Hardwood Rose Propagation: New Soilless Method
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- I've been testing this new method of rooting roses from hardwood cuttings - and get this: it's soilless! The idea is to get the cuttings through the first stage of propagation - the establishment of callus - in controlled humidity and temperature. My summer results were very encouraging, and now I'm trialing the method for winter rose cuttings.

Interesting. I've looked at loads of vids about taking cuttings, learn something every time. My success rates vary from 50% to 0%! So this year, I have included lots of little details from different presenters. Here in the UK high temps are not usually a problem, but getting the humidity right is, so I have made myself a simple raised cold frame where I can check them regularly. Some commentators tell you to take off all the leaves, some say leave one small leaf - my preference, so I can see if they are drying out to quickly. Some say remove thorns & brush rooting powder on the soft tissue underneath, which I have done. And one suggestion - scrape off a little of the green bark, expose the white tissue & brush on powder, for more roots. Certain varieties root easily, others not so. I left some Veilchenblau prunings on the ground by accident & they rooted. If I remember, I'll let you & readers how I get on. And if they all die, I'll 'fess up.
IT WORKED! I'M SO HAPPY! THANKYOU JASON! MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND PROVIDE FOR ALL YOU LOVE! I took a super long cane in febuary and cut it into 40 and got 13 proper, big healthy plants with roots and lots ot leaves ready to go in the ground (one went out in z10 May and is flourishing) six nice plants from fatter than pencil thick, four from pencil thick, and three from skinny cuttings. The other skinny semi hardwood cuttings nearly all failed (few roots and blackened) some are struggling. They are from a medium sized fragrant pale pink bud to full white cluster rose with dark green foliage that has been here since at least the 1960s, along with an enormous fragrant white banks rose canopy and peach lady hillingdon arch rose. I'm looking forward to propagating them too. THANKS AGAIN!
Helen, where did you get the white Banks rose? I'm always looking for climbing or ramblers to put around the property. Thanks.
Hi, Did you plant the cuttings in sand or moist perlite and placed them on heat mat under grow lights after they grew some calluses? Please let me know. ❤
@@lullasierra1 Hello, sorry I didn't get your comment in my mail. The roses are in Guatemala. Hope you can find one near your home. I heard somewhere on the web that the largest and oldest in the US is in Texas and they celebrate weddings under it.
@@sarmishthabanerjee1057 Hello. Its always 'spring' where I live so they went outside in a shady corner 16-24* with a few extreme days for excitement. I stuck them into a variety of plastic and terracota pots full of homemade compost and garden soil. Now they are in the gardens. Here for a refresh class.
I have no ideal of hard wood and soft/ semi-soft wood propagation in the past. I just know that I can grow new rose from cuttings. I pruned my rose this spring instead of winter of last year, I just cut about 10 thick woody stems and put into the soil without any hope. I found out 2 stems grew roots after about one and half month later. The success rate was pretty low but not zero, that's what surprised me.
New update, I planted that 2 "rooted" stems into a small pot and they grew some leaves, but those leaves never grew into branches, for about 1 month later, those leaves started became yellow, out of curiosity, I pulled out one of the stem and found out that there is a lot of calluses at the bottom of the stem but they never developed in to real roots!!! amazing this 2 stems lived two and half months already, so far not due yet but will die soon, according to my observation.
You should leave them in the soil and mist them at least twice a day. Keep In a cool damp she’d area.
im experimenting right now with different types of cuttings size and hardness wrapped around different kinds of material from news paper to toilet paper to those small towl rags .. and its going good . some callouses build up on some and others is slower but they are all green still except 1 that was basically dead from the start . i took off all thorns and leafs .
i love that you chastise the rose for sending up new growth in december. thank you for your videos!
Jason, thank you for freely sharing your knowledge. Your delivery of information is easy to understand and is effective. I’m so glad I found your channel. I have been going through your videos and learning so much for myself. I love gardening but sometimes it is made to appear difficult and that it requires a lot of expensive products. You prove all of that unnecessary for success. Thanks for the honesty and easy methods.
My pleasure Irina - and thanks for the encouragement!
