I love that you are always so conscientious of (and take great pride in) the quality of your plants that you sell to customers. Love the nearly-extinct hydrangea story! Your garden/farm is amazing.
Thank you for the shout out to Southern California. I struck 72 plug trays of cuttings this week of junipers, rosemary, duranta, chinese elms, and daisies.
I envy your growing climate - most times! I suppose there's something to be said for a little break in the cycle to knock down pest pressures in the landscape. I gotta tell myself something nice to justify the winter weather!
Thanks Larry. I definitely have some envy about your plant supply situation in the US - it's easy enough down there to mail order specialty hydrangeas (and so many other plants) so that you can begin propagating it yourself. Double-edged sword, I suppose, as the barrier to entry is the same for everyone - so all it takes is an eye for cool varieties. Up here there are far fewer specialty mail order suppliers, and border restrictions make it near impossible for some varieties to be brought in from the US (including hydrangeas, for instance). The H. mariesii variegata I collected was a chance find in a customer's garden. So less chance of competition for a bit.
Thank you for this wonderful walk about. Was absolutely stunned by a 12 foot Pokeweed. Very vigorous plant but my tallest in Ottawa was 8 feet. The varigated variety is less vigorous.😂 I am also a big Zinnia person with a weakness for Cactus varieties and Benary Giants. Bleeding Hearts is my favorite false sunflower so very envious of your pure red sport.😮 Great video👍 🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦
Thanks so much! I've since hauled down the pokeweed on the likely good advice of various viewers who warmed me not to trifle with it. I'm sure I'll have seedlings again next year, but I want the option to keep them manageable.
Wow! The gardens are looking amazing. This cool August has definitely been beneficial for blooms. Even my sweet peas are having a second flush. The perennials I've picked up at your nursery are doing amazingly well (chocolate cosmos is a stunner! So prolific and amazing in bouquets.) And the small roses put on a show even though it was their first year in the garden (I had to rescue one from some over enthusiastic nepeta to give it more room.) Thr lavender I grew from cuttings, inspired by your videos, is establishing itself in the garden. Thanks for the great videos!
To cut or not to... That is the question.🤔 The weather has been so bizarre this year, I will take the chance and take cuttings from each of the roses as they flower. Yes, they are budding and flowering now. Recently had the Cat1 hurricane pass through with 85-100 mph winds and 12 inches of rain in less than 12 hours. Now all of the plants are going crazy from all the rain. I will be trying the flower stem method you recently showed and see how things go. The farm looks fantastic and all of the changes are really adding their influence.👌🤙
We’re in zone 6b, Connecticut,USA. I’m going to grow Mariesii. I had never seen it before this presentation. Thank you. Also, I may try to acquire the snowflake variety.
Jason, I’m incredibly grateful for your videos. They helped me get through the hardest part of this past summer after a traumatic event, and I discovered a love for growing and nurturing life. However, I've ended up propagating far too many roses. Do you think a vigorous own-root rose, like 'Altissimo,' could survive and even thrive in a more challenging, unprepared remote location without fertilization, or would it likely be overtaken by other plants? Presuming favorable, yet wild conditions.
They sometimes surprise me with how well they can compete, even with little intervention from humans. A well-established specimen can withstand even some aggressive competition. The key thing there is the "well-established" bit. It's quite possible that a 1 or 2 gallon own-root rose will get lost in the weeds and fail in its first year or two if it isn't given some level of help (clearing away plants that are trying to squeeze it out).
The variegated leaf hydrangea looks like a must have. What zones can it tolerate in the U.S? Love the views of your landscape and seeing those wonderful rose roots just waiting to take off. Well done :)
Pokeweed is such a beautiful plant! It will be interesting to hear whether it becomes a reseeding problem for you over future years. The greens are one of my most favorite wild greens to eat of all of them -- top 3! But it takes knowing how to cook it correctly and to know when it is too mature to eat. Your flowers are looking especially beautiful this year.
I’m making note of what’s blooming now in my garden and others to get more fall color. I failed to plant zinnias near the house but have them in spades in back field. Volunteer sunflowers do SO much better if you can keep the deer from topping them. Neighbor just asked why I planted all those flowers (marigolds) I said I didn’t-they planted themselves😅. I tried the purple cup & saucer vine this year and it is ok. I don’t think the purple is very showy and some are more a mix of white, green and pink. It could be our length of season in Z5a, WI. I started them inside and I didn’t pinch them back which maybe I should have. We are having a drought now and the season seems to be extended and they are blooming more now, but frost should be around 9/25. The weather is so unpredictable anymore. I never grew poke Weed but from a comment you best contain it😂. Love blanket flower. And I accidentally dried up a rose cutting 🙄. It was doing fine in water, but I didn’t get around to planting it and it wasn’t in the water when I checked it. I was wondering about starting anymore this late in season. Yes, the babysitting all winter-hmm. Thank you for sharing all you do, it’s much appreciated!
Jason, I am having a difficult time cloning my Ebb Tide (Weksmopur) Floribunda rose. It grows for about 12 to 25 days, depending upon what media I start it in, either potting soil(12 days), or a mixture of perlite and vermiculite(25 days) using a two-cup method where I keep about 1” of water in the base of the outer cup to stimulate root growth. I using the rooting hormone powder in both cases, and it does sprout roots, at least with the perlite & vermiculite mix. I put a plastic bag over the top with a hole in it to create a humid environment and keep it inside with only a minor amount of sunlight, but mostly indirect sunlight. All of this seemed to work for the 1st 25 days, visibly seeing the roots develop, but then the leaves start turning yellow, so I moved from the perlite vermiculite mix to potting soil, but the problem continues as the other leaves start yellowing & drying up, and eventually dying. I water it thoroughly, but it does not help. In fact, I am wondering if I am water it too much, but am not sure what the problem is. I have tried to clone this plant numerous time, but the result is always the same. What am I doing wrong ? I have successfully cloned may flowering plants, but this one is extremely difficult.
I haven't grown Ebb Tide from cuttings, but have plenty of experience with related roses like Stephens Big Purple. If you're seeing root development, that's definitely a sign you're on the right track. If it's rooting well in the perlite /vermiculite mix I'm not sure I really see the need for the second cup with water - and my basic humidity dome method (without any water tray) seems to get reasonable results. Yellowing/dropping leaves doesn't freak me out so badly as an initial symptom, but if it's followed by the stem drying out, then there's an issue with the root development. Without much else to go on, I'd probably suggest elimination of the water reservoir and see if that fixes the issue.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Jason, I think you have given me some clues to look for in dealing with my problem. I also went back and watched your “Easy plant propagation with humidity domes” video again, which gave me a few more clues. One thing I noticed you said in this video was when you saw no condensation on the walls of your dome, you would spray them with your mister. With my plastic bag method, I was not misting them at all, and no condensation could be seen. Also, I think I should also wait until the plants have more fully developed roots in the pearlite & vermiculite mix before moving them to soil, even if they develop some yellowing leaves. or perhaps start them in soil with a heavier concentration of perlite/vermiculite from the start, ore use peat moss. I might even construct a small humidity dome, since I only have about 7 clones I am starting.
Your place looks amazing!!! A question---for overwintering cuttings, exactly what temperature & how many hours of daylight do you maintain? I have a small greenhouse & I want to take cuttings of a rose that is hardly ever available & have it ready for spring planting. I have the capability to keep the greenhouse pretty much as warm & as light as needed, in zone 8b, Oregon. I hope you'll be shipping to the U.S. one of these years!
Thanks. Even starting this late, you have some time to get some young roots on before threatening temperatures and super short days. I'd probably set the greenhouse to 5C/41F on the low end, to keep those young roots semi-active through the winter. Supplemental light is optional, but if you're going to do it, I'd just top up in the morning or evening to reach a today daylength of 11-12 hours when combined with natural light.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Many thanks for the expert advice, I don't know how you manage to run a large rose farm, maintain a great RUclips channel, and actually answer questions from viewers, but I surely do appreciate all of those things!
Looking nice Jason. Are you seeing more an more competition? Seems here in NC it's becoming a price war. Many new growers in last two years.. Sales have slowed too. Was given a 30x60 hoop house,for taking it down,so going forward. Always watching to see what competition doesn't have !
Good strategy - go where the competition isn't! It's always a pretty chaotic scene in the nursery industry with start-ups and shut-downs both. Locally it's been more closings than openings. Some of the larger wholesale suppliers in our region have folded in the past couple of years, leaving big gaps in the market (too big for me to fill!). Within mail order roses we've seen a shake-up too, with Heirloom Roses launching into the Canadian market, but Palatine announcing their final year. Interesting times.
Thanks so much, Jason. A very timely video. I have a few cuttings that are just beginning to root and a few that I’m still hopeful for. I was just beginning to wrestle with the issue of what conditions I need to overwinter them. Keep trying to encourage rooting and growth in these baby plants or let them go dormant and pray for a comeback in spring. When winter comes here in Toronto, I can move them to my basement which will remain cool. Should I give them no water or minimal water ?
