Lol. Slightly different topic, but would you prune new root ball roses in the first year? Or should I leave them to grow naturally just that first year? Obviously removing any dead/sad canes though. Huge thanks in advance. xxx
Sorry for the delay in my response. I have been working on a renovation and my life feels crazy. LOL. I need to find Blue Moon. It sounds amazing with blooms bigger than your cat's head! Wow. I am picturing that now. For first year roses, depending on how quickly they grow, I typically let them be. In the fall, I cut everything to waist high to ensure they don't snap in the wind. If your first-year roses are taller than that, I would trim them.
Great Video. Can you tell me if you can do this in spring or summer too in the SanFrancisco Bay Area in the South Bay San Jose area? Also can we adopt this method to any other species such as Bougainville villa ? Your method is like no fuss method so I really like it.
I have done this after the first flush, second flush.....all the way through August! I would certainly give it a try with other species. I have also used this with boxwood. Sending wishes for success!
Hi Kim, I stuck some rosé cuttings last week at the base of the mother plants. Should I just leave them uncovered until Spring? Or should I have to cover them with clear plastic bottles? I am in zone 7a, Connecticut.
Covering them with clear bottles wouldn't be a great idea because if the sun hits them, they will thaw inside and then refreeze and night. It will be a cycle that could kill the rose. I would just cover them with pine needles. Best of luck!
@@TheRoseGeeki Kim! I found a Russian sage at my local Stew Leonard garden center, it was the last one they had so I grabbed it! It says it will grow 3-4 feet tall, so I hope it does well.
I assume in this video you pulled them up in feb/mar to plant them in their new space. Im in a similar zone and have attempted the same, planting the cuttings in the fall, with similar results now in feb/march.. As it's my 1st time, do you think these will turn into blooming plants already this summer? Thanks
There would be a lot of root competition if you leave the babies. I haven't tried cinnamon yet. Experiments are fun! If you try it, let me know how it works for you.
Now is a great time! I am lifting mine this week and potting them up. Keep them next to the mother for a week or so and watch for any decline. Then move to a new area if you like. Good luck!~
Keep trying! It will happen one day. Have you joined our propagation facebook group? Lots of great ideas in there also. Hopefully there are people from Texas who will share their methods.
I did this with my climbers when I pruned them out of sheer laziness with no hormones and it totally worked!
This is the way how I propagate my rose, so easy and no label required 😊 love it

Agree that often people complicate things unnecessarily.

How often did you water the cuttings?
If so do you have to open the lid and water from the top?
Excellent! Thank you for sharing your method. I might have to try this!
This is genius!! Thanks for sharing!! After you pull them out how do you pot them up? Will you do a video on those next steps?
LOVE this! Thank you, I'll give it a try 🌿

Looks so easy, I will try it. Thank you for sharing this! 😊
Hmmm, I like this experiment! I will give is a try.
So excited...! Going to try my Lady Emma Hamilton. I heard it is retired now and I love this rose. I'll let you know how it goes...

Hi, what time of year you plant the cuttings ?
This is almost too good to be true!
Even with 250” of snowfall in 5b, I am going to try it this year.

How cool wow I'm definitely gonna try that! Thanks for the video. I'm gonna share this on my channel and mention you. :)
Hi Kim, thanks for the tips!🌹
Kim, do you cut severely through the bottom node or just below? It was difficult for me to tell exactly. Thank you!
Me too
Just below
@@TheRoseGeek thank you!!
Such a helpful video! Thanks!
It totally works for me with a very high success rate
So glad you like this method as much as I do!
Looks super easy but I don't have space so I grow roses in containers so do you think this method will work for containers? I would love to try.

I have had the most success with semi-hardwood taken right after the first spring flush. It is always worth a try though if you can take them now.

How does it not rot from watering the mother rose?
The mother must protect it a bit. I hope you will give it a try and see if it works as well for you as it does for me.

What about cinnamon and then sticking into dirt. Cant you just leave them instead of potting?
There would be a lot of root competition if you leave the babies.
I haven't tried cinnamon yet. Experiments are fun! If you try it, let me know how it works for you.
No watering?
I have found that water causes them to rot. I just plant them next to the mother and let them be.
When is it safe to move those propagated babies to new place?
Now is a great time! I am lifting mine this week and potting them up. Keep them next to the mother for a week or so and watch for any decline. Then move to a new area if you like. Good luck!~
Tried many times but unfortunately didn’t work for me😅
Keep trying! It will happen one day. Have you joined our propagation facebook group? Lots of great ideas in there also. Hopefully there are people from Texas who will share their methods.
You don't need to plant near mother, instead do air rooting method, i did 100 percent clone like that
I like air layering also. It is a great method. Thank you for watching.
Dubbing this method the Crockpot propagation method. Set it and forget it!
