I hope you all enjoy this one. I sure had a lot of fun making it! Here's the original rose video with the 8 million views: ruclips.net/user/shortsyUvPF0mIrXE but to be honest, I think we hit a lot more detail in shorter time in this video that I just posted, and cleaned up the process a bit. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for making such informative videos. I needed to ask a question, I would be very grateful if you can reply please. What does one have to do to take rose cutting from one place to another? like from one city to another by air, like to cut it a day before or days before and plant it and then take it? I still have 10 days to go. If it has to be cut a day before how to store it so it has any success of growing and not dying? I did plant couple cutting my friend gave me couple days ago and I have to travel in a 12 days or so should I get fresh cutting again or they will do fine, currently those are in the soil and I did use the root Powder as well. Please guide me on how to proceed. Many thanks :-)
Hi Mike, I’m in dire straits with potentially having killed a two month old cutting. I gave it too much iron. Is there a way to contact you directly to discuss the specifics of this plant, please??? I really need help.
Never would have thought about spraying it. Learning lots. Goes to show - no matter your age - you are never too old to learn. And I am learning loads. Quite a great teacher. I have gone to #1 and going through them all. Love, love, love them. So this is my 2nd time to watch this. Can tell you love plants.
I tried with this method yesterday. 30th September. My peace rose already bloomed and spent it's bloom. Today it's 36 degrees Celsius and summer is months away. 😅 🤞 this method works.
@@MikeKincaid79 I placed it somewhere where I didn't think got direct sunlight. So it kinda got cooked. It's survived me being away from home for 8 days. I've got a large plastic tub that I use as a humidity dome now. I sit it under my back decking out of direct light. The cutting has callused up. I haven't checked for roots for a 2 weeks. But it just put on some new growth. It seems to be getting there 🤞 I wish I had access to better rooting medium. That fine fur bark you use looks so good.
It's just gotten it's first root. Took about 5-6 werks. What a rollercoaster. It's just started some top growth now. I've potted it in some potting mix and trying to get it aclimated to normal humidity. It didn't seem to like it so I put it back into the humidity dome and it's perked up. Going to try get it going without the extra humidity over these coming days.
Thanks again for another great video. I am 74 and I love to garden when my health allows. Each day the good Lord wakes me up it’s a gift, so I love to be outside and garden. We live in Texas, with extreme heat and sometimes drought, so I try to do a lot in the spring before the summer heat. I have several roses, but the one that I am trying to root is called a Peggy Martin from Louisiana. It survived the sea water from Katrina, so it is a fighter. It is so pretty. Thank you again.🌹
Are you specifically hybridizing different roses? I've never grown roses from seed but it sounds like a fun project. Just make sure you know what the cross is so you have an idea of where you're going with the new colors and traits.
Mike, propagating is so darn much fun! Thank you, for all of your fantastic how-to videos. Since my first attempt at propagation (over 45 years ago) was successful (by air layering), I have cloned my favorite shrubs. Fruit trees are the next thing I plan to propagate in 2023. I hope your family has a great weekend! ~Margie🤗💐🐝🦋
I really enjoyed your detailed instructions on propagating a rose plant from stem cuttings!! I've never tried to work with roses but thought I would give it a try. I feel encouraged after watching your video. Thanks for sharing! I'm watching from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Amazing and great successful experiment thanks a lot Mr Mike, 9 years ago i thought cloning roses is useless and i gave on it "i was a beginner then" but about 2 year ago you have showed us otherwise thank you so much, also i make my own antifungal solution (actually the last stag of creating it is waiting for it to dry and turn into a light blue coloured powder) it's name is (copper hydroxide) if you want the recipe Mr Mike then you absolutely got it "you've done tons of great stuff for us and it's time to give something back as a gratitude" so yeah, thanks again and we'll see you soon ✌
My mom could grow anything, I didn’t get that gift but want to learn to get a green thumb. Now that she passed I’d like to propagate her roses while the property is still my father’s. I’m excited to try to start my own roses from hers!
I am excited to have found your channel. I've done a lot of gardening - canned, loved roses. I have a hard time finding the fragrant roses. I love those. To me a rose is synonymous with fragrance. Where can I find the old-time fragrant roses? Do a list for us???? :-) I'm a great grandma - and I want some roses!!! I've loved them forever. My momma loved yellow roses. My oldest son loved the really deep red roses. He gave his wife and 3 young'uns roses for Valentines Day. My youngest son loved the Joseph's Coat! I'd love to do a rose garden and plant different roses that family members loved. On an acreage we had bought (at edge of town) there was a rose bush (leggy and tiny white roses). Don't think it had ever been pruned. Well, I just did it like I had my others and pruned it back big time. Oh my gosh. That thing grew the biggest most beautiful white roses after that. God Bless you young man! Love your channel. Your love of plants, the care and growing and how to grow your own plants - love love love it!
