Taking Cuttings

... "Bob" wrote in message ... Question: I understand that you cannot take cuttings from all rose plants. Does anyone know anything about the climbers, "Don Juan and Joseph's Coat?" I won't cut them back until after Thanksgiving and that's when I take my cuttings. I have not tried these two yet. Any thoughts? 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. I took a cutting from a hard-to-find OGR years ago. The "daughter" plant is now larger than the "mom". I'm about to take more cuttings since I'm moving and I doubt I'll be able to find this particular rose again. I've been less successful with some other OGRs, very successful with rambler Red Cascade. The key really is roses that grow on their own roots vs roses that are grafted. The former are more likely to be successful, all else being equal. The American Rose Society has several good articles on propagating roses through hardwood cuttings: www.ars.org You have to hunt a bit to find the Articles link. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |
