Hardwood rose cuttings
Last autumn I took Monty don's advice and took some hardwood cuttings form rose 'Mum in a million'. Two out of seven have taken and are now looking very healthy. I did use rooting powder, and as I don't have any suitable ground, I put them in a large container in a mix of compost and coarse sand. I also took some from a very old rose, variety Unknown, that have taken and have even produced flower buds recently. I have removed the buds in the hope of strengthening the stem growth. What Monty didn't make clear is when is the right time to remove these cuttings from their current container and either plant them into the ground or transfer to individual containers. The question then, is does anyone have experience of this.
I have no idea how long it will be before any decent flowers are produced.
I am sufficiently encouraged to take more cuttings this Autumn from other varieties of rose.