This year in Bavaria has had the worst weather, with two phases of flooding. I am attempting propagating some roses & my coleus. BTW, if you ever consider carrying more Tantau roses, there is a market in Canada. I belong to a Facebook group and Canucks are sad that they aren’t widely available.
Hi Jason! I have an unrelated question for you. I have a problem with squirrels in my garden. Currently, I’m heartbroken because squirrels discovered that my rose bushes are tasty and they ate almost all the new leaves, roses, hips and rose branches. I’m a new rosarian and this is my first year caring for a couple of David Austin roses. Have you ever encountered such a problem? Do you have any advice? Thanks! I really like your content, I really appreciate how generously you share your experience and your love for roses.
Thanks - I know they can take a shine to roses, but it hasn't been a serious issue here - probably owing to more interesting food sources (acorns, walnuts and the such). They're probably a more difficult problem than rabbits or deer, because exclusion isn't a viable option. Might be worth trying a squirrel feeder to see if they can be distracted away.
Do know the roots on pokeweed are MUCH thicker, deeper and bigger than you will be expecting. AND if you don't dig it ALL out, it WILL be back next year. I'm talking red roots the thickness of my wrist.
Pokeweed can certainly become a monster.😂 I think Jason will realize this next spring. Some 40 years ago I did a landscape job along the Cowlitz River in Washington state. We made rock walls with center planters for the very invasive plant varieties like pokeweed, bamboo, and several others. I definitely recommend either concrete vaults or brick/rock & mortar containment, especially for the likes of poke weed because it is so determined. The milder weather will definitely favor the pokeweed. Good luck Jason.
Thanks for the heads up. I've since hauled it our on the good advice of viewers like you - we'll see what kind of issue I've created for myself! I can't help but love bold and unfamiliar plants - those magenta flower/berry stalks really are gorgeous, but I'm sure the charm wears off once you've fought with them for a bit.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm Some climates and soils they behave rather well and yes, they certainly grab your attention, but THAT'S how they getcha.🤪 You might need to sift through the soil a few times to get any stragglers, but being planted for such a short time should be a plus.🤙
It's totally fine so long as you have the indoor conditions to carry them through. I do caution that it's a bit trickier to grow them well through the winter under lights (more management of watering, fertilizing, pests and growing conditions) but I've done it myself with good results.
Hi Jason I have grown Morden Centennial rose for years in Manitoba. The rose generally grew to 2 1/2 - 3 feet tall. We now live in BC for a couple years I planted the same rose here. They are easily 6 feet tall. My question is can I cut the rose back this fall for next year height control. Thanks
Yes - if the height is out of control (and especially if I'm concerned about the stems breaking in the winter wind unsupported), I'll usually revisit the rose for some correction in late November or December when the weather has cooled a bit. Taking tall stems down at this point is less likely to encourage fresh growth. The other approach is to wait until late winter and do your corrective pruning at the same time as you would do the cleanup spring pruning.
I have already come to the sad conclusion that if I start another set of rose cuttings I will not have the room to overwinter them in a protected environment.
I first saw a pokeweed show up here and loved it...then I found out they are poisonous possibly? And now they are EVERYWHERE. I think the birds spread them - which leads me to believe not so poisonous.
Hi, I can’t find the link to the set up you use for cuttings using the opaque plastic boxes. Could you reply with the link please? Very interesting video. How cold do your winter get in BC?
Above freezing. A minimum of 3C/37F is easy to maintain through any kind of deep cold we experience here, but most weeks are pretty mild so it might average 8C/46F through Dec/Jan.
❤😮woww.....those # Chocolate Cosmos lookin good & a great contrast in your colorful garden😊l used to grow white Cosmos & l got Korean Cosmos seeds from my friend in Seoul, Korea last year😊 Sunny Sunflowers😊 may be , u can try # Teddybear Sunflowers that are so cute😊 The only successful rose cutting is my # Pink Damask that l got from my friend. Pope John Paul ll is having yellowing foliage from chlorosis😢 a few roses had died too😢 The Southwest Monsoon in Malaysia is so cruel😢
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm ....yup...now is the Monsoon transition period i.e a short dry period coz our worse annual # Northeast Monsoon is coming soon as Northern China is having very early winter. The Cold surge has no mercy :(
I’m in Northern California and we’ve had whacky weather so the plants are confused so I’ve been in a cuttings frenzy to keep the cuttings in a little seedling tent all winter …I even have dreams of clippings bolting lol😂 I was wondering though, you mentioned somewhere about how a clipping ‘needed to root and shoot in that order’ The first time I tried to propagate rose cutting they rooted beautifully but rotted so never shooted This time around my cuttings are shooting beautifully but the rooting is slow
I suppose there are failures either way, but in my cuttings I can usually expect a very good rate of success in those that root first/shoot later - and quite a low rate from those that shoot first & try to root later. Rot is one of the primary causes of failure either way.