Thanks for these super detailed and easy to do methods, Mike. I am new to plant propagation and what seemed intimidating before seems much simpler now thanks to your help.
Hi Mike, thanks for all your hard work you do to help a garden freak like me 😁 I wanted to share a tip for recycling while gardening. I took the container from a vegetable tray, with cover, and filled each slot with seed mix soil and started my harvested petunia seeds. By the time they outgrow the tray, they'll be ready for transplanting into my jello shot glasses, also recycled from the same dinner party, and used as mini pots. From there, I have red solo cups to use for bigger plants. 😎Work had a going away party for someone and I ended up with garden supplies lol Cheers!
OK. So here's a funny story. I've tried about a dozen different ways to root roses... hormone powder, liquid, commercial, and homemade. Aloe. Cinnamon. Swearing. Begging. Crying salty tears. I've used glass cloches, plastic and glass jars, and shade cloths. You name it. I've killed many several dozens of cuttings. Nothing rooted. This past Christmas, I cut down some grocery store roses to fit a low vase for a table setting. I had about two dozen 8" stems with leaves. I remembered a rose I'd grown from a cutting when I was nine. I'd stuck the cutting under a dripping faucet at my parent's house in Dallas. It was the height of summer and hot, but the spot was shaded. That was decades ago. I had a 'Eutin' in the garden for years. I thought I'd try rooting roses one last time. I took eight of the stems salvaged from the Christmas bouquet, a few leaves attached, and stuck them in the ground in my fallow vegetable garden. That was it. It was rainy and overcast all winter (I live in San Francisco), so, though the cuttings were in the open and unprotected, they never dried out. ALL the stems showed new growth in about two weeks. In the third week, the original foliage dropped off. There were healthy maroon shoots bursting from side buds. I tugged on each stem, and lo! they'd all rooted. I now have eight healthy rose plants. We'll see how they do in my chilly SF zone.
Watching your videos, my rose success rate has climbed dramatically each year. I'm in a cooler zone with a much shorter growing season than you, but the principles stay the same. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I have been trying to get a cutting from my old rose bush. Tried many other ways yours was the first time I have roots! I want to plant it! I’m in Mi so I don’t want to keep it in my house this winter. I don’t know if it would continue to grow in the shed. I might just take one of the cuttings and start it in a month.I put 4 under the bottle.
I’m almost done rooting that peach rose for you to trade for the blue girl. I’m also going to thos in some other rose cuttings that you can root yourself. Also a rhodendra as well
Your success propagating roses is astounding. And the technique is SO transferable to other species. At least it has been for me. That rose growing out the drainage hole though…Daggum! Talk about overflowing success! Haha. (Makes me curios if roses can be propagated by root cuttings 🤔)
thank you for referring me to this page. I shall be trying it and can't wait to update you on my "success or failure " for the first time. My question is, with my northern winters being as cold as they are, would I need to cover them with extra covering in my small unheated hoop house?
It's hard for me to give direction for every climate but in general, rooted cuttings are as tough as the parent plant. Here's a playlist of videos about overwintering rooted cuttings: ruclips.net/p/PLpmpssr45yfMtl3yav-vy1qGsTDdTVWSl
You're best planters what wonderful and beautiful plants, let more roses in red, pink and white as lovely, good job, Mike and I love your beautiful cat 🐈 😉👋👍🌷🪴
I love this video, and the rose, so much I really must have missed somewhere in another video or I forgot,I'm old you know, anyway THANK YOU❣️LOVE TO ALL THE GIRLS💞🥰💖
Love this video! Have you ever had success propagating roses directly in the ground where you want them to grow? Is there a benefit to starting them in pots? Thanks in advance!
I haven't tried that with roses. I suppose it would work but I'd make sure to block them from direct sun or they'll cook with a plastic bottle over them. You could try hardwood cuttings in the winter and then you can not use the plastic bottle, but you'd want them in full sun to warm the soil.
