- čas přidán 2. 10. 2019
- Today I share how to root and grow roses from cuttings fast and easy on your window sill. This is the second part of a few videos on rose propagation.
All of these methods I have used myself to successfully root rose cuttings. I share what I like about the propagation technique so you can decide which way suits you best.
Some affiliate links may appear. I may make a small commission if you purchase through these links.
Water cuttings only as needed, keep the soil moist but not wet. I like using this moisture meter to keep tabs on how much moisture is in the soil: amzn.to/3uTDLhD
Want to see the results? Here is the video of me potting them up: • Potting up Rooted Rose...
All of my methods are fast and easy. I am a lazy gardener. Meaning I don't have a lot of time to spend in my garden so it needs to thrive with little care from me.
Almost everything I do needs to be simple, effective, and budget-friendly.

Hi, I am Pam of FlowerPatch and I grow in Zone 8a in the mountains (though many times I really do believe it is closer to a zone 7 with my microclimate). Welcome to my channel and all that I share. I only share my personal experience in the garden. Successes and failures. Gardening is never "one size fits all" and there are so many variables in everyone area. I choose to garden organically with nature as my guide. I want my garden to be beautiful but also a haven for wildlife. (except the bears, they are just too destructive around here) - Jak na to + styl
That’s how I do it and I have a good success rate too. Although I usually soak them in water for a week and when I see the thick white bumpy texture of the base roots appearing, I then follow through to how you’ve done it.
I’m the SE of England UK…. I’m finding taking cuttings in March when growth production is fast, that I get roots faster. Once they appear, they go into a good free draining soil. I use sharp sand instead of perlite as it’s become very expensive here since covid.
Just found your channel and so far I’m loving your content and your “just try it” attitude. I think that’ll help new gardeners too. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, I have switched to sand as well and have found it quite effective and budget friendly.
Just watched both your tutorials on roses from cuttings. Can't wait to try! Thanks so much.
It is fun. I just checked on some I am trying to root and I think I saw some little white roots but they were so small I didn't know if they were real roots or my wishful thinking. I should know in the next week or so.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse My husband and I did 6 containers!!! If they all root we will have a rose garden LOL :)
Thank you for sharing this info. You made it look so easy. I'm really excited to give it a try. 🌹
Have fun!
This is very similar to the way I did it, except didn't bash it😄 Mines are really miniature cuttings & quite short so im giving it a trial and error to see what happens.
Trial and error is the best way to find what works for you. I wish you success!
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed it and Thank you for all the great information
Thanks for sharing. I’m excited to try.
Have fun!
I'm going to try it. So many cutting in one container! Who knew!! And in October.
It is so fun to try different methods. I have another up my sleeve and I will post that one soon.
Hi, I propagated roses without hurting them at the bottom. They rooted quite well .. Thank you for the video.
Yes, me too and yet others swear by that tactic. Who knows for sure. Thanks for chiming in here.
Thanks so much! I'm going to give this a try this summer.
Careful, it gets addictive.
Can’t wait to try this!!🌹
Have fun!
Very useful, well done video.
Glad it was helpful!
I keep unused Chinese restaurant chopsticks on my potting bench to use to make holes for cuttings. They have a nicely pointed tip and are free for the asking.
I use a variety of recycled items too, I also have bamboo shoots I have pruned from my bamboos. Great minds think alike!
Great video! You are an amazing teacher. I will try this way also.
You can do it! I am now using straight horticultural sand which seems to keep them from rotting as easily. Just a helpful hint.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thanks so much!
Hi Pamala. Thank you for posting this how to on propagating roses. I will be back to see more when I get time. This is part 2. I haven't seen part 1 yet. Lol. Sorry to hear about you getting frost so soon. We are right behind you for that. I heard tonight Friday Oct.4, for us in Woonsocket, RI. Take care until next time.🌻💗
Thanks for watching, I love propagating plants so I often experiment. We got the freeze but it did less damage than I anticipated. I did put out a new video on the results of the freeze.
Thank you so much, my sister used to take cuttings from rose's like that.
That's great. I especially enjoy propagating vintage roses.
👏🏼Thank you for share
You are so welcome
Thanks for sharing your easy, wonderful tips! Want to experiment immediately but need to get rooting hormone.
It isn't absolutely necessary but it does help speed up the process when you use rooting hormone.
