Mike I need you to show me how to propagate the hardy huge plate flowers hibiscus, the stems are always green, in the winter they disappear then comes back In July if you need the name of these hibiscus let me know
This is why I love your channel. You're always so honest, not trying to look cool and pretend it's always easy to root cuttings but show us the truth that even you (who's is a master already) struggle sometimes. And most importantly you show us the results. There's way too many people who act smart and show different techniques but always leave viewers wondering how it turned out. And you? Big roots, small roots, long, short period of time, some extra work you did, you just don't care and show us the entire process. I REALLY appreciate that.
That's what it's all about! I still make every video as if I'm trying to teach my daughters something and they're the only ones watching. I appreciate your support, you'll always get the truth from me.
Great job! Not all experiments turn out like you think they will. You are completely honest with us regardless of the outcome. That is why you are so popular.
Hi Mike, I like the fact that you listen to your viewers and go the extra mile to encourage them not to give up. I didn’t give up because you don’t give up. Since August I tried your technique. It worked for me with the rose, and tried it also with my gardenia. I am so happy with the results. Thank you so much. My enemy though in Zone 10/11 is too much heat. Fungus sets in easily even with stablished roses!
Sounds like a nice tropical climate. I can imagine that heat is a big problem for you. You might want to look into setting up a small intermittent mist system.
I failed several times when I grow Rose from cutting but after following your method using sand .. it came out a success plant .. I transfer to a bigger plant pot without hurting their roots .. now my rose plant has flowers and enjoying her beauty of red in color .. Thank you Mike You are awesome great help ! God bless
Hello Sir, I was waiting for another cutting to leave a comment. Thank you for the information you share man. I got roots for the first time ever. Figs and lavender and well, I just about have most of my neighbourhood now rooting around here. Your time and effort and character is highly appreciated. And well played. Roses were the only ones that failed...
MIKE, after making 100s of rose cuttings i found that 8 to 10 weeks w/bottom heat i get about a 90% success rate. i would have figured you would have some kind of bench or table on the north side of that building where you put your cuttings at, in the above statement i foregot to say i keep the cuttings out of direct sun till i repot . GREAT INFO AND TIPs . GREAT VIDEO!!!
The bottom heat sure does help! I've got a whole frame with bottom heat but these videos are put together with what I have lying around. Great job on all your rose cuttings.
@@MikeKincaid79 your doing a SUPER GREAT job showing us viewers how to do this!!! wheres HENRY at? you didnt eat him did you??? haha! just kidding. you must be on a HUMMING BIRD fly way? in the spring i go through about 30 lbs. of sugar for them humming birds and bees!
Blessings mike, and too any one that's watching..I just started rooting the long stem rose's I get from people that love me 😁 so I started them with cactus slime i put the slime of the cactus on the bottom of the clippings put in it sand and they take off..😄😁😃 I'm loving this..I have my rose's from people that loves me..🤗🥰 thank you for all your wisdom 🙏
Thanks Mike, your tips are the greatest and so is your humour. I took a yellow rose from a bouquet at the office and tried rooting it using rooting powder. The stalk had no thorns and zero leaves and I didn't hold much hope, was just a curious experiment. In just 1 week it already had 3 shoots!! I'm in Windhoek, Namibia; spring has just started so the timing is perfect. Thank you, am grateful to you for sharing and enjoying your videos.
I am super excited, my roses, are not only rooted, they are going to bloom and they are only about 3 in. Tall. I also have several other plants that are rooted that I don't know the name of. I am super, super happy and staying busy, I can hardly contain my excitement. I have you to thank for this, every time I see one of my cuttings has rooted, I say thank you Mike. 😊😊😊😇😇😇🤣🤣🙃🙃🤗🤗🤗
I tried your method and out of about 40 cuttings I got about 12 Rose plants growing, the rest turned black so next time I’ll try the anti-fungal spray , sandier soil as well as the root hormone . I just planted 3 hydrangea cuttings too from my grandmothers original plant that has now been successfully cloned a few times by different family members. It’s great learning from your videos and it’s bringing colour to a lot of peoples lives , much appreciation that you take the time to teach anyone interested 🙏👍.