Very good, enthusiastic, and informative video. I propagate many indoor and outdoor plants to give as gifts but never took on a rose. My question to you is this-is there is some type of shortcoming to a rose not having a proper crown? I just took clippings here in Washinton state on 9/9 and probably started too late, but we'll see. I only had peat moss as a medium on hand but did use a rooting hormone.
I am going to be trying my hand at cuttings here very soon and your videos make me think I can! Some questions: 1. How often should I water the cuttings? 2. I want to eventually transfer them into pots, probably the ones that are like small barrels, and I want to know how (and when) is best to do that, and then how often should I be watering them then. I am a chronic over and underwater-er. I haven't found my goldilocks level yet.
It's been interesting n very much helpful watching your videos. In August I made my rose cutting n placed them inside a bottle greenhouse, they started budding nicely I now placed them out of the cap and I noticed they are withering and turning black. Where have I gone wrong?
If they started wilting as soon as you took them out of the container then it sounds like they didn't have enough roots to support the new growth yet and maybe pulled the bottle off too soon. Either that or they just needed a longer acclimation period.
Ey m8! I always love the time lapse videos. Proper job on the rose, can't believe how healthy the original leaves stayed on the cutting. But now you know I gotta ask about the fir trees on the side of the barn. Those suckers have really taken off!
Yeah, they've grown fast. Some of them died cause they grew so fast and outgrew the pots. I definitely need to get them in the ground this fall or winter.
@@MikeKincaid79 I have beautiful fragrant roses at my home in Des Moines, WA that were already mature when I moved in 26+ years ago. I have no clue what species they are, but now you’ve inspired me to try and propagate them. I’ll let you know what happens! Thanks again🤠
You have a very beautiful cat, Mike. It is the end of September, seems like it is much too late to attempt propagation of roses. I may give it a shot, though.
Yeah, unfortunately these videos are finished up after the fact. It's getting a little cool to start now but you may have success being in a warmer climate.
@@MikeKincaid79 That Blue Girl rose is a gorgeous color. I have successfully propagated adorable little pink roses from a very hardy “old rose” bush down the road. (A nice older lady allowed me to take cuttings.). But I haven’t been able to propagate from other, more delicate roses.
Cracking video Mike. I was wondering are there types of roses which are easier to propagate then others. I imagine the old English are the easiest rather than the more modern hybrids but perhaps this isn't true? In addition, are there any particular roses which have a reputation for being easy to propagate?
Oddly enough, I'm not a rose afficianado, lol. I know that all the varieties I've tried to root have rooted well with this method. I'm sure that, like rhododendrons, there are some varieties that root better than others, and yes, usually the older varieties root better.
...I was given a cut rose and now the bloom is fading. Can this stem be rooted after being in water for so long? I also snipped some berry branches and stuck them in the same pot of vermiculite (wet) and covered with a baggie. Do they need peat moss and each to have their own pot? Mike, I am certain you could get a rock to grow roots. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I'm in 5b but preserve my roses by mounding in compost for our harsh winters but mulch will drain quickly so add soil or fallen leaves to reduce need for water. Leafmold is part of compost but will give your plants a boost of fertilizer in few months. Just keep leaves away from cuttings stems to avoid rotting before rooting
It really depends on several factors, such as how far into the summer you are and how hardened off the wood is. Also, how hot or cool the air temp has been. It's kind of a catch 22 because in the hotter part of summer, you want the bottle to vent the heat. But the earlier in the summer you take the cutting, the softer it is and less able to withstand moisture loss from its leaves. That's why I recommend never letting the sun hit the bottle and leaving the cap on during the early and mid summer cuttings. Later in the year, as things cool down and wood hardens, you can get away with leaving the lid off and can even have it in more light. So it's really hard to answer your question definitively because of all the variables. My best recommendation for Australia is to take the rose cuttings in mid summer after the wood has begun to firm a little, leave the lid on, and place the whole contraption on the south side of a building where it will get plenty of overhead sky light but absolutely no direct sun. Enjoy your summer, good luck, and have fun!
I've left my propagation pot moist, covered, and out of direct sunlight, but found a mushroom grown super tall. Any tips on preventing that from happening? Thank you for your great video! :)
Can you please explain what you do with the cambium in air layering? I have never heard about it until I started watching these types of videos. I planted heaps of lemon seeds more than a year ago and they all germinated so I planted them each in a bigger planter bag. I'm on the southern hemisphere. NZ. I found out that just because the seeds I planted were from my meyer lemon tree doesn't mean that they will provide meyer lemon fruit and they are still tiny plants. I was told grafting is better and then I also found out about air layering and the air layering gave me a lot of interest. My very tall lime tree is very healthy and has heaps of branches that I can't reach so I am going to get my ladder and air layer heaps of the higher branches.
