Default Taking Cuttings
posted ;
" Why not give it a go. Maybe it will work.

My old gardener told me that cuttings will not last
as their root systems are inferior.

I've got two roses grown from cuttings - not
graftings - and both are spectacular.
A few questions from a novice ;
Do you use a root stimulant such as " Rootone "
Do you have a soil/medium soley for cuttings
Do you keep the soil moist and the cutting in full sun ? How
about fertilizer -Dilute ?
Thanks , Don,..