Hi, how do you deal with powdery mildew? Sadly I have quite a few plants that have developed the problem now that it’s started to rain. Since you are from Oregon was hoping you could share tips on managing black spots and mildew during the rainy season. Appreciate your response
We're up the coast in BC, but similar challenges. This year was rough. A few things you can do: prompt leaf removal/sanitation of diseased foliage, apply sulfur, apply potassium bicarbonate (5ml/L). There are other fungicides, but I usually go with the less toxic options just listed. The other thing to keep in mind is that these foliar problems, while unsightly and annoying, are generally not a serious threat to the plant itself during the growing season. You can do a winter cleanup of all dropped foliage, replace mulch, and use lime sulfur over the winter to reduce carry over of spores - so that your plants can at least begin the season pretty clean.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much! I appreciate the guidance. Apologies your place looks so much like Oregon to me and so I must have got the impression you are in Oregon. Thank you for the amazing work. Bummer. I was going to ask you if I could buy some of the sunflower cuttings you were originating in the other video. I guess that’s not going to possible right?
Anything above freezing up to around 8c/46F if I can manage it. Our winters are mild, and if we get a warm stretch the basement room may bump a little higher - so let's just say I'm not using air conditioning to keep it cool, but I do like to keep it as cool as practical.
Thank you for answering the question about the cuttings dropping their leaves! Would you say that the same theory works for blueberry cuttings? That they may survive though the leaves have fallen off? I took some cuttings pretty late and can see a few roots in the peat blocks, (first time ever) but almost all of the branches have dropped their leaves. I know they are a hard plant to propagate but I really want them to make it. Here in my climate we already have 4 degrees celcius at night so I’m getting a bit stressed out about loosing them to the frost too. If I get frost nights, can I still have them in my mini greenhouse you think? Or do I need to dig them down in the ground before the first frost comes? Thank you for your awsome content🌸🌸
Yes, I'd say they still have a chance so long as the wood remains a healthy color. Many of my blueberry cuttings paused for a long time, and I had loads of losses, but something like 20% still rooted and leafed out the following spring. I think my next attempt will be a much higher rate of rooting hormone to encourage faster callus.
Mostly I don't. I know some growers do spend a lot of time on cleaning pots, but so far I haven't seen many issues with reused pots causing disease. Some weed seeds, but nothing I can't handle.
Hi Jason, this isn’t really relevant to the topic but I trust your advice on things. What is your opinion on systemics v sprays to treat thrips on roses? I’m sort of at my wits end with thrips. This is my first summer with roses and they are a constant in the summer here in Houston. I haven’t used any insecticides and have been planting companion plants to attract predator insects. I know I’m still learning. But the thrip damage has been very disheartening. I also am trying to provide an environment welcoming to pollinators. Is there a way to treat thrips but lessen risk to pollinators?
Thrips are a tough one to combat effectively. Even some of the "tried and true" heavy chemical treatments ( like Orthene) have begun to lose effectiveness due to resistance issues. I do love the approach of supporting predators - pirate bugs have been the hero for me! If you're considering sprays, I might suggest researching something like Spinosad for a quick targeted knock-down that has lower risk of human toxicity and less dramatic impacts on the surrounding environment.
All sorts of zones. Most roses I grow average hardiness of zone 5 or 6, and our climate is zone 8. That gives me a little "cushion" on overwintering, but I always have to keep in mind that young, lightly-rooted plants in small pots are far more vulnerable to winter cold and wind.
I am in Toronto, if I take rose cuttings in October, where would I put them? I live in an apartment, I don’t have a garage , is keeping them at room temperature ok? Or the fridge? Thanks
Room temp is okay, but generally runs into some issues around pest pressures (aphids, spider mites), and of course maintaining air circulation, light & feeding in the right levels for plant health. Your call whether it's worth the extra effort or if it makes sense just to wait until spring.
