| Hi,
I put together a little webpage on how I rooted my roses. Keep in mind, this was my first year effort so I do not claim to be an expert at it. I just did some research and had good luck. :-)
Thanks to Maureen for reviewing this for me in advance.
Cheers,
Michelle |

| Well done Michelle. I enjoyed every bit of it. Kasie |

| Thanks so much for putting that page up. I bookmarked and will refer back to it often. That yellow one is one gorgeous rose, makes it seem all worthwhile. |

| Very practical, with supplies all of us can use. I was shocked the day in Dec when I looked at one of my cuttings and its bud was covered with aphids!!! And those little gnats come from out of nowhere too. I can understand where the concept of spontaneous biogenesis came from in the olden days! |

Well done Michelle. Thanks for the recognition:-)
I can't wait to try this indoors. So tell me, does anyone know can I try this indoors now with dormant cuttings? |

This is very nicely done Michelle. You certainly make it seem do-able and have given me the courage to at least try. I have only one rose bush but I love it and would be delighted to have more.
Thanks so much for the excellent pictorial lesson.

| Excellent work, thank you Michelle, just the thing I need to try. My "Zephirine Drouhin" has been taking off this year, tried rooting over 20 cuttings with Rootenon and only 2 look like they might make it. Funny thing is, I've saved plenty of 2 l bottles (for playing ring toss with grandson), knew they'll have more uses and am so glad you showed us this one, bookmark it, will share it too. I think if you want to bring the small plants outside, they'll need to be adjusted to the change gradually, keeping them in containers for a while might be a good idea. Beautiful yellow rose and a great job with all. Bea |

| Michelle, I just read your site on rose cuttings--- WELL DONE !!! You've managed to teach an old dog a new trick, too: I always just planted my cuttings in soil directly in the 2 Liter pop bottles, but you use the bottle as a greenhouse for a plastic cup planter. Very good idea! I will try that this spring! Allison |

| Michelle, I'm totally bummed. So far NONE of my cuttings rooted. I had about 15 of them total. I have 3 left that haven't died, but they are 3 wks old (and I yanked em up and they have no callus or anything happening:-( I'm going to have to keep trying. My mix I use is a mixture of promix and some perlite to lighten it up. That's it. I've had them under grow light for about 14 hours a day. |

| Hello irish_rose_grower Have you seen my "Own Root SetUp" under lights in my basement.
At the moment I am making miniature "Cuttings from Cuttings, from Cuttings" and I am getting 100 percent rooted. But you have to have the right condition for everything.
Check out detailed comments and info for each of the 30 images. Link below.

| That double delight was odd. The red part was barely visible. I have a double delight that half of every petal is white and the other is pink. |

| Michelle's December baby obviously wasn't getting much sunlight, which is required for Double Delight's petals to turn red. The breeder nearly discarded the greenhouse grown original seedling because it was thought to be just another white rose. |

Excellent job Michelle.
I enjoyed and learned a thing or two.
Way to go!!

| i've been following the rose rustler's guide for years, with good success. i buy big plastic pots and fill them with sand. Sand is important for rooting roses, so they don't rot. i use cuttings about 7 inches long and pinch off the soft top growth. Then i sink about 6 inches into the sand, because they root at the leaf nodes. Two or more leaf nodes in the sand means roots from each, and gives the tiny things a good start. Then i water in and cover the whole pot with saranwrap or use clear plastic coke bottles. pretty soon the saranwrap comes off and they live there happily until late fall or early spring, when they get planted out into the heat and heavy clay of the real world. The roses do good tho; they are real troopers! |

| Michelle, I have the rose ready to ship to you along with the iris, would you like some unknown daylily, or a seaholly? Gerry |
RE: my webpage on rooting roses

| Michelle, I like your set up there. Is that an outside work area, it's pretty! I noticed that in my Sequoia bands, they had some vermiculite. I think they use lots of Perlite at Chamblee's. I was there and saw that. I have a friend who roots in sand and has a wonderful success rate. Thanks for the instructions. I may try again this year. Carla |
RE: my webpage on rooting roses

| I wonder if the reason why not all of my roses root with success could be that I use the moisture control potting soil? In my hot weather would sand be better for rooting? What do you think? |
RE: my webpage on rooting roses
| | |
| I wonder if fewer roses would rot or lose their leaves if you took the cap off if you are using the bottle method. Plenty of moisture collects on the sides when I've had it off. |
