Professional Grower Exposes Fake Rose Propagation Videos 

If you're wondering "why" these fake videos are even made, here's my follow-up video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ksk1Orbi-Zk.html

As a Professional grower you have done the best thing to the community in exposing the fake RU-vidrs!! Thanks a lot .

The Internet has been turned into garbage

I hate to think of all the poor people actually trying to grow roses this way! Thank you for your video.

Thank you Jason for exposing the propagndas. It's not easy to grow anything. It takes time and effort. Some seeds even need stratification. Huge thank you.

As a gardener of over 40 years Im ashamed to say I fell for one of these videos and saved it to my Gardening library ! ahahahaha. Thanks for taking time to expose these

Jason, you are so brilliant! This could be what it takes to expose these terrible creators with no ethics and disgusting tactics. These type of videos are so damaging to inexperienced people. Maybe this video will prompt other creators to do the same. Lead on Jason! Thank you.❤

At last, someone speaks up. I've been noticing these kind of videos with million views lately. Some plants are even named wrongly, which simply means the person isn't as knowledgeable as they appear to be. Kudos to you for bringing this up. 👏

Thank you for exposing these fakes. There are just too many of them out there.

An eye opener.Its terribly sad how a fake process is highlighted so neatly.those guys shouldn't be allowed to upload their fake videos.Thanks to this person who had saved our precious time and. money as well.

Fake flower propagations are polluting RU-vid nowadays. I'm a passionate rose gardener and don't pretend to know everything about roses, but I do know that patience is a good gardener's quality. Just to let you know Jason that I followed your propagation tips, and I've been fairly successful with some of my favorite roses by buying good root stimulators, cleaning and disinfecting the clipper and pot, and protecting the propagated stems from harsh temperature. Thank you for your help.🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just last night I was doing my research on the best way to propagate roses (its that time of the year), saw some pretty wacky / unbelievable stuff, took notes though. However I settled on the advice of a REPUTABLE grower here in the UK, Harkness roses, for example, and they just talked common sense. Well between you, you've saved me a banana or two!

Thank you Jason, I have been noticing many channels recently posted some kind of amazing and incredible videos, not only just limited to rose plants. All these gardeners look more like a magician than a trusted gardener. A lot of audiences trusted them just like trust GOD, that's really funny and incredible. I usually doubt and leave comments to suspect the results, but kind of I am too weak. I have my RU-vid garden channel and grow slowly, but I guaranteed I never fool my audiences, even though some results are not perfect but it is real. One of the reasons I created my channel is I was once fooled and cheated by many channels. Another thing I remembered that you once mentioned is RU-vid will not show thumb down in order to encourage creators, that's really funny decision! On the one hand it encourage these fake videos. I think all of us should stand together to report this to RU-vid to give warning or ban these RU-vid channels.

You are one of the authentic youtubers who try to fight fake news. Thank you for your wonderful contents that are helping me in my adventure of raising roses.

As a person who has a small RU-vid channel about gardening the fact that people are knowingly doing this is heartbreaking. There is so much real content that can be made that we never have to lie to get views.

Thank you so much for exposing these fake videos, I for one am really grateful to you for the information. I was actually fooled by them and was almost tempted to try out some of the tips, but within seconds I saw your post and realise how easy it is to be scammed into something that looked so authentic. I'm so impressed by your calm and peaceful response to these postings, I've actually subscribed to your channel. Thank you again.

Thank you, I really appreciate you clearing up a bunch. It definitely is frustrating that these people don't want to be honest and are misleading people.

Thanks for calling them out! I think the most disappointing thing about those fake videos is it wouldn’t be any more difficult to propagate plants ‘properly’ in the conventional manner and then you would actually be successful. Bananas and potatoes are not needed to propagate plants! 😂

Thank you for your candor, Jason. I used to be in the nursery business in Texas, and I think many people fall prey to these incredible claims because they simply want an easy, fast fix. They don't have the patience it requires to be a gardener.

