China Doll suckers and propagation

Posted by colorado_av_guy z4 CO (My Page) on

Good Afternoon,

I saved three suckers from a China Doll Rose. I put them in small pots with potting soil as the medium. I would like to over winter them in the house. What are the chances of their survival? Should I go ahead and plant them outside or is it too late? I believe these suckers to be "true" as one of them actually bloomed while in the pot I put it in and the rose is identical to the parent rose bush.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

RE: China Doll suckers and propagation

Last year I received a banshee sucker bareroot later in the year than this. I pulled all the leaves off and chilled it down for about 4 days then planted it outside and covered it with dirt and mulch. This spring I uncovered it and it has done great. I don't know if china doll is that hardy but there's one way to find out.
