Jason, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I don't comment much any more because I watch on my TV and commenting is a pain. Anyway I wanted to thank you for the help with propagation. I had quite a bit of success wih Hydrangia, buddleia, and a few others this summer. It has taken me few years to get the right processs and I've learned most of it from you.
thank you for another useful propagating video. We are in summer here in New Zealand and had a lovely warm Christmas day. Rather wet day today which is Boxing day.
Thank you for all the expert advice. I love propagating plants and there is always more to learn. I have had many satisfying successes, especially with hydrangeas, roses and weigelas, but my downfall is that I have not been able to get yew cuttings to root and I am quite sure the problem is my soil mixture not being right. I am also the one who commented about right-clicking on your new website to open individual tabs for each rose variety to keep track of what I have and have not ruled out as choices. You said you think we are approaching it from two different directions, which I agree with since I have never used it for copying images. Anyway, you can be sure I will be using the site as an information resource as it is really well organized with useful filters and I am looking forward to seeing more varieties added. Wishing you and yours all the best for the New Year!
Jason, I love your channel. I pray you are having a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Years ago (45) when I was starting a garden. I had a red rose in a part of my garden that had very rich soil and dense bed of plants. The soil was never soggy or dry, it stayed pretty consistent with moisture (SoCal area). The lower part of the rose never got sun, the upper constant sun. I was thinning the garden one day and noticed that some of the thorns on the lower half were sprouting roots and some had already rooted. I’ve never seen that happen since. I was wondering if you had ever heard of that happening?
This is great information. Thanks so much. When you add auxins, do you do it just the once? How much root development do you have before you start feeding?
Thanks Vanessa. In general, yes - the rooting hormone application (IBA powder in this case) is designed to be a one-time boost to help with callus formation and root initiation. Too much can get the plant "stuck" on callus - so if you're going to change the number of applications, you'd do so with experimentation in mind (like what if I did half as much but 1 week apart? Or applied a low concentration as he powder, and then supplemented with the spray-on version).
Hi Jason. I have a question about rootless plants pulling water. I have had some cuttings that I forgot to cover, and they were almost dead. They were very, very wilted to the point they were not rigid. I covered them and they recovered. These were mostly tomato plants, but it seems there must be some degree of water intake even before the roots grow. Also, if it's not so, why are cut roses put in water?
Thanks. And great discussion - because yes, water is absorbed through the stems and even directly into tissue (with a soak, for instance) - but I still make the caution that you've "cut off their water supply" because it's progressively more difficult to bring them back from dehydration. In fact, one trick they'll use when dealing with exhibition roses that have wilted: a full deep soak in warm water. The warm water gets through into the tissues (not just at the base of the stem) to plump up the wilted rose, and it does it faster than cool water.
Merry Christmas Jason!!! I am going to try some propagation and breeding of roses this year. When breeding when is the earliest or latest I can try to pollinate the roses?

I read your post and am curious; where those thorns in contact with the soil?
It's nothing I've seen personally - interesting and I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it!

It's all based on the maturity of the flower - here I'd be expecting early June through to around late August to allow time for ripening hips
Great content as always. Commenting for the a*g*r*t*m.
Lol. Thanks so much!