Yours is the first video I watched on hardwood cuttings! My neighbor said I could take some cuttings of her “Lady Gardener” and “Barbra Streisand.” Yay. My next project, wish me luck! 🍀😉
I propagate my hardwood cuttings in a plastic box filled with moist sand and keep this box in my garden shed throughout winter. We have mild winters. Hardly any snow
I’m so happy to have found this channel. I would like to propagate some roses in my own garden ‘ see what happens.
Thank you so much, Jason!!
I've just seen a video about rose propagation with hips and a banana, I knew it was a bit weird, next thing people will be claiming they have grown a money tree, thanks for proving them to be fake, all the best from kieron
Thanks Kieron!
This is such an eye opener ... my mind is BLOWN! I am not into roses, but I'm trying to propagate a number of woody plants ... vines, shrubs, trees, some of them broadleaf evergreens. I have learned many things from last summer's failures with my softwood and semi-hardwood cuttings. Now I am eagerly awaiting the dormant season here in North Carolina. I knew there was some reason I was saving those stacks of Chinese carryout containers. I have high hopes ... wish me luck!
Best of luck with your experiment!
Thanks so much for the Video… I tried so many times to propagate roses, but no success. I will definitely try your method and see ~thanks again😘
will try this...mygreathanks and blessings
Did you make an update video, like you mention?
Thanks Jason, i will try it right now as winter season is at its peak.
Hopefully I can keep my calloused rose cuttings alive (got some from a bouquet 💐 so I'm excited)
Great challenge can give it a try. Thanks SMILES
Been doing this in the uk for years always a great way and success
Thanks - any tips to share?
Make sure paper not too wet I roll up mine like a blanket with all the cutting out the top and roots in paper takes a little longer but if you take cuttings in December they should be rooted by February or just after depending on thickness and health of the roses when they cut
carlos2010694 - I don't understand. He did it the paperless way, right? So, I'm curious to know if you did it the way this video illustrates, in containers, no paper, no direct moisture.
Looking forward to seeing your results. Thanks for sharing.
You bet. Thanks!
Thanks, very well explained. Also interesting.
Thanks it work for me
Your channel is very interesting. I do have a Rose garden and have never really tried to do cuttings from them. Florida has already seen 98 degree weather so I guess I will have to wait until it starts cooling off. Thank you for making this video. ✌🏻❤
Ooof! 98 degrees. Might be worth trying the semi-hardwood technique for now (in a shady place). Best luck with your roses.
I used the newspaper method, and you are right, I lost some cuttings to fungus. But... 4 of 6 cuttings grew roots. :-) Will try the foam method next.
Thank you❤️ !
You are so inspiring!
Thank you for showing me there is a possibility to propagate my roses near winter! 😊
Thanks for shareing
This is what I believe , it depends a lot on the climate where your garden is, after gardening in the outskirts of London I moved to southern Italy, in my second year I cut a piece of a rose and chucked it on the land next to me, an old lady in her 80s grabbed it put it in water later she showed me the root forming planted it the garden and its fantastic plant, for me I like to cut off long piece of rose and just poke pieces 4 or 5 inches long in potting compost in trays, my philosophy is if you want 10 new roses start with 50 cuttings it costs nothing, its different for commercial growers no doubt, I had a rambler in a tub and one cane was growing along the pavement in my garden I lifted it up and was surprised to roots forming , I had layered a rose unintentionally, I cut it into pieces and finished up with nice plants for me and the old lady I mentioned, for the average gardener is propagating roses a good idea? for people here yes because roses are very expensive in nurseries, I buy roses from England and they arrive in 4 or 5 days so for me propagating is just something interesting to do, some types of roses are more difficult than other, I find climbers are easy as they so vigorous , ramblers very easy 100% will take, where I live is famous for being damp I live next to marshland and the sea, roses that suffer from mildew are not worth propagating and dumped all the mildew sufferers , in my garden top roses to propagate because the are so easy are compassion and high hopes to roses from Harkness roses
Hi Peter and thanks for sharing your experience. Here, I definitely encourage individual gardeners to learn how to propagate. It has a lot to do with "being at the mercy" of what the nursery trade chooses to put on the market. Here in Canada, fr instance, several of the larger producers went out of business or severely reduced their assortment. As a result, we lost may hundreds of varieties to choose from. If I lived in the US, where there are many more producers of the uncommon varieties, I might not be so concerned with it.
