Rose Propagation


Started these a while back, sometime in Octoberish i wanna say. Took stems of some rose bushes at my mom's house and tried to root them. Followed the directions from my Horticultural Encyclopedia fairly well and have what seems like nice success so far.



This was the best growing one i have so far out of the 5 i have going. Check out all the new growth! I should have tagged them so i would have known which bush they came from but i guess now its gonna be a surprise. There was a 2 tone one that i loved and i'm hoping this is the one. All were large headed roses, probably floribunda. Read they take about 2 years before you can transplant them. Knowing that i started them myself i think it will be more rewarding and worth the wait.

  1. Does this mean I don't have to buy flowers on Valentine's Day? I can pull some off the bush, right? Great.