Cool, always! I got a rose cutting off a neighbor from Phoenix. right now, roses are pushing growth. The cutting was cut down (it was bushy) to make a half-dozen cuttings. We pruned his fig, unknown long-neck variety, and I did them all at the same time. Man, donno where my head was by a soft heart took as many as 50 cuttings from 4 branches. Roses and figs went in the same tote with 6 inches of peat. And, 30 cuttings taken last fall, wrapped in wet newspaper and in a plastic bag spent winter in the fridge. those are nutty. They went in 6 Feb. Roots and leaves are growing out the top.
@@MikeKincaid79 Not in bloom. when the folks were in chandler, Mom cut her last bloom for Christmas, and her 1st buds on Easter. These cuttings already broke bud. I'm a little iffy, but stuck them in with some fig cuttings. Yo, you want roses in January? Keep a pot in the greenhouse into December. Bring it in after New Years and given plenty of sun, it might bloom before Feb..
Mike, I'm happy to inform you that my rose cuttings are still fresh AND grew new leaves after just two weeks! I followed your technique in this video with slight change - I used coarse sand with lighter colour (even after watering, still look lighter than yours) and using calcium spray (calcium powder and water, can't find your anti-fungal) to spray at the leaves, root area and sand. After two weeks, I checked my cuttings and happy to see cuttings look fresh and new leaves. The bottles still have water droplets, soil still wet. FYI, my weather/climatr is tropical (lots of sun and rain whole year) not 4 seasons like yours but so happy that your technique still works at my climate.
@@MikeKincaid79 what's next action after the cuttings have lots of root growing in the pots? Can I move the cuttings into larger pots but continue using coarse sand only? I want to start preparing as where I live, either hard to find or take long time to get supplies (some can take up to a month after ordering!) P/s: I also shared your video to my mother and gardening group after they saw my own rootings - they were excited to know how-to 😊.
I experienced black stem too I did what you did except I watered lightly only once a week Soil mostly dry Rose stem grew new stems but no roots Then the plant put all energy into making roots Success Good luck
This happened to my cuttings but I had no clue what I was doing. They actually started growing during the summer, but I forgot about them & they died. Thanks for showing the correct way to root them. I love hydrangeas, so thats my next project after I get this down pat.
That amount of root is good enough! I've taken semi hard cuttings that I've been rooting that only had small nubs of roots on it much less than that rose, live just fine in the ground! Love the experiments and information, Mike. Thank you
Interesting video. I never have problems with my rose cuttings, but I use the upper part of the flowered shoot, the top 5 inches with at least 3 axils. I think the biggest mistake is sticking the cutting all the way down, you only need to bury the first bud on the bottom. Also I never water after at least 2 to 3 weeks and they root in a month for me.
hi actually i was just thinking about this problem when planting a rose, because i have been trying to grow roses ever since, and i have not been successful until now, and this problem that you are talking about is the same issue i have every time i am trying to grow roses from cuttings... i hope after i watch this video i would be able to successfully grow my own rose plants...
And don't do what he did.... pulling it up three times 🤣 I've made the same mistake ..being impatient. I actually killed a cutting that had started rooting and it was a cutting I cant get again 😟
Mike this is a great video. Thanks so very much for recommending it. I am certain that I have been doing it all wrong and will make the changes necessary. God bless you and your love for growing. You are an inspiration to all of us.
Hi Mike From Liverpool ,UK. Delighted to tell you that I propagated several different rose cuttings and they have all rooted Thanks so much for your helpful advice. Am still following your videos🇬🇧
Btw.. Love your accent.. Yes I always al ways get black spot on my cuttings.. Nice clean hands too.. 😁. Honey is also good. Sand ahhh. True.. Fun-giii-side. 🤣 Thank You.. 👍 Good job !!!
