Check out my roots on my 1st rose cuttings

Check out the roots on my 1st rose cuttings. Used a constant mist system. http://picasaweb.google.com/JoelJWLO/CuttingsRootings20090719#

Good roots on most of them BUT notice the mold on some of the leaves. That constant mist system with the temperatures we have had in SE Georgia I think contributed to the mold growth. I also lost some due to rot before taking them out of the sand bed.

I think 3 - 4 weeks at most would have been adequate for those cuttings which were actually going to successfully root.

I may try putting some more cuttings in the sand bed this weekend AND may put in some crepe myrtle cuttings if I can find some good soft wood.

How did those roses do after you uprooted them? I've always thought that the rose roots dried out quickly when exposed to air like that.

They did good for a day until I left for Atlanta and the sprinkler system was OFF the entire week. When we got back Friday afternoon, I had lost over half of them due to lack of water.

I think I'm going to stick some more in the sand next weekend. I also think once I pot them I may leave them under the mister for a week or 2.

I had to come back to Atlanta today but think a few may survive. It is TOUGH to do anything like that when you have to be gone 4-5 days at the stretch. My office is in Atlanta, my "home" is near Vidalia.

I was afraid I had lost all my rooted cuttings from missing the water that 1st week after potting, but, a couple weeks after potting, looks like about 8 of the original 22 may make it.

Just a follow-up from August 9, those 8 are doing well in their pots.