I was falling for those videos, thank you so much!

Thank you for this information I just watched one of those fake videos and then yours popped up, never to old to learn something.

I had just seen the 3rd example you showed here and thought it was likely nonsense but had not considered it was completely - intentionally - fake. Thanks for clearing this up and look forward to the next one.

THANK YOU! I just saw the rose banana one last night and had big doubts of the validity of the method.

I can't tell how much I appreciate finding this video. I'm trying to grow from cuttings and I saw some of those fake videos.

Appreciate you sharing this information so that people are not misled and disheartened with gardening.

Jason, thank you very for educating amateur gardeners who are falling prey to these fake videos.

Thank you so much, Jason. I commend you for your expertise, honesty and polite attitude. I am a hobbyist gardener who enjoyed cutting propagation of many types of plants including roses. I resented all those videos so much and was looking forward for some professional like you to expose all this nonsense, preventing more fellow-gardeners from disappointment. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up with the good work!

Thank you Jason! I have been tending a rose garden for decades and had recently seen one of these goofy videos. I was so puzzled, couldn't understand what I was seeing and thought wow I must be ready for the glue factory. What a good thing you do here. I love the way you have gently yet firmly and methodically offered informative correction for the good of all. I hope many people see your work. Yay and Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to expose those videos, I have personally been air- layering my fig trees, not for profit but to share with my close friends and family. A member of my family brought to my attention those videos to “do a faster way” I only wasted 20 minutes of my time on one of those videos, every time we click on those videos they reach a higher number of viewers and that’s when they start making money from it . And thank you for sharing your knowledge of propagation of roses!!

When is about roses, your channel and Rosegeek are the videos to watch. A rose won't grow in 18 days, patience is a virtue a gardener needs to have to propagate any plant. Thank you so much for your honesty.

Thanks for outing these frauds for what they are. Finding authoritative sources for plant propagation is crucial. Thank you for being willing to share your knowledge and curiosity.

Thank you for this video. I recently watched some of these videos on propagating begonias and a potato was used to create this wonderful new plant with strong healthy roots. As a master gardener I was immediately struck by some of the oddities of the process. There were flowers growing out of the leaf cutting but no sign of any new leaf buds or leaf decay. Most gardeners know that the cutting will work on the development of roots, leaves and lastly flower blooms. I was also curious as to where the potato went. The leaf was in perfect condition after being buried in the dirt for 45 days yet no trace of a potato was to be seen. 🤔 🤔 You are a pearl in a sea of deception. I really appreciate you taking the time to expose these sites.

Thank you for taking your time to share this ❤

Thank You for walking us thru this! One of those vids popped up on my homescreen but I thought it seemed ‘suspect’ - Luckily I’ve been better schooled by you, Jim Putnam, Erin the Impatient Gardener, and Yuliya at Y Garden - I think you’re all great and I’ve learned so much - in my first year of gardening ☺️🌹

Thank you for the information. I really thought what they’re posting is really true. Couldn’t believe how they’re deceiving the public. Please expose more of these crooks. Thanks.

Thank you Jason. I am sure professionalism has helped many viewers like myself. You're now on my subscribed list.

Thank you for clearing this up . Some of these are so bazaar!

If I want to learn about roses and other info, I only watch your videos. I know there is just facts and truths. I don’t have time for all the other junk and misinformation! You are truly an exemplary, no nonsense, stand-up example of what these other videos need to understand! Don’t you leave us…ever! I sure appreciate you! 💕

I liked your video before I even watched. These videos you mention have been popping up in my feed over the past few days and they looked very suspect to me. I didn't bother to click them and give them the benefit of my view. Thank you for doing this. And yes, taking away the thumbs down count was a TERRIBLE decision on the part of YT.

I watched some of these out of curiosity, but saw that the "results" of sprouts and roots did not follow what I've observed in nature, so thanks for breaking it down in detail. Much easier to spot the fake plays now.

