Propagate Roses from a Bouquet

It's easy to root roses from stems in a bouquet following the semi-hardwood technique - but there are a few disadvantages compared to propagating from roses in your own landscape. I'll review the semi-hardwood technique in this video and also discuss some of the challenges of using cut flowers as your "mother" material.

If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out:

In 1951 when I was born my mother was given a bunch of pink roses. My grandmother managed to take a cutting and establish it. That rambler grew at the back of their house for 18 years and when they retired was transplanted and flourished . In 1986 my mother established a cutting for our house which flourished . Since then I have taken cuttings that have established themselves at my daughters house, our home in France and our new house.. My grandmother obviously picked the best one in the bouquet because it has given rise to at least 10 offspring.

When my Uncle died, a friend of my Aunt asked if he could take a few roses from his grave! Her grandson was angry, but I told the man to take any that he wanted. I just knew. That man propagated roses from those flower, and he brought beautiful rose bushes. He taught her how to tend to them. It was beautiful!

Someone threw a cut rose from a bouquet over my back fence into a compost heap. I now have large pink scented rose rambling through my garden

I don't usually leave positive comments on videos because most of them have too much rubbish talk, this one video is what all videos should be like, straight to the point, no bull crap talk

So many rose cutting videos out there and your the only one who tells and shows you where to cut your stems. Great informational video thanks.

My husband bought me beautiful roses for Mother’s Day this year and I’m currently attempting to propagate them. It would be great if they grow so I could say every year that these were the roses he bought me, alive and well. I don’t have high hopes but it would be wonderful. Thank you for the knowledge to maybe make it work out.

This is GREAT!!! Nice close ups and getting to the point without a lot of unnecessary jargon. Thank you!!

This is the most detailed video on rose cuttings I've ever seen. And now I'm thinking of all the rose bushes growing in the neighborhood (even wild ones!) I want to grow! They had a - belated - celebration for Mother's day at my kid's kindergarten and gave to each mom, a rose. So I thought to search just in case I could propagate it and keep it. Thanks!

Just attempted to propagate multiple cuttings last night for the second time from a rose that my great grandmother owned... did NOT know where to cut OR that i needed to sterilize my tools. Thankfully, I found your video today so the remaining cuttings will have a chance. I also had never considered rose types may have patents. Excellent video- Thank you SO much!

2:07 elongated bud, no good
3:25 soft, spange cutting no good
3:57 top, semi-leaves, no good

To repeat the comments below ; Thank you for concise and "jargon free" advice. It's good to know that this video is actually from an expert, so can trust the advice and pointers given. Please keep making them. :)

I agree with the other comments. This video is the best I've watched so many over the years and gave up on propagating a rose bush from cutting due to lack of detail that you provided. Im so excited i cannot wait to have my own rose bushes from my favorite bushes. 🎉🎉🎉

Thankyou your step by step was so helpful I have watched and wasted my time on so many of these Propagating videos that my mind is spinning and most of the time they’re useless you gave me excellent advice and confidence to try this myself I really hope this works I will get back to you if they root, but again thank you so much, your video was very helpful especially for a beginner Gardner

[tammygurl]

Thanks for a really great informative video. My daughter sent me a dozen roses in 4 different beautiful colors for Mother's Day and I hope to follow your instructions so I end up with at least one bush out of it. Thanks again!

[sometimesiwander]

I love ur videos! Thx so much for sharing ur knowledge with the world. It’s very generous & much appreciated by this gardener in particular.

[rooniemag]

Thanks for making this! I got a few roses that I wanted to grow from a store, and even though it seems to be too late now, I’ll actually know what to do next time

[jelenagnjatov]

Hi, Jason! First roots and shoots from a cutting of the Bouquet Rose are here, with a bit help of Rooting Powder. Many thanks for your videos! Best regards from Vienna 🌹

[marciafischbeck]

I am loving your channel! So far I'm going to try this on my Russian sage and a mystery plant that I want more of. Thanks for the info.
