Roses are a timeless garden favourite, and growing them from cuttings is a rewarding way to expand your collection. You can propagate roses through semi-ripe or hardwood cuttings, both of which offer great success rates with a bit of care and patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You\u2019ll Need:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Sharp, clean pruners<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rooting hormone (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pots or seed trays<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Free-draining potting compost we normally use John Innes number 1 compost with 25 percent grit or sharp sand.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Clear plastic bag or propagator lid<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Watering can<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Semi-Ripe Cuttings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Semi-ripe cuttings are taken in late summer or early autumn when the stems are partially matured but still pliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Selecting the Cutting<\/strong>: Choose healthy, non-flowering shoots that are about 15-20 cm long. Cut just below a node (where the leaves meet the stem), ensuring each cutting has at least three sets of leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Preparation<\/strong>: Remove the lower leaves, leaving the top set intact. If using a rooting hormone, dip the base of the cutting into it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Planting<\/strong>: Insert the cuttings into a pot filled with a free-draining mix. Water lightly and cover with a plastic bag or propagator lid to maintain humidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Care<\/strong>: Keep the cuttings in a sheltered spot with indirect light, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Rooting should occur within 6-8 weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Hardwood Cuttings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Hardwood cuttings are best taken in late autumn or winter, after the plant has gone dormant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Selecting the Cutting<\/strong>: Choose mature, healthy stems that have grown during the current season. Cut sections around 20-30 cm long, each with at least four buds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Preparation<\/strong>: Strip the lower leaves and buds, leaving only the top two buds. Again, dip the cuttings in rooting hormone if desired.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Planting<\/strong>: Insert the cuttings about halfway into the soil or directly into the ground in a sheltered area of the garden. Make sure the lower buds are buried.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Care<\/strong>: Water well and leave the cuttings over the winter. By spring, the cuttings should have developed roots and can be transplanted to their final position.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Growing roses from cuttings is a simple way to multiply your favourite varieties. Whether you opt for semi-ripe cuttings in late summer or hardwood cuttings in winter, you’ll enjoy the satisfaction of seeing your roses bloom year after year. With a little patience and care, you’ll have new plants to enhance your garden’s beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