Thank you for your clear and precise video on this ! Really excellent. How long do you keep the cuttings in the outer box ? Till spring?
Another good method
Thanks
Thanks for another video with good information, I’m really learning a lot from your stuff. I hope to start a food forest and nursery. Blueberries are up at the top of the list because of low water ph. I’ll look to see if you have a video on trees.
That's really interesting - I was quite taken with permaculture myself, and even started a (very small) food forest area on my farm (Paw Paws, Mulberry, Fig, Hovenia, Italian Plum, arctic Kiwi, Italian nut pine - just anything that looked interesting to me). I've paused on that project for lack of time and focus, but I'm excited that you're following your passion.
Thank you
i love rose
This is helpful !
thank you
My pleasure!
Hi Jason
Thanks again for all your great info
I just wondered if I could bring my potted rose in the house for the winter
I live in Toronto winters can be very cold
Or should I just put it in the garage until spring
Thank you again
Patricia
Thanks for sharing to us. Who wanna try this too?
Can you please do a video tutorial how to do thornless roses and tree roses thanks
will this work without the cooler? what about without the bigger container? I want to only use materials from around the house and also to recycle/upcycle materials instead of buying materials
it would also be nice to see both temperatures (in C & F)
good
Hey Jason from experience cuttings will grow much faster if you keep the rooting side down and the leaf side up. Otherwise the hormones may be in the wrong places and it takes time for the plants to adjust. This has just been my experience and that's been with more softwood and succulent cuttings and I wonder if it applies here.
This is pretty cool I may have to try this but I do need to know what you do next 😊
I pretty much got them to a stage of callus and then planted them in potting soil. All told, it was about as effective (around 50%, give or take) as hardwood cuttings directly in the ground or in sand.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I think I may get some cuttings and try this if I can find the food contained and a tub
Sure, or just go with the hardwood cutting technique: th-cam.com/video/OdzrBWJYc30/w-d-xo.html depending on what's easiest for you.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm ok I’ll go check it out
Thanks. Over here in the Philippines it is hot and humid so I will have to find a way to maintain the temperature to 15 degrees.
Hi Emerson. In your warmer climate, I might suggest staying with semi-hardwood cuttings. They're fairly easy, and don't require any cooling!
Jason, i love to watch your videos. I'm ready to do some propagation in a styrofoam style, it doesn't need light right? At which point does it need light and when can you transfer to pots? Thanks
Hi my name is Rustum .Very interesting video .My question is how can I apply this in a place with ready season and summer only like Far East .
Hi Jason, I was wondering if you have perfected the your techniques how often to spraying and when to root them after they have formed calluses?
Thanks Ben. It was an interesting experiment, but I haven't spent a lot of time on it since because actively growing semi-hardwood cuttings are just so much faster to root.
Thank you for this video. Do you grow any Damask roses? I'm looking for Ispahan in particular.
Hi moxee33 I do grow a few - 'Ispahan' is on my wishlist, and I think I'll be able to get cuttings this year.
Very interesting, thanks, I’ll try, wish me luck.
Definitely. Good luck!
Thanks Jason for the quick reply . In Suriname, South America, the temperature is often more than 30 C.. I will give this method a try and let you know.
That's great Marcia. I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks for true info. What brand of root hormone do you use or prefer to use ?
I'm in Canada, so the brand I normally get is called StimRoot. In the US, it's more likely Hormodin or Hormex.
Thanks for the video. When and how do you plant them once prepared by this method?
If you get as far as strong callusing, the next step is to place them in potting soil and see if you can get them to root out. Sadly, this is where I've been losing too many of them. Bottom heat would probably help.
How many weeks is it taking to callaus
999 live
Thanks you
Genius
Hi, thanks for the great video.
I wonder if your could let me know what's the concentration of your root hormone powder?
It was 0.7 or 0.8 % IBA
Jason, what would the temperature be in fahrenheit degrees for safe storage, and do the cuttings need to be sprayed before putting in the styrofoam boxes?
I did my summer cuttings at 60F. Others on the forum did the "newspaper" technique at regular house temp (around 70F) with decent success. Right now, I have them in an unheated basement room where they're averaging 50F. I'm hopeful that this will work okay over a wide range of temperature. I didn't spray mine. What did you have in mind? If you do spray anything, please be sure to let the cutting dry fully before enclosing them. Any sitting water, in my experience, leads to rot.
