    I took 3 cuttings from my rose Little White Pet last year, it was late summer/early autumn. They have been in this pot outside over winter and all 3 cuttings seem to have survived and have new buds/leaves.
    I’m not sure what I’m meant to do now as I’ve never done this before? Can they be potted on individually or do they need to be left for longer?

      I’d leave them for a bit longer until late Spring or the Summer the pot them on individually.

      @CatDouch that's a good success rate! With roses I find a lot die off. You must have the proverbial green fingers :biggrin:

      Thank you @Butterfly6 I’ll leave them for a bit, I’m always a bit impatient :rolleyespink:
      I think it’s beginners luck @CarolineL I must admit I didn’t even think it would work at all!!

        Rose cuttings tend to grow top growth first and then develop roots so I would be inclined to wait until the autumn before potting them on individually. They should be fine as long as you keep them watered throughout the summer.

          Thanks @lizzie27 I wondered why you had to wait and you’ve explained why, thanks.