When I lived in the PNW, I rooted my roses in a similar manner. The cutting that you took looked good. I would say rose cuttings should be about 6-8" long. I would scrape the base of the stem, dip it in water, and then dip it in rooting hormone. I used potting soil and placed the cutting in the shade. I did not use a plastic bottle to cover my cuttings. There was plenty of humidity in the air and covering the cutting would encourage mold and mildew to grow. I did not use any fungicide. I kept the soil damp so that the cutting wouldn't dry out. Also, I recommend propagating roses in May or June so that they become established before winter.
Hey Mike, may I most kindly ask to do a short video to ask people choose a "no palm oil" food please. I know it is random but people like you have more publicity and makes bigger impact that is crucial to all living beings ❤
I have been struggling with getting cuttings to grow from my daughter’s house from the mid 1800’s. Yellow and pink June roses. So I will try sand and the fungicide to avoid the black stuff. And I will get back with you if I can get them to grow.
Mike, your enthusiasm is contagious, I know I've said that before, but it's true! I won't take cuttings this late in the year, however, next June, July, and August I'll be casing the neighborhood with pruners in hand! Lol, on second thought, maybe I'll just propagate some of my own favorite shrubs! I love your videos! By the way, I was also distracted by the hummingbird. ~Margie
I'm so glad you're here, Margie! You know how to make a person feel good. Thanks for the nice comment and I wish you tons of luck next summer. I really need to go back and watch this video, I never noticed that hummingbird.
I feel rather proud that all I did was snip off a 4" top of the rose bush coming through the fence from the neighbour's garden, put it in water for 2 weeks and then planted it in a pot. It's now about 7" tall and healthy with new growth. I'm moving it to a sheltered spot for winter and hopefully it'll survive.
After 2 weeks I am doing well. I used cinnamon, alo vera, powdered egg shell for growth hormone. I didn't know u can pop off thorns. Hate how thorns got kot in bag as I take off when watering thx I learned something
Yeah I did mine in early June and all the leaves fell off and it stayed leafless for while but still had green stalks. I though they had failed but then one week some leaf buds appear and right now some of them are already about to get their first flower.
Mike That was awesome...you pit lots of patience and passion into helping us with our issues and helping us be successful . Really like your approach and perseverance. Hope your little buddy rose cutting maked it...i believe along with you that it will. Your the best buddy
Now you have me nervous. Just took a cutting today I’m trying to root. We had a little remembrance for my wife’s cousin. They spread his ashes in his childhood hangout where they lived. So I took a cutting of a nearby rose. Figure if it grows I can continue propagating and give each person a plant. Let’s see what happens. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
You may need to bring it inside, this late in the season. If you do bring it inside then you probably won't need bottom heat but it will still take longer to root. That's pretty cool that you're doing that, Jim. Best of luck.
Mike Kincaid thanks. I like plants that have stories behind them not just from a store or packet of seed. It’s more challenging to propagate, sneak seeds, bring something back from the edge (I’ve got plenty of these and thriving). It’s a better skills sharpener. You become a bit of a detective trying to figure out what happened when something doesn’t go right.
Oh man @ Mike Kincade, was so buying that large heat mat until the shipping to Canada killed it for my budget ($296 shipping) Ugh!!🙄 I'll find another way to support you!
Wow, that's crazy! Glad you didn't buy it. I've never heard of shipping costs being that high. Definitely find a different heat mat closer to home. Thanks for your support and good luck in your search.
Hi Mike, Thanks for Your Videos. I Learn Something Every Time. I live in Mississippi, it’s November 2020. We are Thinking of Moving, and I Hope to Root some cuttings of My Roses in This Yard. I TRIED last April ,To Propagate a Hydrangea cuttings of My Grandmother Hydrangea. It Did So Good at first, then Died after I took Coke bottle off the top. (My Cuttings Stems, were more Wooden Stems) I Think It Maybe got Too Much Sun.🌞
Too much sun and also you may have pulled the top off too fast. You want to slowly acclimate the cuttings to lower humidity levels over a few days to a week. Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for your support! And thanks for your service!
1,5 to 2 months ago I made cutting from 3 different kind of roses, after I had a failed attempt mid summer (cuttings got black and did not root). This time I have succes and the big difference is I put them inside near a window (20 degrees C), cut a little lower on the stem and used better draining sand with a little bit of nutrition in it (special seed and cutting soil from a store).
@@MikeKincaid79 Mostly because of your videos and tips, the 3 things I mentioned I got from your videos. The only thing I have a hard time making cuttings from, after august, is the more woody hydrangeas (paniculata bobo), like I mentioned at your previous video. Those still have no roots. I hope it just takes some more patience. Or maybe I should take some hardwood cuttings in november/december or cuttings early next summer.
I'm new to the gardening world....Just found this channel! I binge watched all day Saturday, and have already attempted 3 new rose "babies" from cuttings. I am very anxious to see if they will "take" or not. The waiting is going to be tough!
The mold comes from the mulch people pot the roses in. The sand is sterile so it is equivalent to water bottle rooting where all nutrients come just from the stem. The other part of the mold is the covering keeping the humidity very high. After a couple of summers of 100% cutting failure rate, I am trying a variation now to see if I can get something going. Mulch literally is molded wood chips, so it is a bad place to start roses.
Hi Mike, I live in W. Washington, and I have a fair number of ornamentals and fruiting plants I have begun to propagate. I grew white currants for the first time this year, and they ripened during the first week of July. It was a White Imperial bush I bought from Burnt Ridge, and the berries were amazing. They tasted like a mix of generic non-bitter citrus, sweet green grape, and a hint of yellow raspberry. I am layering the bush, and I plan to add more varieties this Winter. The only currants I had tried before this year were the awful red ones sold at the supermarket. Have you tried white or pink currants? They are supposed to be extremely easy to propagate from cuttings, and do very well in the maritime climate of W. Washington.
talk around their feeder so they get used to hearing voices, first you be out there real still the more they see you are not going to harm them they get used to you. this is the "SHORT" version of getting birds or animals used to human contact! just dont try to handle them, they are still wild and could hurt you or make you sick
Hi Mike tried ur previous method and it worked ... rooted in 6weeks... also can you make a vid using cinnamon as a rooting subsitute. ... it's worked for me with alot of my cuttings... thank you so much.... 👍✌☺
Awesome! Glad to hear you're having good success with it. I plan to do a video about different household items as rooting hormones. In the mean time, here's my take on it: ruclips.net/video/dQPQ2myM2Dk/видео.html
I love the fact that even though it was pulled out so many times it's still rooting! 😯😍 Question though 🤔 can I use regular soil (mixed with a bit of Fox Farm) & put more perlite for better drainage?
Yes, play sand will work very well. Glad you enjoyed the video. Here's another video about rooting roses, that is more comprehensive: ruclips.net/video/y_1fUrMhCpg/видео.html
One's not better than the other, just two different methods to get the same outcome. Air layers can be a little more forgiving and more of a "set it and forget it" situation. You'll still want to monitor the air layers for moisture in the peat.
Hi Mike and greetings from New Zealand. You seem very good at growing rose cuttings so am asking for advice. I planted several rose cuttings last Autumn (sorry, Fall in the US) approx April/May. It's September now and my cuttings look super healthy with lots of foliage and good stems. Today I thought I'd pot them up and was very surprised to find they had no roots, just healthy looking stems which are sprouting branches. Please tell me what all this means. Thank you.
So, you stuck the cuttings in your fall and they sat all winter? If so, you're now in spring and I'd give them more time to root before trying to pot them up. If they're healthy then just let them warm up with the weather and slowly grow roots.

Thanks Mike for showing the end results, very informative video .
You're welcome, William, glad it helped out.
LOL Mike, you make me enjoy propagating rose more than ever. Thanks for being you :)
LOL, Glad to hear it, Mary. Have fun in the garden and propagating your roses!
Your videos are always so well done. I love your enthusiasm and honesty. I will be trying my luck this spring. Thanks
Good luck and have fun with it, Larry!
