cuttings
I took some semi-ripe cuttings of different shrubs about 4 weeks ago and put them in pots filled with a recommended cuttings mixture. I put them first in polythene bags and then, when they showed signs of growth, into my coldframe. All are surviving and appear to be healthy , but if I dig any out of the pots, I can't see any roots.
How much root growth should be visible before I move the cuttings into individual pots? I guess there must be fine root hairs, which maybe I cant see, but I am not sure. If I leave them as they are until spring, are they likely to survive as the compost does not contain much in the way of nutrients. |

I need to trim my roses; I've been thinking about trying to root some of
the trimmings from my favorite two roses (which I think are on their own roots). Do they root pretty easy this time of year? Along the same lines, has anyone ever rooted the stems from florist roses once the blooms fade? Bob |

Bob A lot of bred oses don't make good roots and have to be grafted onto root stock. |
