Does anyone propagate roses ?
I was taught to do them in sharp sand cutting each one from a healthy stem to about 9", plunging in hormone rooting powder ,shaking off the excess and inserting into the sand in a pot .
I have also made troughs in the garden and planting them in sand - some of the soil will mix in .
Recently,I've seen another method on YouTube .
This involves getting a potato ,making a hole with a screwdriver or similar) and after dipping in rooting powder ,shaking off the excess and pushing the cutting into the hole .
Then ,planting the potato in the garden .
I did some yesterday .
Adding honey was mentioned .I haven't tried it as I was out of it - though I think that I shall next time .