Looks like your garden is a safe heaven for nice little birds there.....That's amazing!
& Thanks for the video....
I love attracting the wildlife to my property.
Btw.. Love your accent..
Yes I always al ways get black spot on my cuttings..
Nice clean hands too.. 😁.
Honey is also good.
Sand ahhh. True..
Fun-giii-side. 🤣
Thank You.. 👍
Good job !!!
I learn a lot from your videos
Me too, lol
I love that hummingbird coming in at 0:20.
Haha, yeah, I didn't even notice it until I was editing.
This video has been so helpful, i have been getting them black didnt know its due to fungus
Yep, and it can be combated fairly easily with a well draining and inert material and an antifungal spray.
When I lived in the PNW, I rooted my roses in a similar manner. The cutting that you took looked good. I would say rose cuttings should be about 6-8" long. I would scrape the base of the stem, dip it in water, and then dip it in rooting hormone. I used potting soil and placed the cutting in the shade. I did not use a plastic bottle to cover my cuttings. There was plenty of humidity in the air and covering the cutting would encourage mold and mildew to grow. I did not use any fungicide. I kept the soil damp so that the cutting wouldn't dry out. Also, I recommend propagating roses in May or June so that they become established before winter.
All ideas sound good. I've got multiple videos addressing these points. Thanks, Frank.
Great work, Mike. Love roses, hate the thorns, but can't wait to try this in Sydney, Australia!
Thanks, Jenny! I feel the same about roses but I guess we have to take the bad with the good. Enjoy your summer!
Hummingbird at :20
Hey Mike, may I most kindly ask to do a short video to ask people choose a "no palm oil" food please. I know it is random but people like you have more publicity and makes bigger impact that is crucial to all living beings ❤
AWESOME VIDEO MIKE!!! Thank You For Sharing!! I am definitely going to try your method!!
You'll love the results, Eddie!
Thank you Mike, merry Christmas and happy new year to you all.
Merry Christmas!!!
I have been struggling with getting cuttings to grow from my daughter’s house from the mid 1800’s. Yellow and pink June roses. So I will try sand and the fungicide to avoid the black stuff. And I will get back with you if I can get them to grow.
Definitely do let me know. I think you'll find a lot of success with that method. Good luck, Heidi.
Mike, your enthusiasm is contagious, I know I've said that before, but it's true! I won't take cuttings this late in the year, however, next June, July, and August I'll be casing the neighborhood with pruners in hand! Lol, on second thought, maybe I'll just propagate some of my own favorite shrubs! I love your videos! By the way, I was also distracted by the hummingbird. ~Margie
I'm so glad you're here, Margie! You know how to make a person feel good. Thanks for the nice comment and I wish you tons of luck next summer. I really need to go back and watch this video, I never noticed that hummingbird.
I feel rather proud that all I did was snip off a 4" top of the rose bush coming through the fence from the neighbour's garden, put it in water for 2 weeks and then planted it in a pot. It's now about 7" tall and healthy with new growth. I'm moving it to a sheltered spot for winter and hopefully it'll survive.
Cool man. You're invoking jealousy in a lot of people right now, lol
After 2 weeks I am doing well. I used cinnamon, alo vera, powdered egg shell for growth hormone. I didn't know u can pop off thorns. Hate how thorns got kot in bag as I take off when watering thx I learned something
Fantastic Video! You proved to never give up on your plants!
Never will. Thanks for your support here!
You are so passionate about your rose!! I love it!
lol 😝
I love these plants!
Yeah I did mine in early June and all the leaves fell off and it stayed leafless for while but still had green stalks. I though they had failed but then one week some leaf buds appear and right now some of them are already about to get their first flower.
It pays to stay with it. Good job, Ryan!
The hummingbird in the background in the beginning 😍
It's funny, I never noticed him until someone pointed it out. Really cool!
Mike
That was awesome...you pit lots of patience and passion into helping us with our issues and helping us be successful . Really like your approach and perseverance.
