Roses From Cuttings

Good morning @Freddy and @Redwing this is just one viewpoint not Woos by the way

Virtually any rose you buy will be grafted on to a rootstock, so it’s easy to get the impression that roses need to be grafted, and that the sky will fall in if they are grown on their own roots. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Roses are grafted to allow large numbers of plants to be propagated from a small amount of starting material, since every bud can produce a new bush. All that’s required is a rootstock, which can be propagated in unlimited numbers from seed or cuttings. In other words, grafting is for the rose grower’s convenience, not yours. Roses grow quite happily on their own roots, and they are usually more vigorous and longer-lived than grafted roses. Nor will you spend your time digging up unwanted suckers from the rootstock.

Grafting: Advantages and Disadvantages
Grafting allows gardeners to grow roses that display qualities of two different varieties of roses in one plant. This allows gardeners to create beautiful and unusual plants in their rose gardens. Gardeners can graft roses that may not normally survive in their climate, or roses that may be sensitive to modern diseases, onto the root stock of hardier bushes more likely to survive in that given area. In addition, gardeners may graft roses that sucker onto root stock not known for suckering to prevent this type of spread. Sometimes grafting can cause the spread of disease. If a cultivar has a disease unbeknown to the gardener, that disease may transfer to the root stock when the scion is grafted.



Cutting: Advantages and Disadvantages
Propagation by cutting allows gardeners to grow plants that are identical to the parent plant from which the cuttings originate. New plants grown from cuttings are faster to mature and flower than those germinated from seeds. The disadvantages of propagation by cuttings are minimal, but some types of roses do not grow easily from cuttings and are best propagated via bud grafting.

 

Good morning @Mike Allen you certainly don't take second place we are all equal here your Rose knowledge is second to none as is your experience of life

But with the greatest of respect @Mike Allen maybe you could see your way clear my friend of starting a new thread with concerning the above topic Thank you

 

Good morning @Freddy my friend its probably because grafting is all I was trained to do,and I enjoyed doing it,but we were told that the Rose grows stronger and its a much faster method
when I was a small Owlett the local countryside was was full of wild Roses and that's what we used to use,a lot of the Rose growers are changing their method now @Freddy maybe I am out of touch ,I am with everything else

But I will ask the question from the Rose growers I know and get back to you,enjoy your Sunday my friend

 

Just a Notice

It's not legal to propagate a patented plant for the first 17-20 years after it has been introduced.,But anybody is free to propagate older roses and rose varieties that are no longer under patent protection.So you should find out the history of a particular rose before taking cuttings and growing roses from cuttings.
