Rose cuttings

Has anyone here ever tried this?
I've always wanted to give it go, but never have.

It's is about using potatoes to grow rose cuttings in:

Re: Rose cuttings

Mups, By coincidence, l was only wondering yesterday, if it were possible to grow roses from cuttings?
I have always thought it impossible as l thought roses were grafted on.

I would love to try it but l’d probably get potatoes growing instead!

I wish they had showed you the results of the planted roses in the clip.

Re: Rose cuttings

There appears to be lots on the subject - some call it a myth so I would need to read more. Easy to try though.

Re: Rose cuttings

I haven't tried potatoes as I don't buy them.
However, I've had success just using rooting hormone and compost.
I nicked a bit of a little rambling rose growing over a wall along the lane. It's coming on a treat!

All I do is tear off a non flowering shoot with a heel. Dip it in hormone, or not sometimes if I can't be bothered and stick it in the side of a pit of compost.

Re: Rose cuttings

Tried it once some time back but gave it up when the potato’s rotted and started to smell, cleaned the cutting up, dipped it in rooting powder and right now it has flowered ..three buds a weird looking yellow colour and not sure of the variety.

The moral of this story is, "Don't waste yer spuds"

Did you bury your spud in compost Vlad? If so, was it buried in the ground or a pot?

How's your Dahlias doing this year? Mine are just starting to flower. Got a pretty new one this year called 'Juliet.'

Re: Rose cuttings
