Can I plant the roses that my boyfriend gave me for our anniversary?
Introduction


Roses are one of the easiest plants to propagate from cuttings. Now you can share your favorite rose bush with friends and neighbors and enjoy the easy process of making tip cuttings.


Instructions


Difficulty: Moderately Easy


Steps


1


Step One


Prepare your potting medium by placing fresh potting soil in a small, clean 4-inch plastic nursery container. Water the soil well, then set the prepared pot to the side.


2


Step Two


Select a healthy rose plant you wish to propagate. The plant should be blooming, well-watered and have no sign of insect infestation, fungus disease or stress.


3


Step Three


Cut a section of stem 6-10 inches long. The ideal piece should have at least one flower bud that is almost ready to open and several mature leaves growing along a straight section of stem.


4


Step Four


Remove the lower leaves so that 2-3 leaf joints are visible on the stem. The leaf joints are where the roots will form. The leaves will pull away from the stem easily by hand.


5


Step Five


Dip the cut end of the tip cutting into a rooting hormone to encourage rapid rooting. Only the area of the stem which will be under the soil should be treated with rooting hormone.


6


Step Six


Use a pencil to poke a hole into the prepared pot. Most gardeners who make tip cuttings poke a hole rather than just pushing the cutting directly into the potting soil to avoid damaging the delicate cambium layer along the stem. The cambium is the tissue that carries nutrients up and down the stem.


7


Step Seven


Place the prepared cutting into the hole, then firm the soil around the stem so that it is secure in the pot. Use your finger tips to press the soil gently around the base of the stem.


8


Step Eight


Place the prepared cutting into a large plastic bag. The plastic bag will act as a miniature green house, retaining moisture and heat while the roots are forming.


9


Step Nine


Seal the bag closed and place the cutting in a warm area away from direct sunlight. Although some light is necessary, direct sun will cook the cutting inside the bag.


10


Step Ten


Open the bag and mist frequently to keep the moisture level elevated. Because the little plant does not have roots yet, it can't pull up water from the soil. Keep the inside of the bag humid and moist without over-watering. Reseal the bag when you are finished misting.


11


Step Eleven


Remove the greenhouse bag after 3-4 weeks, depending on the season. The little plant should have begun to develop roots by this point. Continue misting daily or whenever the soil feels dry to the touch being careful to avoid over-watering.


12


Step Twelve


The plant is ready to live on it's own when you begin see new growth and roots coming from the bottom of the pot. Congratulations!

Reply:Sorry to disappoint you, but "ANY" flower must have a root system in order to be planted/grow.
Reply:Kind of impossible without a root system in place. Unless someone knows something I don't.
Reply:cut a piece of the bottom to expose the vains of the branch and leave in water for a couple days. this will allow the plant


to soak in some water. then plant it in some miracle grow and it will grow some new roots and next season it will give some nice roses. when this rose gets big you can cut branches off of it and do the same. you can keep this rose going you whole life.
Reply:Long-stemmed cut roses are usually harvested several days before you receive them. They will not likely root after being separated from the plant for so long.





When rooting cuttings it is always best to use cuttings that are freshly taken from healthy plants.





You also have no way of knowing whether or not chemicals were used on these roses. Most cut flowers are heavily sprayed so the blooms will be 'perfect'. You also don't know the variety of these roses, they may be and most likely are a patented variety. It is illegal to propagate patented plants for any reason unless you have paid a fee to the grower who developed the plant.
Reply:it depends.if they are very long stemmed roses they probably wont have any nodes.if youre lucky enough to have two or three nodes(the swollen joints where the leaf was)then you maybe in luck.cut the flower off just above the first node.cut the stem just under the last node.put in a rooting hormone and place in a sandy soil keep moist and good luck.if the roses are still in good shape and nice and plump you can use them
Reply:yea just plop them in a hole w/ some maneur water it a LOT and voila