Thanks for the guidance! Plenty of good information to follow.
You are welcome.
❤ this video
It is fun to root roses.
I'm going to try it thank you..🌹🌱
It is fun and always a learning experience. Be sure to try different varieties of roses as some are easier than others.
Love chicken sound
With 20 chickens I get plenty of chicken sounds. :)
Thank you Pamela for sharing how to propagate roses. Can you please throw some idea how frequently to water them or how should we retain moisture
Watering is based on your conditions so water as needed to keep the soil moist but not wet. In drier climates that will be more frequentyl and in more humid climates it will be less. That is why I cannot give a definite frequency or amount. The lid on the cup should retain the moisture enough but let there be airflow so it reduces the chances of fungal problems. I hope this helps!
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you so much for reply. Another question is. I live in Virginia and it is fall started . So is it ok to plant new rose plants in the garden right now or will it die because of cold weather coming in
Glad to see that I am not the only one who saves odds and ends of clear containers for gardening. I have the hot fudge sundae containers from McDonalds.
I haven't tried those but I didn't even know McDonalds had hot fudge sundaes! I am missing out. Yes, I do enjoy showing how I reuse everyday items, it makes for a budget friendly garden.
Thank you. Very informative.
After the roses have rooted and you can see the roots in the container,
How do you transplamt them into a pot?
I shared how I do it in this video. I would recommend making sure there are a lot of roots so it can really take off. czcams.com/video/AuC0lBi4EBg/video.html
Hi, after propagation and leaves pop, how do you transfer to ground and feed? Loved your 2 videos. 💜🤓
I pot it up incrementally as it grows then when it is about 2 years old and full of great roots I plant it in the ground. Or I plant it into a much larger pot and give away.
Where can I buy that white root hormone stuff?
I really enjoyed your both videos.
Thanks.
Amazon has it. If you go to the blog post I have a link to it, there is also a link in the description box.
Thank you! I'm going to try today. Do you water them at all after planted?
Only as needed. That differs according to your local conditions, humidity, temperatures etc.
Thank you for this video. I have used various percentages of compost (or potting soil) and perlite to root roses. I've never heard of using 100% sand. Does that work as well? Seems like there wouldn't be as much air getting to the root area if using sand only?
My friend who used to work at her parents nursery eons ago and would propagate plants on a large scale only roots them in sand and she has great success. Right now I have several varieties in some sand to root and so far so good. I will report in again on the success rate.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thanks for the information. Please let us know you success rate in using sand. I have plenty of sand around but have not tried using it for rose propagation. It's sterile for sure, but I just figured a mix of potting soil (or compost) and perlite would provide a 'looser' soil and more air to the roots instead of sand. BTW, do you use regular fine-grain "play sand" or some specific type of sand? Thanks.
I think in California I can do this at anytime of the year because the weather is always nice here
I live in California too, but I cannot do this anytime of year as I live in the mountains with cold snowy winters and the roses are dormant. Though you can do hardwood cuttings, they just are harder to root.
What did you use in compost?? Also did you water with a type of water ie something added??
I usually add sand or perlite but you can use straight sand in this. No I just use plain water to moisten.
What do you do after they root? Do you plant them in the ground or in a training pot? Wait til spring? It's July for me now (central Italy with lots of snow in the winter) and I am about to propagate a climbing rose. Tthe cuttings will be planted around the trunk of a dead apple tree that has great branches. I think it will look great.
Thank you.
Here is me potting up the cuttings. I often pot them on to larger pots as they grow and keep an eye on them until I feel they are big enough to pop into the garden. That is not absolutely necessary. My grandmother used to bury the pot in the soil during the winter to insulate them. You can also root them directly in the ground if you can shade them a touch while the root.
Thank you.
Hi, I am going to try this later today.. Do you need to keep watitng the cuttings regularly please?
Only water as needed. Overwatering is the easiest way to kill them. The cover keeps the moisture in but if it is very warm they can start to dry out. A moisture meter comes in handy for this. I will put a link in the description box of one I use.
I like this method better! I have a garden window facing south and it gets plenty of light. Is that ok?
As long as the container doesn't get hot direct sun then it should be perfect.
When you have put the rose cuttings in the plastic container. How long do you leave them in for thanks
I leave them in until I see visible roots through the plastic and a lot of them. Being able to see the roots is one reason I really like this method.