I have a beautiful climbing rose that actually climbs up into nearby trees. Looks beautiful. I’d like to clone it but I don’t know where to take the cuttings. The stems are not as thick as other roses; and of course, much of them are in the trees. Have you done any videos on propagating this type of rose?
I haven't done videos on that but the technique is the same. You will be working with smaller material so just do what I did here but scale the cutting down. As far as getting into the trees to get a cutting, that's a whole other subject, lol.
I have two bags of shredded Cedar mulch, somewhat course. I'm going to grind it in a blender This should make a good rooting medium, I hope. Comments? Michael
Great video sir! I live in Manitoba, Canada with very cold winters. I took raspberry (floricanes) cuttings and put 2 per pre-soaked 1 gallon pots and so far after a month all appear healthy as all still have leaves. My thought process is to leave in pots for a couple more weeks and than transplant into garden 1 foot apart and cover with flax straw. Question(s): is this the proper way to store over winter or leave in pots, plant in garden than transplant in spring as keeping indoors not an option as 20 pots. As you know raspberry in the rose family.Thanks
Would using a milk jug work? with the frosted white translucent plastic I wonder if it helps break the light up some to prevent direct sun hitting the cutting or does this just block to much light?
I got my rose cuttings whenever my florists have pretty colours arrived 🤣. Not sure what type of weather from the original countries 😅 but mine is sunny and rainy throughout the year ✌🏻. Kinda feel jealous 🥲 for others who can get their cuttings fresh while I have to get mine from florists and who knew how long theirs get cut from the main trees 😅.
You could plant it in ground in the fall, depending on your zone and how well rooted it is. If it's not well rooted yet and you live in an extremely cold location, you may want to give added protection.
Is their anyway you can let us know if the one you took from the bottom made it and how it’s doing or did you just not do anything with it that is so cool I’ve never seen that happen before thanks
I'm a little embarrassed to say that after filming everything I forgot to go back and plant the little bugger. I didn't realize it until days later when I was editing the video. I've been gone a couple days but will go out and see if it's still alive lying there on the ground, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 no problem was just amazing that it grew out of the bottom and was just at aww and would of been a cool thing to see thanks again for all ya do as always very informative and very helpful content thanks mike
Can you root from store bought roses? Say my husband bought a dozen roses for our 25th anniversary and I don't want to part ways with those roses, can I use this process on "bought" roses?
Depends on the plant. Rhododendrons stay in the hoop house for several years until they're in 2 or even 5 gallon pots. The green giants get planted out as 1 gallon. Just depends on how hardy they are.
If I have bakers racks for plants at northeast corner of picture window but hydrangea cuttings dried out last month, should I start roses now at west end to get morning sun?
I really don't like giving cuttings too much, if any, direct sunlight. That being said, if you're rooting them indoors, a little morning sun shouldn't hurt them. The preferred method would be outdoors where they can get much more light and no direct sunlight. That may be tough at this time of year considering it will be getting cooler soon. Indoor might be your best bet.
I have to figure out growing rose's in Georgia's clay soil I'm a 5th Gen from Arizona. And never had a problem growing rose's in Prescott or in Flagstaff but Central Georgia is a different animal.
All right looks awesome I need to get some roses but I really don't like thorns lol course I have about 20 Hercules club trees in my yard or the toothache tree whatever you want to call it and there some crazy thorny trees. And I believe I have honey locust too and that's a mean tree Bush whatever it is
I haven't tried that but it's worth a shot. I'm currently working on a similar video about hydrangea and am learning some good things. I'll give roses a shot.
I have a rose plant that has grown wild. The stems are up to 1 1/2 inches thick and more that 4 meters in length. Any suggestions on propagating from that? It is a beautiful pink rose with 2 shades of pink in the petals. Thank you. I live in Africa BTW and the plant has many roses now in what is the middle of the winter here.
Wow, sounds like an amazing plant. I'd take cuttings exactly as described in the video and proceed the same as with any other rose bush. Those thick trunks might be able to be rooted as hardwood cuttings in winter.
@@MikeKincaid79 Hi thanks for the feedback. Really I did not expect ANY response so kudos to your channel for that. Gained one new signee. What is mazing about the roses is that they stay fresh for up to 10 days just in a glass of tap water. Greetings from Africa.