Hope your little buddy rose cutting maked it...i believe along with you that it will.
Your the best buddy
Glad you enjoyed the video, Ryan, and thanks for your support.
Extremely well done video, thank u Mike !!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant, I’m going to try this in UK A big thank you
Have fun!
Now you have me nervous. Just took a cutting today I’m trying to root. We had a little remembrance for my wife’s cousin. They spread his ashes in his childhood hangout where they lived. So I took a cutting of a nearby rose. Figure if it grows I can continue propagating and give each person a plant. Let’s see what happens. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
You may need to bring it inside, this late in the season. If you do bring it inside then you probably won't need bottom heat but it will still take longer to root. That's pretty cool that you're doing that, Jim. Best of luck.
Mike Kincaid thanks. I like plants that have stories behind them not just from a store or packet of seed. It’s more challenging to propagate, sneak seeds, bring something back from the edge (I’ve got plenty of these and thriving). It’s a better skills sharpener. You become a bit of a detective trying to figure out what happened when something doesn’t go right.
Oh man @ Mike Kincade, was so buying that large heat mat until the shipping to Canada killed it for my budget ($296 shipping) Ugh!!🙄 I'll find another way to support you!
Wow, that's crazy! Glad you didn't buy it. I've never heard of shipping costs being that high. Definitely find a different heat mat closer to home. Thanks for your support and good luck in your search.
If you just planted it into the transparent glass jar, it would be much more easier to see roots with out damaging them.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for Your Videos. I Learn Something Every Time.
I live in Mississippi, it’s November 2020. We are Thinking
of Moving, and I Hope to Root some cuttings of My Roses
in This Yard.
I TRIED last April ,To Propagate a Hydrangea cuttings of
My Grandmother Hydrangea. It Did So Good at first, then
Died after I took Coke bottle off the top. (My Cuttings
Stems, were more Wooden Stems)
I Think It Maybe got Too Much Sun.🌞
Too much sun and also you may have pulled the top off too fast. You want to slowly acclimate the cuttings to lower humidity levels over a few days to a week. Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for your support! And thanks for your service!
1,5 to 2 months ago I made cutting from 3 different kind of roses, after I had a failed attempt mid summer (cuttings got black and did not root). This time I have succes and the big difference is I put them inside near a window (20 degrees C), cut a little lower on the stem and used better draining sand with a little bit of nutrition in it (special seed and cutting soil from a store).
Great job, glad you figured it out, Bart!
@@MikeKincaid79 Mostly because of your videos and tips, the 3 things I mentioned I got from your videos. The only thing I have a hard time making cuttings from, after august, is the more woody hydrangeas (paniculata bobo), like I mentioned at your previous video. Those still have no roots. I hope it just takes some more patience. Or maybe I should take some hardwood cuttings in november/december or cuttings early next summer.
I'm new to the gardening world....Just found this channel! I binge watched all day Saturday, and have already attempted 3 new rose "babies" from cuttings. I am very anxious to see if they will "take" or not. The waiting is going to be tough!
That's the hardest part! Good luck and have fun. Thanks for your support.
When using sand is it any sand like what you buy for the sandbox?? & it's pure sand no potting soil??
Mike has a video on using sand..Go to his channel listings you should see it there.
Any sand that drains well.
Thank you... I have been trying for so long... I will try your way
This particular method should give you great results, Mohamed!
Thank you so much. Will definitely try this one.
This is so helpful and inspiring. Going to try this!
Good luck, Ann!
Muy interesante el experimento
Thanks so much for this information! I had that problem a LOT!!!
No problem, Sherry! I've heard so many people mention this problem and am always working on ways to make this easier.
The mold comes from the mulch people pot the roses in. The sand is sterile so it is equivalent to water bottle rooting where all nutrients come just from the stem. The other part of the mold is the covering keeping the humidity very high. After a couple of summers of 100% cutting failure rate, I am trying a variation now to see if I can get something going. Mulch literally is molded wood chips, so it is a bad place to start roses.
