    Hi there!
    Is anybody able to tell me the difference between the flower buds and the vegetative buds in roses when they are still very little. There are some green and some rosy-red ones on a rose I saw...?
    thanks

    Hi Paeonie ,My there,s a word rarely spoken outside of the classroom or Biology lab,I would be very interested to know where you came across it.:cool::)
    My explanation is Vegative buds grow into Leaves--- Flowering Buds obviously grow into beautiful Rose Blooms:):yho:

    Its more of a method or technique and it covers just about everything that grows ,let give you an example

    [align=left] Lets keep it simple and use the term VP(its easier on my fingers) Some Artificial methods of Rose Vegative reproduction are,Cuttings,Grafting ect, Natural VP are suckers ect

    Many small plants which you see growing vegetatively near the mother plant are propagating naturally. Man has taken advantage of this natural phenomenon and has artificially propagated plants vegetatively by using the specialized vegeta- tive organs as described earlier or by cuttings, grafting and layering.
    When we use the vegetative parts for propagating crops or ornamental plants it is termed artificial vegetative propagation.

    I,ve forgotten your question now :hehe:
