Can you take a clipping from a rose branch %26amp; replant it?
I had no idea so I looked it up- thanks for the idea to try this fall.



This is from Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service

"It’s a piece of cake. Take cuttings from wood that is not in flower. The cuttings should be at least 6 inches long. Stick the cuttings in a sand/peat mix (50/50) that you can keep moist. The cuttings should be kept away from direct sunlight. Mist several times a day to keep the cuttings hydrated. They should set roots in six weeks or less. If the cuttings wilt, then wait until the plants go dormant this fall and then take the cuttings sometime before they leaf out the following spring. Rooting hormone powder will help push things along." Hope that helps...
Reply:yes you can , either by putting them in water and letting them root or nursery's sell a product you dip the end of the clipping in and plant it it comes with directions
Reply:That's called "propogating"...you can find the chemical needed to do this at your local nursery or home and garden center. Basically what it does is it helps the clipping to take root.
Reply:Yes, I did it. Take a cutting from the rose bush. With a sharp knife, peel away about 1-2" of the outer bark on the bottom section. Dip this part into Rootone. Get a flower pot, fill it with potting soil, stick your index finger into the middle of the soil. Take the cutting and put it into the hole then press the soil tightly down on it. Water and keep moist and in a shady area, even inside if you want. In a few weeks you will have a new rose bush.
Reply:You can dip the tip in rooting hormome and plant in loose well drained potting soil.

Baby it by keeping in a indirect sunny place for a while or sun if its not too hot.

You need the part of the stem that is older but not so old its like wood.

Done it before , takes a few tries.
Reply:Well, chances of her roses growing are minimal unless you live in a cool climate. Roses are pruned in the fall, when it's cool, and you can take the branches, dip them in "Root Tone" available at garening centers and put them in the ground and most of the time they will grow. It just has to be done in cool or cold weather. I've had alot of luck with mine, and I live in the south. Just waiting for that first cool snap to prune those roses back and start some more for next year. Good Luck!
Reply:yep, you can but only u clip the rose close to the root than keep them in the cool place saok them in the water for about one day then continue cover the cut section with an old t-shirt n soil keep them wet at all time for about 2 week or more. there u go the rose is ready to plans.
