Rooting stratagy

Posted by strr MO (My Page) on Wed, Oct 15, 08 at 14:29
I am wondering if anyone has heard of or successfully rooted a plant by taking a cut or uncut end of a rose plant and planting it in the ground near the original plant without dettaching it. then dettaching it after it has rooted to propagate a whole new plant. Is this possible. I want to line me back fense with roses over time and wonder if this sort of strategy will work to add additional plants next to existing plants. please Let me know if my wording is unclear
thanks

| If I understand you correctly, this is similar to air layering. This happens for me at times. When I dump a wheelbarrow load of mulch and a cane gets under the mulch, it will often root. Some of my ramblers that send long prostrate canes will root along where they touch the ground. I might even take a brick and put it over a cane so the cane is in contact with the soil (and then cover it all with mulch) to see whether I can get it to root. Robert |

| What you are describing is called simple layering. Do a search for how to layer and you'll find what you need. It's quite easy and has a good chance of success. |

| I read about it and then tried it on some grafted roses that I would like to be own root. I guess I'll find out next fall if it worked. Another option for you may be to plant suckering roses, they will fill in between plants by themselves. |