Hi Jason, Is it required to remove the thorns or keep it? how will it make difference while propagating?
I don't remove prickles. It takes too much time, and it also opens the skin in places to be more vulnerable to root organisms. I've seen some people do it successfully, so it may be a matter for experimentation
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I have tried this method and the cutting edges started to callus, so should I wait for cuttings to start rooting or to transfer them to potting soil.
I would try the transition as soon as you have strong callusing.
Thanks Jason. Confused. You showed callous formation but no roots ? How long does it need to remain in outer bin ? How often do you open it to inspect or spray water ? What do roots feed off if they rooted ?
So, going from my summer trial experience (that's where the callus photo is from) it took an average of 6 to 8 week for heavy callus formation. I started by misting every few days, but eventually found it to be unnecessary, as the inside of the bin remained "sweaty" anyhow. Some varieties took a lot longer, and some varieties failed to root at all. The callus is forming from stored energy , so no food needed to that point. After that, you're right, they'll need to be transitioned onto food and light. I did two methods of the transition period last time - and I'm still playing around with the "right" way to move past callus formation.

Great. Thanks. Roses remain my biggest challenge to this point. I can get them sprout easily but haven’t gone to a point where they started rooting yet

@@Dee_Cee227 Stop the sprouting on top - they need roots first!
Very informative video. Thank you. Two questions. I'm in Southern California and it's considered winter, but temps are at 75 to 80 Fahrenheit. It does get cold at night and I have a storage shed that stays cold at all times. Am I able to cut hardwood now? Should I wait until the next winter? Just to be clear, after the callus stage, I then put them into soil with food?
Hi Elizabeth - I'd say try now... I've read that this method works over a wide range of temps, so pick the coolest place you can and see how it works. After the callus stage I placed them in unfertilized potting mix in a semi-shaded place until I saw new growth, then began with half-strength liquid feed. I saw some losses in this transition stage, so I'm experimenting a bit in the coming months, and I'll keep you up to date.
Thank you. May I ask how long of time would I expect these cuttings to be an actual plant with flowers? Than you.
@@elizabethannecarpenter7792 you'd be looking at the following spring, a little more than a year after taking cuttings.
Thanks for the video. I rolled hard wood with a newspaper, they seem they have roots, what's the second step? Thanks
Transition to a sterile soil mix to let them root out some more. It's okay (maybe better) if this is still done in cooler temperatures. Then, when they've developed roots, a little warmth to help the buds break.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks
Hi Jason, mate I had someone say that Climbing roses only bloom prolifically on the secondary shoots of the plant, so my question is, " taking cuttings from which to propagate a climber, should I take them from a primary shoot, the one coming from the base, OR should I take a cutting from the secondary shoots coming off the primary shoots. TIA. Interested in your response.
Thanks Darryl. A caution about that information first - there's loads of (genetically) different climbers. Some bloom more strongly on new growth than old. Some exclusively on old. Some in between. For me, I've had the best propagation success with 1st year vegetative shoots in the semi-hardwood stage. This may or may not come from the secondary shoots. I sometimes find the basal shoots to be a little thick for my regular style of propagation though.
Hi Jason, I kept few hardwood cuttings from my garden roses wrapped in damp paper towel in a ziplock bag inside a closed small cardboard box. I kept the box on my dark closet. I am opening every other day to check for molds and today I saw most of them have tiny calluses forming at the bottom. It’s 10 days now , should I wait until they form bigger calluses before planting them? Also wanted to know if I should plant them in moist organic perlite only or in moist coarse sand or any other potting media? If you can advice would be really helpful. ❤
I'd be inclined to get them into moist perlite now rather than wait.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you !❤️
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Should I plant them in moist perlite and keep them under the grow light? Or keep them in the dark closet where they were so far?
So you showed how you cut the pencil size shoot and placed it in the carton, but can you take more than one cutting from one stem or can you take multiple cutting from the same stem?
Yes, if you take a long stem off the plant, take as many sections of sufficient length and with a node on the bottom as you can.