Hello..I’m trying this in a milk jug and a 2 liter bottle. Do I need to keep them covered? And where is a good place to put them sun or shade ? I’m concerned they will get too hot this time of year. I’m in zone 7 🙂
Keep them in shade. The hole in the top should be left open but the cut you make around the side should be taped shut as in the Winter Sowing video I share here: czcams.com/video/2J7_C9wYNjc/video.html
How long do you leave the cains in the container before watering again?
I water as needed. An that is dependent on your climate, temperature, the medium you use, etc. So you need to discover this for yourself but I can highly recommend a moisture meter you can sink into the soil to test and read the levels to gauge. They are usually quite reasonably priced.
Hi, after you keep the cutting on window sill, do you need to water them again, if so what frequency ?
That depends on your conditions, so many factors. Take off the lid and put your finger down into the soil to test moisture if you cannot tell from looking at it through the cup. You want moist not wet.
Thanks, will update you ,once we get started.
When do you know when to water it?
Also, will regular potting soil work?
You can use regular potting soil but many times there can be issues since it holds water more and over watering can be an issue. Being inside the container with a lid means it doesn't not need watering as often. To see if it needs water take off the lid and push your finger down into the potting medium, they need to be just moist but not wet.
When can the roses be planted into the ground after rooting them? ( TIA )
That depends on the conditions. These that I started in Fall rooted and I planted them up into individual 4 inch pots to get a little bigger. It got nice and warm here for a month in February and I put them outside. Bad idea! I forgot about them and we got hit with some cold snowy weather in March. When I remembered them I rushed them back into the greenhouse but for many of them that cold snap was too much and they are toast. A few are hanging in there. Now the ones I started last July are doing great and I have popped them up into one gallon cans and they are doing just fine outside. But I did have them up against the house for a measure of protection. So a good rule of thumb I would say is in about a year.
do you re water them when the soil gets dry ? and Does the soil just need to be moist or do a heavy water like you did in the 1st video?
Thank you for the question. Yes I water them as I see the need. Not heavily, you just want to keep the soil moist, not wet. I check them once a week. Being in an enclosed container like the cup with a lid it retains a lot of moisture and shouldn't need water that often.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thank You for your reply, That is how I check my house plants as well. I will do the same with the Roses
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse How long should it take to get roots? Thank you!
Also, what do you think of the idea of topping off the upper ends with wax?
I still haven't found the video with Part 1 to this one..... :-(
@@cherm7328 In the top right hand corner is the link to the first video. There are so many variables for how fast they root, it can depend on the type of rose, the time of season and conditions. You will have to test it yourself with the roses you wish to root. I have some that have finally rooted after 6 months and others that root in 1 month. There is no one answer. And just because there are leaves that come from the cuttings in a little over a week does not mean they have developed roots. I have some cuttings in a jar of water and they have fully leafed out and it has been 8 months. I have never used wax so I can't answer that.
When you say you use compost, is there a special type of compost? Do I just go to a garden center and buy a bag of compost and add perlite?
I use either my homemade compost or the compost I buy in bulk at a local turkey farm. You can use regular bagged potting soil mixed with sand. Here is the latest cutting video I did. czcams.com/video/l9l2FZZivJY/video.html I am always experimenting with mediums and switch it up. I have a friend who uses straight horticultural sand with success.
How do you select which rose 🌹 variety to use for propagation. Either of your methods.
Thank You 🙏🏻
I have many roses in my garden and I just choose one I would like another of. For example, my Eden aka Pierre de Ronsard rose is gorgeous and thrives here in my garden and I would like to add another to climb beside my porch so I will either take cuttings or air layer it to make another.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse so a rose that was grafted will root from it own root stock giving the same flower. But whatever the reasons/benefits for the original graft are lost.
Have a great garden 🪴 day.
@@sama8670 Many are finding now that the graft is not necessary and for me roses growing on their own root are preferable. Grafted roses can typically die off in about 15 years but own root will live for decades if not longer. And if you get a freak freeze, like I do when they are not dormant, your rose will come back true from the roots on own root rose instead of the graft root stock which is many times Dr. Huey.
Can I do this in April or May in Virginia? Thank you.
Yes you can.
Thank you for the video, but why no follow up video on the results??