This will be a beautiful thing to preserve cuttings from Grammy’s funeral. Fingers crossed!
I'm rooting for you!
Estoy aprendiendo mucho con sus videos
Glad you enjoy them, Maria!
Hi Mike, I live in W. Washington, and I have a fair number of ornamentals and fruiting plants I have begun to propagate. I grew white currants for the first time this year, and they ripened during the first week of July. It was a White Imperial bush I bought from Burnt Ridge, and the berries were amazing. They tasted like a mix of generic non-bitter citrus, sweet green grape, and a hint of yellow raspberry. I am layering the bush, and I plan to add more varieties this Winter. The only currants I had tried before this year were the awful red ones sold at the supermarket. Have you tried white or pink currants? They are supposed to be extremely easy to propagate from cuttings, and do very well in the maritime climate of W. Washington.
I've never tried eating or growing them but I'll keep my eyes open for them at the nursery.
So the next question is “How do you attract hummingbirds while you’re talking to a camera?”
talk around their feeder so they get used to hearing voices, first you be out there real still the more they see you are not going to harm them they get used to you. this is the "SHORT" version of getting birds or animals used to human contact! just dont try to handle them, they are still wild and could hurt you or make you sick
Yes ...How do you do that Mike??? How do you get hummingbird as a backdrop???? :)
LOL, they sure seem to like it here!
It's your personality man!
Hi Mike tried ur previous method and it worked ... rooted in 6weeks... also can you make a vid using cinnamon as a rooting subsitute. ... it's worked for me with alot of my cuttings... thank you so much.... 👍✌☺
Awesome! Glad to hear you're having good success with it. I plan to do a video about different household items as rooting hormones. In the mean time, here's my take on it: ruclips.net/video/dQPQ2myM2Dk/видео.html
Aww the hummingbird behind your head
Just stopping by.
Thank you.! this will be my next project.
Have fun and good luck, Patty!
Cinnamon is a great antifungal and antibacterial. Dip the cutting and also put some in the sand.
Interesting..Thanks
Yes it is, thanks for mentioning that.
I love the fact that even though it was pulled out so many times it's still rooting! 😯😍 Question though 🤔 can I use regular soil (mixed with a bit of Fox Farm) & put more perlite for better drainage?
Wow truth and Wisdom Thank YOU for it All Awesome
Omg 💕🐝 the hummingbird 💫
The hummingbird stole the show!
thank you, i will try mine
Great video. I love your videos. I love roses!!!!!! :):)
More to come next year!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr green thumb you are the very best.
Thank you for the clear and complete instructions to grow roses roots.
Is playing sand good for this?
Yes, play sand will work very well. Glad you enjoyed the video. Here's another video about rooting roses, that is more comprehensive: ruclips.net/video/y_1fUrMhCpg/видео.html
Excellent tip, Mike!
Glad you enjoyed it, Peggy!
Yesss ❤️❤️ the hummingbird @ :20
Going to check it out!
❤❤❤❤❤love your instruction 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow you sure have the propagation technique.
The cute little hummingbirds first appearance is at 0:19 for anyone interested. Have a great day 😊
Thank you for these tips it worked!!!!
You're welcome!
Is it better to get new roses from cuttings or air layering?
One's not better than the other, just two different methods to get the same outcome. Air layers can be a little more forgiving and more of a "set it and forget it" situation. You'll still want to monitor the air layers for moisture in the peat.
Hi Mike and greetings from New Zealand. You seem very good at growing rose cuttings so am asking for advice. I planted several rose cuttings last Autumn (sorry, Fall in the US) approx April/May. It's September now and my cuttings look super healthy with lots of foliage and good stems. Today I thought I'd pot them up and was very surprised to find they had no roots, just healthy looking stems which are sprouting branches. Please tell me what all this means. Thank you.
So, you stuck the cuttings in your fall and they sat all winter? If so, you're now in spring and I'd give them more time to root before trying to pot them up. If they're healthy then just let them warm up with the weather and slowly grow roots.
