I knew this, but the way they used to do it back in the olden days when they were going to relocate was to take a 6 inch cutting from a healthy mature rose plant, and wrap it in a moist towel until they got where they were going, then they would plant the cutting in the soil and water it and put a mason jar over it (like a mini green house) and go out and water it every day. The cutting would be at least 6" of healthy stem above the main part of the root system with a leaf or two still attached to the top of the cutting. Thanks for the info regarding rooting the cuttin in the potato.  |

I'm going to try this way myself SJ, I've been cutting a piece of stem just below an eye of a bud, dip it in honey and stick it in potting mix...and kept it watered. I've grown rose plants that way but the way you have suggested is sure worth a try, sounds good actually...I'll let you know how it goes but I have to wait till winter is over...  |

I'm going to try it your way, Zema...I'll try it every way I can. Right now I'm growing pineapple tops, and looking forward to the yeild of pineapples in another 18 months. They are really growing well. |