I have a video showing the potting up of the cuttings.
hi , I planted the roses in a similar way and waited for 2 months (from 11_ to 01). (The branch) became dry. The roots did not form. Is it still suitable for cultivation again in another way?
Are you asking if the dried cutting can be cultivated? No it is dead. I am not sure of your location but the best time to try and start cuttings is during the active growing season.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse I think the month of growth has not yet come. It will be between months 4 and 10. I am from Morocco. The weather in the winter season (now) will be between 8 and 20 degrees.Thank you very much for your reply.
My cuttings are growing out the top of the milk carton, but I can’t see any roots yet. Should I remove the upper half of the carton and let continue to grow or go ahead and transplant or just leave it alone.
I would leave it alone. As long as it looks healthy then it is fine.
Flower Patch Farmhouse thanks so muc
Thanks for the demo s both parts... however they would be very much better if you showed results -- new leaves, even buds, as well as the developing root systems. QED!
That will be coming and linked. Just like I did for my propagating Clematis by layering videos. I show the actual ones I start with and not a different one.
Have you ever tried honey as a rooting compound?
Honey does not stimulate rooting as the compound will but it does help deter fungus that can affect the cuttings before they root.
Curious how often to water? Keep moist? Never let dry out??
Here is how I address that in the description box: Water cuttings only as needed, keep the soil moist but not wet. I like using this moisture meter to keep tabs on how much moisture is in the soil
Where can I store the container if i don't have a green house, need direct sun or shade?
Bright shade, the direct sun is too hot for them.
Which month is the best to slip them or pot them
I find the best time for me is right after they bloom and I am dead heading them. So it is different for everyone as climate effects when you get blooms. But you can do this in late Fall too, they just won't root as fast.
Hi, how often do you water it please. Thanks
Watering is totally dependent on your conditions. Keep the soil moist but not wet, water accordingly. They will need more water in arid warm conditions than if you are experiencing cool or damp conditions.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse
Thanks a million for your prompt response and kindness. Cheers
Okokokok... whats in the water jug?? Is that a compost tea of some sort??
No, it was just dirty water, I had used that jug for scooping dirt. Sorry for the confusion, I should have told you.
👍
Thanks
Do you have a Part Three - once the roses have rooted, when and how do we pot them on?
Yes, I do here is the link: czcams.com/video/xC51oH3T934/video.html
Is there any pictures with roots!
Here is the vid where I pot up the rose cuttings, I show the roots. czcams.com/video/AuC0lBi4EBg/video.html
Why do my cuttings put out leaves which look healthy and give me hope but then a couple weeks later they droop then fall off?
The canes can store energy and that is how they put out leaves but without roots yet they cannot sustain them. The leaves falling off does not indicate that the cutting is not rooting, in fact, it is a good thing as that means the energy is now directed and producing roots.
Dose it need to put water on it?
only water as needed, they like it moist not wet
How often do I water?
As needed to keep the soil moist but not wet so that depends upon your conditions you are growing in. If it is a humid environment them you would water less, in dry warmer environment you would need to water more. Sadly, there is no one answer. I hope this helps.
You should show the results!!!
I will but these things take patience.
Can you show a rose once it's grown for you
Sure, that is a great idea, I will share a few roses I have started from cuttings in a video soon. I gave one to my cousin already so I can have her send me a photo of it to share.
Do you ever have a problem with fungus??
Yes. There are so many variables that promote fungus, it can be a real problem. But to make sure it isn't brought on by spores on the cuttings themselves, soak them in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and a drop of soap. Then rinse well before proceeding to pot.
where is part one?
Here is the link: czcams.com/video/bkGj4iWDEvg/video.html
👍👌
thank you
Si Where’s the Rooted 🌹 🌹 It’s so much better if when uploading these videos, we can see if the process you recommend actually works or not. Even if they all died, seeing what happens is so important. We’re learn from our mistakes. We only have the current season to try these propagation methods out. So plz next time show us the end result?
For the end result see this video of me potting up the rooted cuttings: czcams.com/video/xC51oH3T934/video.html
It looks great, but no end result, "did they root". Nobody knows.
There is a link in the description box to the video of the rooted cuttings and how I pot them up.
You do not show the outcome, your videos are incomplete.
I do have subsequent follow-up videos, you just need to look for them. But here is an easy link to me potting some rooted roses up: czcams.com/video/xC51oH3T934/video.html
