All you need is a little trick to have lots of roses. You can plant them in pots, in the garden or put them in a jar and give them to whoever you want. In short, it is a really useful method to know since it saves you a lot because you are not forced to buy other roses to expand your crop.

A cutting is nothing more than a branch that you have to cut from your current plant and that, if cared for in a certain way, can take root . This is precisely the reason why you can have many other roses from a single twig. First, let’s see what you need to take the cutting:

  • Pruning shears.
  • Denatured pink alcohol.
  • A pot with holes for drainage.
  • Potting soil with perlite (in equal parts)
  • Rooting hormone powder.
  • Plastic to retain moisture (you can use a towel or a bottle).

Once you have everything you need, all you have to do is start multiplying your roses right away. First, disinfect your pruning shears with isopropyl alcohol. Then, cut a branch of at least 10/15 cm with 5 or 6 nodes on the stem below the buds. The cut at the base should be half an inch below the knot, then at the top, half an inch above the knot.

Now, place the cutting in a container with water and in a dark place. You can also wet some paper with water and use it to wrap the branches. Apply rooting hormone powder to the base of the cutting according to package directions. This step is not mandatory, but doing so will help the plant form roots.

Now, remove the flower (or bud) and all the leaves leaving only 4 or 5 at the top. It’s finally time to pot your cutting. Put some soil mixed with perlite in a vase and then bury the cutting. Place a plastic cover over the soil to retain moisture. Occasionally lift the cover to air it out. When you notice the roots, you can remove the plastic and possibly transplant.

In this way, thanks to simple cut branches you can start a real crop of roses , you will see that will give you a lot of satisfaction. Multiplying this plant is very easy precisely because the rose is resistant and adapts well to even the worst conditions. But be careful with parasites, during this period the roses could suffer from them, you just have to follow a few small tips to avoid the risk of your roses getting sick and dying.
