Rose Cuttings

Oh no!! Sorry to hear about your phone Phil; that is an expensive fall out indeed.

 

There was a few choice words expressed have to be honest. Then a mad 20 mile dash to the apple store. These cuttings better come through now

 

Hi Phil.See Sticky ,Above, Rose Cuttings 2010. May Give You Some Tips..

 

I'm growing rose cuttings for the first time this year. I took some a couple of months ago which are starting to root - I took four and lost two.

I've taken some more cuttings today so fingers crossed

 

Are they in the ground or in pots? Being Molly coddled or left to get on with it? How can you tell whether they've rooted?
I'd be out there - itching to give it a tug !! I'm too naughty to be regarded as a proper gardener.!!

NO tugging !!!!

Mine are in pots on the windowsill. The first ones I put in half a clear pop bottle. I put the cuttings right at the outside so I can see when they've rooted. The others have gone into pots in a propagator and I've put one cutting straight into water to see if that roots.

They are going to be mollycoddled somewhat

 

Thank you Merleworld, it's all beginning to sound feasible. Maybe we should all try and root one and compare results in 2013? I like the idea of starting it off in a clear container. That would dissaude me from being naughty,
