Propagating roses from cuttings

[Surtsey]

Has anyone had success with growing roses from cuttings? I'm thinking of giving it a go this year, and I think September is supposed to be about the right time for it.

Any tips much appreciated. 🙂

No help, sorry, but following with interest!

No I've tried twice but I am a novice. I am following with interest

What sort of rose? Most garden roses are grafted on other stock so growing a garden rose from a cutting mau be a problem.

I used the advice here and I’ve managed to get a cutting to root and grow leaves this year.

I read an article about it in a gardening magazine a few years ago, so apparently it is possible. I was just wondering whether people had been able to do it, and whether putting them in a pot or in the ground worked best.

Yes lots of success with roses from gardens and bouquets. (Really they are commercial and are licenced but I'm not selling them on)
Usually I cut about a 10" piece that's slightly thinner than a pencil and grew this year.
Cut them just above a thorn at the top and just below a thorn at the bottom.
Strip of all leaves and thorns. Bury most of it in the soil leaving only about 2 inches above ground. I would put them in a deep pot and arrange them close to the edge. Keeping them in a porch or glass house will help bit they're usually fairly hardy. If you really want to make a success of them you could buy some hormone rooting powder to dip them in before planting.

DH managed to a couple of years ago by using the method above but didn't use rooting powder. He did take about 10 cuttings and only one survived though. I think he put them on water for a couple of days.

It was a very old rose bush that he took the cuttings from.

Thanks, I've got some hormone rooting powder somewhere, so I'll give it a try. There's a camellia in the garden I might have a go at as well. In for a penny, in for a pound!

Sorry I meant to say above and below a bud not thorn and strip the stem of leaves except for a few at the very top sticking out if the soil.

I think it should be done in September, into rooting powder , new shoots cut close to main stem .
I did about 8/10 a couple of years ago and 4 survived.
Last year none ?

The reason for grafting roses is more to do with quick propagation of a plant genetically identical to its parent, rather than benefitting from the vigour of the rootstock. My mother, who had dozens of roses, reckoned the ones on their own roots did better.

Hormone rooting powder deteriorates rapidly. I stopped using it because I couldn’t be bothered to buy fresh every year

I've tried growing various roses (and other things) from cuttings. Sometimes works / sometimes doesn't. All it takes is a small amount of time and effort, so it's not as if it costs anything.
There is no downside. Give it a go!
