What is the best way to root cuttings from a rose bush?
I came across a landscaper where I work who was clipping the rose bushes around the building. I picked up a nice cutting immediately after he clipped it and have had it in water since. After a week, it still appears to be alive.
Rooting Rose Cuttings
Reprinted From “Gold Coast Roses,” October, 2002
* First Method: Take a 12” stem with the just-bloomed rose removed. We are told to use softwood cuttings in summer, hardwood in winter. The cutting should have 4 to 6 leaf sets.
Remove all but the top two leaf sets. Cut the stem just ABOVE the top leaf set, and just BELOW the bottom eye. For best results, take the cutting from right where the stem joins the cane, as the cells there are different — but this isn’t always possible. With a razor blade or sharp knife, cut into the bottom of the stem, quartering it. Go up at least a half-inch. Some shave off bark for an inch on either side of the cutting, near the bottom. You can dip the cane in rooting hormone. Make a hole in the medium, so the hormone isn’t wiped away. Insert cutting.
The medium varies. Old-timers recommend sticking the cutting into the soil near the “mother plant.” Any friable soil will do, and you can use very coarse builder’s sand. Potting soil is adequate. Some spray the bed with a fungicide to prevent mildew and blackspot. Do not overwater, as the cuttings may rot. You can put a large glass container over the cutting, or add a plastic cover.
* A far-out method worked here. Prepare a half-dozen cuttings. Use no rooting hormone. Place the cuttings in a zip-top bag, with wet newspapers squeezed into balls. (Use 3 or 4 balls.) Use NO medium. Flatten the bag, to remove most of the air, then seal it. Keep in refrigerator until the slips appear to callus. This might take a month. When callus, or white roots form, remove the cuttings and plant in good soil, or kitty litter.
* The journal of England’s Royal Horticultural Society wrote up a method: Take cuttings from healthy young bushes. Here, July or September would be fine. Prepare as usual. The rooting medium is sand, loam, and peat moss, in proportions of 3-1-1. Place a 4” pot inside a 6” pot Add pebbles or broken clay pot parts for one inch under the 4-in. pot.
There will be 1 in of space all around the outside of the smaller pot. Fill that space with the medium, and wet well. Insert cuttings in this space. Place in a cool, shady spot, or in a plastic bag. Roots should form in 6 to 8 weeks. When cuttings are well-rooted, remove the inner pot, and plant in the ground.
* The simplest method, which has met with mixed success, is to cut a rose in full and glorious bloom. Leave it in water, to enjoy it. When the bloom fades, cut it off, and leave the stem in the water. This worked for our grandmothers.

It can take anywhere from ten days to four months for a cutting to root, depending on the method you use, the time of year, and the quality and variety of cuttings.