I don't currently have that video up but I do need to make one for you. I've never tried to root rose cuttings this time of year and bring into the home but I can certainly give it a try and get a video up about it. I'm currently working on a similar video with hydrangea and I think I've got the perfect technique.
I hope you all enjoy this one. I sure had a lot of fun making it! Here's the original rose video with the 8 million views: ruclips.net/user/shortsyUvPF0mIrXE but to be honest, I think we hit a lot more detail in shorter time in this video that I just posted, and cleaned up the process a bit. Enjoy!

Rooting your own and pruning into a Rose Tree is extremely easy and beats the #$%& out of commercial rose tree prices!!

OK. So here's a funny story. I've tried about a dozen different ways to root roses... hormone powder, liquid, commercial, and homemade. Aloe. Cinnamon. Swearing. Begging. Crying salty tears.

That’s great! It’s all due to your persistence and not giving up. Glad it’s coming together for you.
Always great rooting success tips, so I always save them for reference. Thanks Mike.
Thanks Darla. I love that you can refer back to these when needed.
I love your videos. Especially the rose rooting ones. I am trying over and over again to root roses. Thanks for the amazing info.

Your success propagating roses is astounding. And the technique is SO transferable to other species. At least it has been for me.
That rose growing out the drainage hole though…Daggum! Talk about overflowing success! Haha. (Makes me curios if roses can be propagated by root cuttings 🤔)
I always love seeing your comments. They put a smile on my face.
thank you for referring me to this page. I shall be trying it and can't wait to update you on my "success or failure " for the first time. My question is, with my northern winters being as cold as they are, would I need to cover them with extra covering in my small unheated hoop house?
It's hard for me to give direction for every climate but in general, rooted cuttings are as tough as the parent plant. Here's a playlist of videos about overwintering rooted cuttings: ruclips.net/p/PLpmpssr45yfMtl3yav-vy1qGsTDdTVWSl
Thank you so much for this video, I am just off to the green house to give it a try. fingers crossed.
Good luck and have fun, Eszter!
You're best planters what wonderful and beautiful plants, let more roses in red, pink and white as lovely, good job, Mike and I love your beautiful cat 🐈 😉👋👍🌷🪴
The new cats are turning out to be good mousers so far.
I love this video, and the rose, so much I really must have missed somewhere in another video or I forgot,I'm old you know, anyway THANK YOU❣️LOVE TO ALL THE GIRLS💞🥰💖
Thanks Glenda, I had a lot of fun making this one! The girls say hi!
Great content. Patience is difficult to master. You do it so well. Thank you again
That’s it! Patience is the key. Thanks for the kind words.
Wonderful job
Thank you!
Love this video! Have you ever had success propagating roses directly in the ground where you want them to grow? Is there a benefit to starting them in pots? Thanks in advance!
I haven't tried that with roses. I suppose it would work but I'd make sure to block them from direct sun or they'll cook with a plastic bottle over them. You could try hardwood cuttings in the winter and then you can not use the plastic bottle, but you'd want them in full sun to warm the soil.
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you for the advice! You had such success that I think I’ll do it exactly as you did with my Mr. Lincolns.
Thanks Mike are another awesome video 👊
Another great video!
Thanks Mike! You rock! When do you repot the cutting out of the one gallon?
Very good, enthusiastic, and informative video. I propagate many indoor and outdoor plants to give as gifts but never took on a rose. My question to you is this-is there is some type of shortcoming to a rose not having a proper crown? I just took clippings here in Washinton state on 9/9 and probably started too late, but we'll see. I only had peat moss as a medium on hand but did use a rooting hormone.
It’s definitely getting cooler here. I’d put it on bottom heat to encourage root growth.
New to your channel. It is very exciting to see these cuttings grow. Very Inspiring. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Ginger!
I am going to be trying my hand at cuttings here very soon and your videos make me think I can! Some questions: 1. How often should I water the cuttings? 2. I want to eventually transfer them into pots, probably the ones that are like small barrels, and I want to know how (and when) is best to do that, and then how often should I be watering them then. I am a chronic over and underwater-er. I haven't found my goldilocks level yet.
The watering issue can be solved by using a well draining material. Then you can water every day almost and not have a problem.
@@MikeKincaid79 great! What would be your recommendation for material?
It's been interesting n very much helpful watching your videos. In August I made my rose cutting n placed them inside a bottle greenhouse, they started budding nicely I now placed them out of the cap and I noticed they are withering and turning black. Where have I gone wrong?
