- Select a Healthy Stem: Choose a healthy stem from the rose plant, preferably from the outer part of the bush⁴. The best time to take cuttings is in the early morning when the plant is well hydrated².
- Make a Clean Cut: Using sharp pruning shears, make a clean cut just below a set of leaves⁴. The cuttings should be 4-8 inches long with three to five nodes³.
- Prepare the Cutting: Remove any leaves or flowers from the lower part of the stem².
- Apply Rooting Hormone: Dip the cut end of the stem into a rooting hormone powder or gel to promote root growth². This step is often not necessary but can improve your odds of success³.
- Plant the Cutting: Fill a small pot with at least 6 inches of a potting mix formulated especially for roses. Poke a hole in the potting medium, and then insert the stem sliced-side down, taking care not to rub off the rooting hormone. Gently pack the soil around the stem, and water well².
- Provide Proper Care: Place the pot in a location with indirect sunlight and maintain a consistent watering schedule. The cutting should start developing roots in a few weeks⁴.
Remember, the process can be a bit tricky with woody plants, and you should expect that several attempts may end in failure. Take extra cuttings to ensure you have at least a few viable prospects². Good luck with your propagation! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