I have a question I live in Washington state and my new roses i bought from Heirloom Roses and have a small one that won't grow and it's all yellow it's name is Candy Cane Cocktail. Also I have a rock and roll rose bush and it's not blooming at all either. The Darcey Bussel I bought at the same time has alot of foliage and has bloomed two times. The PH lvl is 7 or above I used some sulfur for hydrangeas to bring it down about a week ago. How long does it take for me to notice a difference and the roses to start blooming?
pH adjustments can take a year or two to really take effect. I can't conclude that pH is a serious problem at 7 or so - most nutrients still have decent availability all the way up to 7.5. You might conclude that the yellowing is due to poor iron availability, but it can also have to do with overall unhappy roots. Take it slow and steady. You've already done some pH modification. I'd suggest a continued focus on the basics: good site/sunlight, moderate additions of organic matter to the soil, consistent watering. Feeding with a liquid fertilizer with some amount of iron could green them up a bit, but don't go overboard.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm they are in almost all day sun. The fertilizer I'm using is liquid and it has .10% iron and i gave it some rose food. And what should I use for organic matter like blood meal?
Yeah - that's what I've heard. Kinda what makes them a good dye plant, but might yet be a little too wild/weeding for a long-term resident of my garden.
Holy moley, I didn't have pokeweed as an ornamental on my bingo card today. Can't think of a more noxious invasive or larger weed other than maybe tree of heaven. Nah, it's worse. It thrives in 100 heat and survives below zero winters. It gets tree size fibrous stalks if it gets away from you which takes a machete to hack down because you shouldn't really touch it. While doing that, you have to try to avoid this white latex goo that comes out which can irritate eyes and skin, while also having the berries turning your hands purple and permanently staining your clothes. It stains everything. You then futilely take a digging bar and try to get the entire ridiculously deep tap and side roots. Impossible because it breaks too easily and each piece grows a new one. I have 20 year old garden beds that I still constantly battle because the root is so deep. You never really get rid of new plants either because inevitably, birds have seeded it wild nearby, and will keep bringing it back somewhere you don't notice until it's 12 feet high. Amazingly, even though it's quite poisonous, the greens were a staple in American southern slave populations, and they invented a cooking method that made them safe enough to eat. Planting spinach is much less hazardous and cleanup won't take a lifetime.

Perhaps zone 5. Macrophyllas often see deep dieback in the colder zones, but can push back from the ground level if the root survive.
Poke spreads by birds eating the seeds and getting deposited elsewhere, often fencelines. It has a large perennial root.
I definitely needs to come visit one day from Richmond

I also went back and watched your “Easy plant propagation with humidity domes” video again, which gave me a few more clues. One thing I noticed you said in this video was when you saw no condensation on the walls of your dome, you would spray them with your mister. With my plastic bag method, I was not misting them at all, and no condensation could be seen. Also, I think I should also wait until the plants have more fully developed roots in the pearlite & vermiculite mix before moving them to soil, even if they develop some yellowing leaves. or perhaps start them in soil with a heavier concentration of perlite/vermiculite from the start, ore use peat moss. I might even construct a small humidity dome, since I only have about 7 clones I am starting.
Your place looks amazing!!! A question---for overwintering cuttings, exactly what temperature & how many hours of daylight do you maintain? I have a small greenhouse & I want to take cuttings of a rose that is hardly ever available & have it ready for spring planting. I have the capability to keep the greenhouse pretty much as warm & as light as needed, in zone 8b, Oregon. I hope you'll be shipping to the U.S. one of these years!
Thanks. Even starting this late, you have some time to get some young roots on before threatening temperatures and super short days. I'd probably set the greenhouse to 5C/41F on the low end, to keep those young roots semi-active through the winter. Supplemental light is optional, but if you're going to do it, I'd just top up in the morning or evening to reach a today daylength of 11-12 hours when combined with natural light.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Many thanks for the expert advice, I don't know how you manage to run a large rose farm, maintain a great RUclips channel, and actually answer questions from viewers, but I surely do appreciate all of those things!
Looking nice Jason. Are you seeing more an more competition? Seems here in NC it's becoming a price war. Many new growers in last two years.. Sales have slowed too. Was given a 30x60 hoop house,for taking it down,so going forward. Always watching to see what competition doesn't have !
Good strategy - go where the competition isn't! It's always a pretty chaotic scene in the nursery industry with start-ups and shut-downs both. Locally it's been more closings than openings. Some of the larger wholesale suppliers in our region have folded in the past couple of years, leaving big gaps in the market (too big for me to fill!). Within mail order roses we've seen a shake-up too, with Heirloom Roses launching into the Canadian market, but Palatine announcing their final year. Interesting times.
Thanks so much, Jason. A very timely video. I have a few cuttings that are just beginning to root and a few that I’m still hopeful for. I was just beginning to wrestle with the issue of what conditions I need to overwinter them. Keep trying to encourage rooting and growth in these baby plants or let them go dormant and pray for a comeback in spring. When winter comes here in Toronto, I can move them to my basement which will remain cool. Should I give them no water or minimal water ?
Minimal at low temperatures.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks!
This year in Bavaria has had the worst weather, with two phases of flooding. I am attempting propagating some roses & my coleus.
BTW, if you ever consider carrying more Tantau roses, there is a market in Canada. I belong to a Facebook group and Canucks are sad that they aren’t widely available.
Thanks. I'll keep my eye open for any opportunity to get some Tantau roses into the collection here.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm If you ever come to Munich, you can have cuttings of any roses, Tantau, Kordes or others.
Hi Jason! I have an unrelated question for you. I have a problem with squirrels in my garden. Currently, I’m heartbroken because squirrels discovered that my rose bushes are tasty and they ate almost all the new leaves, roses, hips and rose branches. I’m a new rosarian and this is my first year caring for a couple of David Austin roses. Have you ever encountered such a problem? Do you have any advice? Thanks! I really like your content, I really appreciate how generously you share your experience and your love for roses.
Thanks - I know they can take a shine to roses, but it hasn't been a serious issue here - probably owing to more interesting food sources (acorns, walnuts and the such). They're probably a more difficult problem than rabbits or deer, because exclusion isn't a viable option. Might be worth trying a squirrel feeder to see if they can be distracted away.
Do know the roots on pokeweed are MUCH thicker, deeper and bigger than you will be expecting. AND if you don't dig it ALL out, it WILL be back next year. I'm talking red roots the thickness of my wrist.
Pokeweed can certainly become a monster.😂
I think Jason will realize this next spring.
Some 40 years ago I did a landscape job along the Cowlitz River in Washington state. We made rock walls with center planters for the very invasive plant varieties like pokeweed, bamboo, and several others.
I definitely recommend either concrete vaults or brick/rock & mortar containment, especially for the likes of poke weed because it is so determined.
The milder weather will definitely favor the pokeweed.
Good luck Jason.
😂Oh no! 😵💫
Thanks for the heads up. I've since hauled it our on the good advice of viewers like you - we'll see what kind of issue I've created for myself! I can't help but love bold and unfamiliar plants - those magenta flower/berry stalks really are gorgeous, but I'm sure the charm wears off once you've fought with them for a bit.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm
Some climates and soils they behave rather well and yes, they certainly grab your attention, but THAT'S how they getcha.🤪
You might need to sift through the soil a few times to get any stragglers, but being planted for such a short time should be a plus.🤙
Hi! Your roses are amazing! Where do you buy your square vases?
The square pots come from a local grower supply distributor: CY Grower.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you so much!
😊
good, thank you. in wv but i have heated space with grow lights. was hoping you would say it is ok to start some cuttings
It's totally fine so long as you have the indoor conditions to carry them through. I do caution that it's a bit trickier to grow them well through the winter under lights (more management of watering, fertilizing, pests and growing conditions) but I've done it myself with good results.
Hi Jason I have grown Morden Centennial rose for years in Manitoba. The rose generally grew to 2 1/2 - 3 feet tall. We now live in BC for a couple years I planted the same rose here. They are easily 6 feet tall. My question is can I cut the rose back this fall for next year height control. Thanks
Yes - if the height is out of control (and especially if I'm concerned about the stems breaking in the winter wind unsupported), I'll usually revisit the rose for some correction in late November or December when the weather has cooled a bit. Taking tall stems down at this point is less likely to encourage fresh growth. The other approach is to wait until late winter and do your corrective pruning at the same time as you would do the cleanup spring pruning.
I have already come to the sad conclusion that if I start another set of rose cuttings I will not have the room to overwinter them in a protected environment.
I first saw a pokeweed show up here and loved it...then I found out they are poisonous possibly? And now they are EVERYWHERE. I think the birds spread them - which leads me to believe not so poisonous.
Yes, all parts toxic to humans - but as with many poisonous plants, birds can still eat and pass the seeds.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I did not know that! Birds are crazy
I am in Alberta I have been doing some propagating indoor..some of them seems ok but some seems to have some molds..what may be the cause of that?
Generally mold is all about moisture (excess) and air movement (usually not enough).
Hi, I can’t find the link to the set up you use for cuttings using the opaque plastic boxes. Could you reply with the link please? Very interesting video. How cold do your winter get in BC?
ruclips.net/video/4FicmVqT_a4/видео.htmlsi=bPH2J09WDtbts4w7
What's the temperature that you turn down to in your overwintering room?
Above freezing. A minimum of 3C/37F is easy to maintain through any kind of deep cold we experience here, but most weeks are pretty mild so it might average 8C/46F through Dec/Jan.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks for the info!
❤😮woww.....those # Chocolate Cosmos lookin good & a great contrast in your colorful garden😊l used to grow white Cosmos & l got Korean Cosmos seeds from my friend in Seoul, Korea last year😊
Sunny Sunflowers😊 may be , u can try # Teddybear Sunflowers that are so cute😊
The only successful rose cutting is my # Pink Damask that l got from my friend. Pope John Paul ll is having yellowing foliage from chlorosis😢 a few roses had died too😢
The Southwest Monsoon in Malaysia is so cruel😢
Thanks. Tough to grow well with so much moisture, but I suppose the monsoon should let up soon.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm ....yup...now is the Monsoon transition period i.e a short dry period coz our worse annual # Northeast Monsoon is coming soon as Northern China is having very early winter.
The Cold surge has no mercy :(
What temperature range do you consider low for carrying over protected, indoors?
Just a touch above freezing at the minimum.
At 00:26 what kind of sunflowers are those behind you ?
Nvm, I see you addressed it later in the video.
I’m in Northern California and we’ve had whacky weather so the plants are confused so I’ve been in a cuttings frenzy to keep the cuttings in a little seedling tent all winter …I even have dreams of clippings bolting lol😂
I was wondering though, you mentioned somewhere about how a clipping ‘needed to root and shoot in that order’
The first time I tried to propagate rose cutting they rooted beautifully but rotted so never shooted
This time around my cuttings are shooting beautifully but the rooting is slow
I suppose there are failures either way, but in my cuttings I can usually expect a very good rate of success in those that root first/shoot later - and quite a low rate from those that shoot first & try to root later. Rot is one of the primary causes of failure either way.
Hi, how do you deal with powdery mildew? Sadly I have quite a few plants that have developed the problem now that it’s started to rain. Since you are from Oregon was hoping you could share tips on managing black spots and mildew during the rainy season. Appreciate your response
We're up the coast in BC, but similar challenges. This year was rough. A few things you can do: prompt leaf removal/sanitation of diseased foliage, apply sulfur, apply potassium bicarbonate (5ml/L). There are other fungicides, but I usually go with the less toxic options just listed. The other thing to keep in mind is that these foliar problems, while unsightly and annoying, are generally not a serious threat to the plant itself during the growing season. You can do a winter cleanup of all dropped foliage, replace mulch, and use lime sulfur over the winter to reduce carry over of spores - so that your plants can at least begin the season pretty clean.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much! I appreciate the guidance. Apologies your place looks so much like Oregon to me and so I must have got the impression you are in Oregon. Thank you for the amazing work. Bummer. I was going to ask you if I could buy some of the sunflower cuttings you were originating in the other video. I guess that’s not going to possible right?
What temperature of almost dormancy do you place them at?
Anything above freezing up to around 8c/46F if I can manage it. Our winters are mild, and if we get a warm stretch the basement room may bump a little higher - so let's just say I'm not using air conditioning to keep it cool, but I do like to keep it as cool as practical.
Thank you for answering the question about the cuttings dropping their leaves! Would you say that the same theory works for blueberry cuttings? That they may survive though the leaves have fallen off?
I took some cuttings pretty late and can see a few roots in the peat blocks, (first time ever) but almost all of the branches have dropped their leaves. I know they are a hard plant to propagate but I really want them to make it. Here in my climate we already have 4 degrees celcius at night so I’m getting a bit stressed out about loosing them to the frost too.
If I get frost nights, can I still have them in my mini greenhouse you think? Or do I need to dig them down in the ground before the first frost comes?
Thank you for your awsome content🌸🌸
Yes, I'd say they still have a chance so long as the wood remains a healthy color. Many of my blueberry cuttings paused for a long time, and I had loads of losses, but something like 20% still rooted and leafed out the following spring. I think my next attempt will be a much higher rate of rooting hormone to encourage faster callus.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you for the encoruagement and the very fast answer!!
Let’s hope for the best then!
How do you clean your pots for re-use? So many pots😮
Mostly I don't. I know some growers do spend a lot of time on cleaning pots, but so far I haven't seen many issues with reused pots causing disease. Some weed seeds, but nothing I can't handle.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm phew! Thanks🤗
I should clarify that these are young David Austin roses, kordes and hybrid teas. Thanks!
Hi Jason, this isn’t really relevant to the topic but I trust your advice on things. What is your opinion on systemics v sprays to treat thrips on roses?
I’m sort of at my wits end with thrips. This is my first summer with roses and they are a constant in the summer here in Houston. I haven’t used any insecticides and have been planting companion plants to attract predator insects. I know I’m still learning. But the thrip damage has been very disheartening.
I also am trying to provide an environment welcoming to pollinators. Is there a way to treat thrips but lessen risk to pollinators?
Thrips are a tough one to combat effectively. Even some of the "tried and true" heavy chemical treatments ( like Orthene) have begun to lose effectiveness due to resistance issues. I do love the approach of supporting predators - pirate bugs have been the hero for me! If you're considering sprays, I might suggest researching something like Spinosad for a quick targeted knock-down that has lower risk of human toxicity and less dramatic impacts on the surrounding environment.
What zone are those?
All sorts of zones. Most roses I grow average hardiness of zone 5 or 6, and our climate is zone 8. That gives me a little "cushion" on overwintering, but I always have to keep in mind that young, lightly-rooted plants in small pots are far more vulnerable to winter cold and wind.
I am in Toronto, if I take rose cuttings in October, where would I put them? I live in an apartment, I don’t have a garage , is keeping them at room temperature ok? Or the fridge? Thanks
Room temp is okay, but generally runs into some issues around pest pressures (aphids, spider mites), and of course maintaining air circulation, light & feeding in the right levels for plant health. Your call whether it's worth the extra effort or if it makes sense just to wait until spring.
what temp would be almost dormancy if i want turn down my temp?
Anything from just above freezing to say 5C/41F if you can get it that low.
I have a question I live in Washington state and my new roses i bought from Heirloom Roses and have a small one that won't grow and it's all yellow it's name is Candy Cane Cocktail. Also I have a rock and roll rose bush and it's not blooming at all either. The Darcey Bussel I bought at the same time has alot of foliage and has bloomed two times. The PH lvl is 7 or above I used some sulfur for hydrangeas to bring it down about a week ago. How long does it take for me to notice a difference and the roses to start blooming?
pH adjustments can take a year or two to really take effect. I can't conclude that pH is a serious problem at 7 or so - most nutrients still have decent availability all the way up to 7.5. You might conclude that the yellowing is due to poor iron availability, but it can also have to do with overall unhappy roots. Take it slow and steady. You've already done some pH modification. I'd suggest a continued focus on the basics: good site/sunlight, moderate additions of organic matter to the soil, consistent watering. Feeding with a liquid fertilizer with some amount of iron could green them up a bit, but don't go overboard.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm they are in almost all day sun. The fertilizer I'm using is liquid and it has .10% iron and i gave it some rose food. And what should I use for organic matter like blood meal?
Name and register that red Heliopsis, if you can.
I thought you were going to mention hard wood cuttings
Not this time, but here's a link to last year's vid: ruclips.net/video/4NONMYSK2h0/видео.html
Poke Weed Berries will stain everything!
Yeah - that's what I've heard. Kinda what makes them a good dye plant, but might yet be a little too wild/weeding for a long-term resident of my garden.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I parked a few Garden tractors near them, forget it, stains all over them!
Holy moley, I didn't have pokeweed as an ornamental on my bingo card today. Can't think of a more noxious invasive or larger weed other than maybe tree of heaven. Nah, it's worse. It thrives in 100 heat and survives below zero winters. It gets tree size fibrous stalks if it gets away from you which takes a machete to hack down because you shouldn't really touch it. While doing that, you have to try to avoid this white latex goo that comes out which can irritate eyes and skin, while also having the berries turning your hands purple and permanently staining your clothes. It stains everything. You then futilely take a digging bar and try to get the entire ridiculously deep tap and side roots. Impossible because it breaks too easily and each piece grows a new one. I have 20 year old garden beds that I still constantly battle because the root is so deep. You never really get rid of new plants either because inevitably, birds have seeded it wild nearby, and will keep bringing it back somewhere you don't notice until it's 12 feet high. Amazingly, even though it's quite poisonous, the greens were a staple in American southern slave populations, and they invented a cooking method that made them safe enough to eat. Planting spinach is much less hazardous and cleanup won't take a lifetime.
