Pull rose cuttings in place
If you would like to have more of your favorite roses in the garden, simply propagate them yourself using cuttings, preferably in the space provided. It's easier than you think.
When you create a rose hedge in the garden or certain ones Roses by the dozen, it can get quite expensive. The vegetative propagation via cuttings is little work and costs nothing. All you need is a little patience before your newfound roses bloom for the first time.
Growing roses from cuttings - nothing easier than that
- It works best with propagation via cuttings or cuttings with wild roses, old roses, Ground cover-Roses, rambler roses, climbing roses and shrub roses. Start propagating in the spring before budding. You don't have to remove any unnecessary foliage, the soil is still well moist and warms up quickly.
- From the mother plant, cut cuttings about 20 centimeters long from strong annual shoots with two to three leaf bases.
- Put the cuttings in well-moist soil at the point where the rose should also be later, so deep that the upper end protrudes about five centimeters from the soil. The top of the leaf should still be visible.
- When pinning, consider the size of the rose and pay attention to the appropriate distance to the neighboring plants. Shrub roses work better in groups, which is why you can place three to four cuttings close together here. You can also place the cuttings closer together in a rose hedge. For closed hedges, place the cuttings in two rows staggered at a distance of 30 to 40 centimeters.
- Put a clean, sufficiently large glass without a label over each cutting. Large cucumber jars, for example, are well suited.
- If you are propagating different varieties at the same time, put name tags on them so that you can later remember where you planted which rose.
- Now it's time to wait. By autumn the cuttings should have developed so much foliage that it is slowly becoming too tight in the glass. Now remove the protective hood.

This is how you can continue to care for your offspring
- With piles and a cover made of spruce twigs, you can bring your rose children through the winter so that they can really get started in the following year.
- If the new roses should get another place, you can transplant them to their final location next spring.
- Depending on the variety and vigor, you can expect the first flowers after two to three years.
You can also use an empty bed for first attempts with rose cuttings. There you have a better view of your protégés. Since failures are always to be expected, the additional cultivation in a separate bed is recommended whenever you need a large number of plants. Any gaps, for example in a hedge, can then be easily closed with the replacement plants.
