Stem Cutting from Roses
Last year a took some stem cuttings from one of my climbing rose (David
Austen variety) . Will the plants be climbers? (or do roses have to be grafted onto stock to make them climb? - Sorry don't understand this business of root stocks) Will the flower be the same as the parent plant? Have tried looking on the net, but can't find anything. Any advice/website address welcome. |

The reason for using rootstocks and budding for roses is mostly commercial, roses from cuttings will often be stronger growing (especially on acid soils) and of course no suckers, but there are roses which are either hard to do from cuttings or grow poorly on their own roots (often yellow varieties) Your roses will have identical flowers to the parent plant. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