Hi Fraser, it’s late February and having returned to Spain after winter found my unpruned roses have already just started to shoot. I’d dearly like to prune and propagate. What’s your advice about method at this stage of development? Your straightforward insights are always appreciated!
Hi Kevin, I would rule it out, but when they're actively shooting early in the season, they're more inclined to put their energy into top growth than to rooting. If I were you, I might hold off a bit and wait until some of the new growth ripens to try semi-hardwood cuttings round the time (or just after) the first flush of flowers.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Will do boss - thanks for the advice!
Thanks for this great video ! What is the best rooting hormone for this in your opinion ? Gel or powder ?
I'm using powder a lot more these days, just for price and convenience. The gels are nice to work with, but I go through them pretty quickly for the price - and I also feel like there's a little more risk of contamination. The liquids that you mix yourself (like Dip n Grow) can be good too, but I just like the convenience of a ready-to-use product.
Ok I see, thanks for your reply
Hi Jason, I am in Connecticut, zone 7a. The day time temperatures are now between 44 and 50 F . Should I try this method to root some hardwood cuttings? I have rooting hormone Clonex and Dip n Grow. Which one should I use to root these hardwood cuttings?
It's worth a try. Either of the rooting hormones would be fine, although I guess Dip n Grow you can mix a little stronger as directed.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm in the Instructions of Dip n Grow there are 2 strengths to which you can mix it to apply for the rose cuttings. 1 is to mix portion of Dip n Grow to 5 portions of water and soak the bottom of the cuttings in that solution for 3 to 5 seconds. Another is to mix 1 potion of Dip n Grow to 10 portions of water and create the solution.
Which one should I do for florist bouquet rose, semi hardwood or hardwood rose cuttings at this time. Please advice.
How about wrap them with damp newspaper and seal up with zip bag then put into the lower compartment of a fridge.
❤️
So once you have callous tissue, what’s your process then to get to the pot and roots? Directly plant into soil or any special techniques?
Hi Nathan. It's just straight into potting soil - but it's also the step where I experience some losses, so I'd be open to suggestions.
How often do you water your cuttings in your greenhouse in the winter?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I got some cuttings from someone dear to me and most of them died I am trying to figure out what I did wrong :-(
Hi Kamila. I check them every week or two, and just give them a light watering when they get fairly dry.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm gotcha I think I was overwatering them ehhhh I am watching more of your videos so I can learn more. I like that you share victory and fails too. It helps! Thank you so much for your response💝
Hi Jason. When we’ve pruned-back our roses very far in early Spring, almost all the way down to about 8-14 inches from the root, how do we determine the age of wood? Are all stems this year’s wood?
Yes - everything above where you pruned this spring is this year's wood.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm - Got it. Roses are such good fun.
Thanks for showing us.. I scrape the bottom lightly then dip it in Cinnamon and alovera it gives me a bigger percentage .. I want to try cider vinegar??
Thanks Kev. I haven't tried cinnamon or aloe vera yet - but I'll do a trial shortly on honey because I've heard so much about it.
They also say take a candle and put a drop of wax on the top .. I've not tried .. But I love to grow plants so I will try the vinegar ,,honey.. Also they say use alo ,,cinnamon,, honey mix,, i let my alo set 10 or 15 mins. I will let u know how it grows
When u try honey let me know .. I head about honey but I heard raw honey.. I don't know if that means from the hive ?? Coz of preservatives ..
1 other thing I started planting at a angle .. And had very good ratings .. Maybe a 45% angle .. Not straight up n down .. Try it then tell me
Wondered if it would make any difference if you waxed the top end of your cuttings to stop them drying out?
I see this as a common technique (especially with grape cuttings) - I haven't tried it myself.
what's the purpose of the plant cooler? Never seen one before :)
That was built for cut flowers (in buckets) after harvest to remove the field heat. The cooler is just an insulated box, so it does double-duty in spring as a germination chamber (with heat & humidity)
Can we use this process for different plants?
Hardwood cuttings do work across a wide range of shrubs, trees and even grape vines.
Hi I do enjoy your videos. Are u saying in this video degrees C or F??
I believe my flower cooler was using celsius for settings.
Thank you
Hello. I live in a very hot country. Is this method also for tropical countries?
Hi Marcia. The original method (called "burrito" or "newspaper" technique) came from warmer climates than mine, but how warm? I read from one of the experts on the hybridizer's forum that she had tested it in temps around 70F (shaded spot, cool cellar maybe) - and the callus was fairly quick. Others have confirmed that warmer=faster callusing, but I'm not sure how that results in survival/final rooting of the cuttings. I'd be interested to hear how everyone does with this modified method in warmer and colder temperatures - but for now, I'm assuming a range from 50 to 75F. Wanna give it a try and let us know? What's the coolest, most shaded place you can provide?
Hi, do you usually wait until roots appear or plant them in this stage? Thanks
I plant them once callused.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm How long after planting calloused cuttings do roots take?
I have never seen this method. Its almost Spring here in Colorado. Yet cold. I am wondering do you think I could try this method? Do you think this is a good way of traveling with plants. And about how long does this take to root about?
Thank you.
Hi Elena. This time of year may be challenging - all you need is some ripened hardwood from the same year of growth, but this close to spring most of my roses are "thinking" about shooting buds. I'd be concerned that any hardwood cuttings taken at this time would shoot before callusing and rooting. Come June or July through maybe December is when I'd take hardwood locally. To your point of traveling with cuttings, I'd say yes - it's a great method because all you have to do is keep them cool and humid. It took me around 4 to 6 weeks to get good callus on most varieties, and another 6 weeks to establish roots and some new growth. So semi-hardwood is a much faster method for within the growing season.
I so appreciate the advice. I have a rose bush, that I just love. But any other attempts at propagation, have failed. I never saw your method before, so I am excited. I would need to take them soon though, so, we will see, I will try and keep you updated. Thanks again, God bless....@@FraserValleyRoseFarm
When you talk in celsius, say the Fahrenheit too. I don't think in celsius. Thanks!

I DID HAHAHA. I JUST ENVY YOUR GREEN THUMB. MINE KEEP DYING. NOT OVERGROWING. 😊
Hello.
I am an amateur in gardening and I didn't know how to choose the rose cutting so I planted a hardwood rose cuttings with branches. Its been more than a month. The branches are still green. Will my cutting form root???
There's still a chance, and no harm in waiting to find out. I've tried cuttings before with branches, and they didn't do well.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm
Is there anything special I can do for the cuttings?
It was very difficult to find these cuttings.
G'day Jason. Great video like usual. A few questions for you. In the demonstration you placed four cuttings in the inner container. I'm assuming it would be safe to fill it a bit fuller, i.e 8-10 per box. Along the same lines, do you think it would be problematic to completely fill the outer box full of inner boxes, or is there a reason you left bulk air space?
Also just FYI, I'm in Australia and hence seasons are 6 months behind, so I intend to try this asap in our summer. Also, I've tried most of your methods in our climate, without greenhouse, and have had great success! I primarily propogate Fortuniana rootstock via cutting, and then bud on the flower variety later once the rootstock cutting has taken root. Also FYI, the potato method doesn't work in the southern hemisphere either, I tried that late last year with 0% success ;)
Thanks Jason. You're exactly right - I normally fill the container to around 12, with just enough space between cuttings to allow better air circulation. Also, on my last trial, I filled the outer box all the way with the styrofoam inner containers. At first, I opened it up every few days to mist, but found that I really didn't need to add much moisture at all.
Good to hear I'm not alone in failing the potato method! BTW, I'll be trying my hand at a little more grafting this coming season (trying to do a few standard/tree roses) - I may have to hit you up for some advice closer to the time.
First Question: What's your favorite rose?
Second Question: Do you only take one cutting per semi-hardwood rose branch you take?!?! I see that there is plenty more of the branch left after you take your cutting, would that section not work to also turn it into a cutting?!?!
Thanks. I legit can't pick just one rose, but if you nailed me down this instance maybe Daybreaker. It's been in bloom forever this season and catches my eye every time I pass it. Yes, I take as many cuttings from a stem as are in the right stage of firmness for the cutting method.
Should the outer container be dark, or does it matter?
Not too much - I guess if it's very transparent you may end up with some algae growth.
Can you plant cuttings without the hormone an all natural way
I find the semi-hardwood technique makes for the easiest rooting - and works with or without rooting hormone for many varieties (just quicker and higher % success with the hormone). Some people use willow water as a natural alternative.