If they started wilting as soon as you took them out of the container then it sounds like they didn't have enough roots to support the new growth yet and maybe pulled the bottle off too soon. Either that or they just needed a longer acclimation period.
Ey m8! I always love the time lapse videos. Proper job on the rose, can't believe how healthy the original leaves stayed on the cutting. But now you know I gotta ask about the fir trees on the side of the barn. Those suckers have really taken off!
Yeah, they've grown fast. Some of them died cause they grew so fast and outgrew the pots. I definitely need to get them in the ground this fall or winter.
That’s amazing!!!
It sure is fun Janet!
@@MikeKincaid79 I have beautiful fragrant roses at my home in Des Moines, WA that were already mature when I moved in 26+ years ago. I have no clue what species they are, but now you’ve inspired me to try and propagate them. I’ll let you know what happens! Thanks again🤠
Hi Mike, enjoying your videos. Once the rose cutting has successfully rooted, how long before the plant has blooms?
Usually I’ll get a bloom the same year, but definitely the following summer.
I love that Rooster nice to hear him Do you think we could see Henry one day He's part of your show now🇨🇦🦩
He's in a few videos. I get him into some more. If you check out my wife's channel, he's in those videos more. bit.ly/3hfX8fk
Love your videos!!!
Awe, thanks so much!
Hi Mike so thank ful to you i like roses but dont know propagation
Thanks! I've got plenty of videos for you to learn from.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
You have a very beautiful cat, Mike.
It is the end of September, seems like it is much too late to attempt propagation of roses. I may give it a shot, though.
Yeah, unfortunately these videos are finished up after the fact. It's getting a little cool to start now but you may have success being in a warmer climate.
@@MikeKincaid79 That Blue Girl rose is a gorgeous color. I have successfully propagated adorable little pink roses from a very hardy “old rose” bush down the road. (A nice older lady allowed me to take cuttings.). But I haven’t been able to propagate from other, more delicate roses.
@@Tina06019 You keep trying and you'll get it. The video color doesn't do the true color justice on the Blue Girl but yes she is a beauty in person.
Cracking video Mike. I was wondering are there types of roses which are easier to propagate then others. I imagine the old English are the easiest rather than the more modern hybrids but perhaps this isn't true? In addition, are there any particular roses which have a reputation for being easy to propagate?
Oddly enough, I'm not a rose afficianado, lol. I know that all the varieties I've tried to root have rooted well with this method. I'm sure that, like rhododendrons, there are some varieties that root better than others, and yes, usually the older varieties root better.
How long do you keep in the pot until you plant in the ground? Wait a year or after the spring after you propagated it?
I prefer to plant in ground in the spring when it comes to smaller plants like this.
@@MikeKincaid79 ty
...I was given a cut rose and now the bloom is fading. Can this stem be rooted after being in water for so long? I also snipped some berry branches and stuck them in the same pot of vermiculite (wet) and covered with a baggie. Do they need peat moss and each to have their own pot? Mike, I am certain you could get a rock to grow roots. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Yes, cut roses can be rooted by cutting. I plan to do a video on this at some point.
Great video. I'm having great success with roses. Rhododendrons, not so much.
I can definitely help with the rhododendrons.
Fantastic video!! Great job :)
Thanks babe!
Great video, thank you! What is the antifungal you mention? It wasn’t in the links. Thank you. 😊

What’s your thoughts on trenching new propagated roses during winter? They have started to root, still very small. Zone7b northeast Georgia
I'm in 5b but preserve my roses by mounding in compost for our harsh winters but mulch will drain quickly so add soil or fallen leaves to reduce need for water. Leafmold is part of compost but will give your plants a boost of fertilizer in few months. Just keep leaves away from cuttings stems to avoid rotting before rooting
@@jodimcmanus5997 thanks. I ended up trenching 2 canes about 10” long & received 5 very healthy rose bushes💐
Mike, have you found a big difference leaving the lid on (in this video) versus leaving it off (the earlier 8m video)? thanks from Australia
It really depends on several factors, such as how far into the summer you are and how hardened off the wood is. Also, how hot or cool the air temp has been. It's kind of a catch 22 because in the hotter part of summer, you want the bottle to vent the heat. But the earlier in the summer you take the cutting, the softer it is and less able to withstand moisture loss from its leaves. That's why I recommend never letting the sun hit the bottle and leaving the cap on during the early and mid summer cuttings. Later in the year, as things cool down and wood hardens, you can get away with leaving the lid off and can even have it in more light. So it's really hard to answer your question definitively because of all the variables. My best recommendation for Australia is to take the rose cuttings in mid summer after the wood has begun to firm a little, leave the lid on, and place the whole contraption on the south side of a building where it will get plenty of overhead sky light but absolutely no direct sun. Enjoy your summer, good luck, and have fun!
