Rooting Rose Cuttings

Post by pombazaar »

So this year I was thinking to myself what a ripoff Valentine's Day is :lol: but it got me thinking. I don't believe it's very difficult to root rose cuttings from the florist. I'm actually taking a shot at this now as I'd love to add a rose bush to the side of my property to make the landscaping a little more colorful. I'm curious if there are any folks here who grow roses. If so, what are some unique varieties?

It’s funny but I had the same thoughts 2 years ago!
We have many roses growing everywhere in the city. Most cuttings from the ones you like are fairly easy to root. Read about the different type distinctions, disease resistance, and fragrances. It’s a jungle out there :)

First attempt failed. Someone at my house threw it away lol. A few more weeks and there would have been roots so I'm taking another jab at it now.