HI, I followed your method and just put some hardwood cuttings in my spare refrigerator where the i can get to 10C. Is this too low? If so, next temperature i can get it is to 20C. Is that too high for this method?
Thanks.
I think I'd try the 20C
Sorry so once you get a callus , then you put them into a potting soil / peat moss medium?
Yes, I transitioned them to potting soil growing.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks appreciated your channel and feed back
Fascinating info and I love how low-tech this is, no bottom heat, no greenhouse needed. I want to go into business growing Gallica and other OGRs that are hardy in my zone 5 area. I see a lot of places (Rogue Valley, Antique Rose, High Country, and a few in Florida) that have a lot of Noisette, Tea, and China that I can't grow! I just applied for an import permit for France/Netherlands, I want to bring varieties that aren't available yet. I have my other business set up to where I can afford to do the whole 2-year quarantine and everything. Crazy! Do you wholesale or retail or combo? If you retail do you sell on-site or at events or at a storefront?
Hi Kimberly. Great to hear from others who are working to the same goal. I haven't looking into buying from Europe at all, but I can still grow my assortment quite a lot by ordering from some of the US suppliers you listed. So far I'm doing direct local sales, mainly at farmers markets, garden clubs and plant sales. Slow going because I'm keeping the day job too, but my eventual hope would be to try Canada-only mail order or some larger selling events on-site at the farm. So far, just staying agile and following what works! Best luck to you!
You also reminded me that I belong to the Rose Hybridizers Association, I will have to stay more current on their forums. I am "Reigning Roses" over there, that is to be my nursery name :)
Great name for it!
Very interesting indeed! How long does it take for the sticks to develop roots?

Would about 70degrees Fahrenheit be okay?
I haven't tried it that high personally, but from what I've read it should be okay - just remember that the warmer temps may push the callus and shoots to develop a little faster than in my example.
Put some moist perlite in that large bin
Hello, the jewels started to appear on the bottom and up, is that normal, thanks
A little extra callus is not usually a problem, unless it indicates too high a concentration of rooting hormone applied.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks a lot
After you cut them to the length of a pencil can you use the top of the cutting that you set off to the side
Yes. You can as many cuttings from the same cane as meet the length requirements, and so long as they're still an appropriate width and firmness. Just make sure to trim the bottom end below a node, and the top end above. Thanks!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm okay thank you sir
Hey how far down do we cut xx
For hardwood cuttings, I go as low as I can on the stem (while still leaving healthy stems for next year's growth.
Which Felco no. do you use please?
No. 2 usually, but just because it's most comfortable in my hand.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm Thank you very very much .
Hi
I wonder how one can own and operate a farm at a young age like you? Did you inherit the farm from your parents and also inherit the knowledge they had collected during their lifetime?
I'm not all that young. No, not family (either for money or skills) - it was 20+ years working retail management, then I went to horticulture school and took an entry-level job at a plant nursery to get some skills. We bought the small acreage with the greenhouses when the real estate market wasn't quite so high. So I guess you'd say: patience, good luck and a long-term plan.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Congratulations. Also you have my admiration.
I like your videos very much. They are realistic and have so much in values to offer. I am watching your videos as I am working on "my farm", aka my front yard and my back yard, which total about 2000+ sq ft. The land in Northern California is expensive as gold. I am always thrilled to see people having big farms on youtube. I am not so much interested in seeing big houses. I inherit my father's love for trees/plants and animals. TH-cam has no filtering system, so audiences can see many videos of fake contents, like those you analyzed/exposed or some ask-4-donation staged animal rescues.
How can I propagate rose cuttings in water?
I've had an easier time in potting soil, but I'll try again this year. One grower recommended very shallow water and I think I'll try that.
Thank you Jason for your reply..God bless you❤
Doesn't an angle cut at the base have more surface area for water absorption? Don't know where I got that idea!
I'm not sure the cutting (in soil at least) is absorbing moisture at all until roots begin to develop. An angled cut definitely has more surface area. Is that a good or bad thing? I'm not too sure. More surface for callus = good. More surface for rot organisms to attack = bad. I've been doing straight cuts exclusively based on recommendations, but testing angled cuts might not be a bad idea.