Hi Mike, are you using your own compost for your medium? Thank you.
I use finely ground fir tree bark. Here's a video on rooting medium that might help: ruclips.net/video/eLXHy4A4-xk/видео.html
Thanks good info
Right on!
Information 😊 super ❤
What type of soil do you use for roses? Thank you very much for detailed video
Finely ground first tree bark. I have some videos about it. Just type my name and potting soil and you should find them.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you!
I've left my propagation pot moist, covered, and out of direct sunlight, but found a mushroom grown super tall. Any tips on preventing that from happening? Thank you for your great video! :)
It happens and there's nothing wrong with that.
Can you please explain what you do with the cambium in air layering? I have never heard about it until I started watching these types of videos. I planted heaps of lemon seeds more than a year ago and they all germinated so I planted them each in a bigger planter bag. I'm on the southern hemisphere. NZ. I found out that just because the seeds I planted were from my meyer lemon tree doesn't mean that they will provide meyer lemon fruit and they are still tiny plants. I was told grafting is better and then I also found out about air layering and the air layering gave me a lot of interest. My very tall lime tree is very healthy and has heaps of branches that I can't reach so I am going to get my ladder and air layer heaps of the higher branches.
GREAT episode to this series. Thanks for making these. Big inspiration to my content too. Thanks Mike!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a beautiful climbing rose that actually climbs up into nearby trees. Looks beautiful. I’d like to clone it but I don’t know where to take the cuttings. The stems are not as thick as other roses; and of course, much of them are in the trees. Have you done any videos on propagating this type of rose?
I haven't done videos on that but the technique is the same. You will be working with smaller material so just do what I did here but scale the cutting down. As far as getting into the trees to get a cutting, that's a whole other subject, lol.
Thank you.
I have two bags of shredded Cedar mulch, somewhat course. I'm going to grind it in a blender This should make a good rooting medium, I hope. Comments? Michael
If you can find fir mulch, that might be better. Cedar has chemical compounds in it that suppress the growth of other plants.
Great video sir! I live in Manitoba, Canada with very cold winters. I took raspberry (floricanes) cuttings and put 2 per pre-soaked 1 gallon pots and so far after a month all appear healthy as all still have leaves. My thought process is to leave in pots for a couple more weeks and than transplant into garden 1 foot apart and cover with flax straw. Question(s): is this the proper way to store over winter or leave in pots, plant in garden than transplant in spring as keeping indoors not an option as 20 pots. As you know raspberry in the rose family.Thanks
I answered back on the other video. Thanks for the question.
I can,t find fine shreded fir bark anywhere.Where do you get yours?
Local landscape supply business.
Would using a milk jug work? with the frosted white translucent plastic I wonder if it helps break the light up some to prevent direct sun hitting the cutting or does this just block to much light?
That will work very well but it will still heat up too much in direct sun. I'd keep them in shade.
I got my rose cuttings whenever my florists have pretty colours arrived 🤣. Not sure what type of weather from the original countries 😅 but mine is sunny and rainy throughout the year ✌🏻.
Kinda feel jealous 🥲 for others who can get their cuttings fresh while I have to get mine from florists and who knew how long theirs get cut from the main trees 😅.
I hear ya, but once you get some roots, you then have your own plants to take cuttings from!
Would you plant that rose into the ground in fall, or protect it all the way til spring?
You could plant it in ground in the fall, depending on your zone and how well rooted it is. If it's not well rooted yet and you live in an extremely cold location, you may want to give added protection.
Is their anyway you can let us know if the one you took from the bottom made it and how it’s doing or did you just not do anything with it that is so cool I’ve never seen that happen before thanks
I'm a little embarrassed to say that after filming everything I forgot to go back and plant the little bugger. I didn't realize it until days later when I was editing the video. I've been gone a couple days but will go out and see if it's still alive lying there on the ground, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 no problem was just amazing that it grew out of the bottom and was just at aww and would of been a cool thing to see thanks again for all ya do as always very informative and very helpful content thanks mike
Can you root from store bought roses? Say my husband bought a dozen roses for our 25th anniversary and I don't want to part ways with those roses, can I use this process on "bought" roses?
Absolutely! Go save your anniversary roses.
What is the recipe for the potting mix please? So cool!
It's just finely ground fir tree bark.
How long do you usually continue potting up plants or keeping them in a pot before planting them outside?
Depends on the plant. Rhododendrons stay in the hoop house for several years until they're in 2 or even 5 gallon pots. The green giants get planted out as 1 gallon. Just depends on how hardy they are.
If I have bakers racks for plants at northeast corner of picture window but hydrangea cuttings dried out last month, should I start roses now at west end to get morning sun?
I really don't like giving cuttings too much, if any, direct sunlight. That being said, if you're rooting them indoors, a little morning sun shouldn't hurt them. The preferred method would be outdoors where they can get much more light and no direct sunlight. That may be tough at this time of year considering it will be getting cooler soon. Indoor might be your best bet.
Could you please explain to me what your growing medium is. What is it make up ?
It’s finely ground fir tree bark, a plentiful resource in my area due to the logging industry.
I have to figure out growing rose's in Georgia's clay soil I'm a 5th Gen from Arizona. And never had a problem growing rose's in Prescott or in Flagstaff but Central Georgia is a different animal.
I'm sure there's a learning curve going to new soil and humidity levels.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank's hopefully i don't break the bank in the meanwhile lol.
All right looks awesome I need to get some roses but I really don't like thorns lol course I have about 20 Hercules club trees in my yard or the toothache tree whatever you want to call it and there some crazy thorny trees. And I believe I have honey locust too and that's a mean tree Bush whatever it is
Sounds like uninviting country, lol. I hate thorns too and the roses are the only thing with thorns I have around here, other than wild blackberries.
@@MikeKincaid79 well that Hercules toothache tree or whatever is handy when you have a toothache.
How does one take care of climbing rose bushes. Would appreciate any help.
In the winter, you can prune them to shape how you desire or cut them back to within a foot of the ground.
Two of my rose cuttings are turning black. And others have fungus buildup at the top. Will the fungicide help at this point?
I might be too late, but just remember that the black isn't always fungus. If the cuttings still look healthy then give them more time.
@@MikeKincaid79 ok thank you!!!!
Mike,
It's the last of September and need to know if you can use this method under a grow light
I haven't tried that but it's worth a shot. I'm currently working on a similar video about hydrangea and am learning some good things. I'll give roses a shot.
I have a rose plant that has grown wild. The stems are up to 1 1/2 inches thick and more that 4 meters in length. Any suggestions on propagating from that? It is a beautiful pink rose with 2 shades of pink in the petals. Thank you. I live in Africa BTW and the plant has many roses now in what is the middle of the winter here.
Wow, sounds like an amazing plant. I'd take cuttings exactly as described in the video and proceed the same as with any other rose bush. Those thick trunks might be able to be rooted as hardwood cuttings in winter.
@@MikeKincaid79 Hi thanks for the feedback. Really I did not expect ANY response so kudos to your channel for that. Gained one new signee. What is mazing about the roses is that they stay fresh for up to 10 days just in a glass of tap water. Greetings from Africa.
Do you have a video on how you made the hoop house? I want to make one but have no idea how to make it and control the temperature inside.
Also, can I propagate roses right now? Do I bring it inside the house for the winter? I’m in SLC, Utah.
I don't currently have that video up but I do need to make one for you. I've never tried to root rose cuttings this time of year and bring into the home but I can certainly give it a try and get a video up about it. I'm currently working on a similar video with hydrangea and I think I've got the perfect technique.
Hi Mike can you propagate almond tree from cuttings? Can you give us some advice pls.
I want to get more into fruit and nut tree propagation. I’ve got some ideas for future videos.
When doing air layering do you use moss, soil or half of each?
I just use peat moss
Is it still in the bark mulch or is it in soil?
Mulch
Y me puede dar el link del spray que le pone primero donde lo puedo comprar gracias
Henry still exists! 🐓 Is there any video where we can see him? 😆
Yep, he's still hanging around. My wife has him in videos on her channel. Link in the description.
Mike, did you ever try the lilac root cuttings?
I did years ago but I really need to get on that one and film it.
i created two different air plants. i live in southern Ontario Canada and they did not winter. dead in spring. any ideas.
Start them early and get them potted up and in a shed before winter.
Can we use kelp (watering) as an antifungal?
Not sure, I haven't looked into that one.
is river sand good soil to propagate ?
Yes