I have been watching these "fake rose propagation videos" and had my doubts, came through your video and thanks for explaining and showing the reality. greatly appreciate.

Your very best tip Jason , has made my life much easier as I am growing older (85). For years I have been growing "Screwdriver Roses", (Self explanatory). Your tip to make 4 holes at a time with a 4 pronged fork and stick the cuttings in has increased production X 100 !

Thank you for giving us the real facts here whilst keeping composure and staying polite. Very much appreciated.

Thank you for being one of the honest guys. You are not wasting your time cuz many of us appreciate all your time and efforts.

I am so happy someone finally said it. I am no where close to a master gardener but do know a thing or two. So it’s super annoying when people come to me saying they tried this method or that method and it doesn’t work and that all gardeners are somehow “faking” their craft.

Thank you so much for exposing this and helping preserve growers wisdom... respect and honor 💚🌟

Thank you for exposing and explaining these odd videos that stretch the imagination and mislead gardeners.

Thanks for your experienced analyze ! After this video I subscribed and gonna follow your ! It's great to have detailed pro !

I feel so naive! It never occurred to me that any of these videos were faked, but I see the issues you are pointing out. Thank you SO MUCH for this! Going forward, I'll be a little more skeptical.

Wow! Well give these gardeners a kudos that they have joined others giving bogus information! Thanks for the information.

I watched a couple of the "propagation" videos and they're too good to be true! I have been growing seeds and cuttings for more than 60 years

Thank you so much for this video! one of the first videos you reviewed in your video was actually the same video I watched right before watching this one and I fell for it, so thank you so much for clearing that for me. I am very much a beginner and still in the process of learning. I haven't even started planting yet, I want to get as much useful information I can so I don't do anything wrong. I've seen a couple of your videos before this and your videos are very informative and I appreciate that so much. I'm subbing! Sorry for the long message, just wanted to show my appreciation!

I have just watched one of these fake rose videos and was confused as to how utube can allow it.thank goodness for great genuine people like yourself.keep up the good work.

Hi Jason, I'm so glad you decided review these channels! I was recommended by RU-vid two of these videos and was so surprised! I never thought there are such people to fake nature just for the view rating! Thanks very much for making this video and confirming these are fake! Thanks again and happy growing 😀.

Thank you Jason. I am a new gardener who now knows, I am ashamed to say, that I have wasted a lot of time following this fake video information. I will be more careful in future and try to expose the imposters. It is a pity there is not a list of them.

My mom was explaining the aloe method to me. I was like what?!! Sent her your video. Thank you for saving us the frustration!

Thank you very much for your warning on these two channels. I'm a new gardener and just mentally wouldn't handle being lied to and me expecting growth within a few days. Thanx a million! ❤

Thank you for the informative video. Rose community should spread and share this video as an awareness to beginners

Thank you! I’ll share this with my MIL. All you’re info is spot on, appreciate you making this video.

Thank you so much for taking the time to set the record straight for us. There's so much garbage out there. It should be a crime against humanity. Smh

Thank you so much Jason. You are very knowledgable and well educated. You have done a great service to DIY gardeners. Thank you for your honesty.

So glad you just made this! I was going to try some of them and you have saved me time and sadness. I knew it couldnt be that easy lol!

I saw the video of the spent rose buds growing new seedlings and almost believed it! Thanks for debunking the fakes!

Blessings for the kindness and truthfulness 💐🙏💐

So needed this!! Thank you 😊

This is excellent information, thank you! A couple of those "bulbs" with roots coming out of them looked like olives to me. I have so many inexperienced friends that not only don't know, but they unwittingly spread this fake information by sharing on other social platforms. Now I wonder what these people gain from doing this sort of thing.

Thank Goodness, I also did not believe and was sure the roots had been glued on. Thanks!!

Thankyou for revealing all this!!!!!

Thanks Jason, for another great video. I had just watched one of these videos over the weekend and thought it was very interesting. I was going to try this as soon as the flowers were spent. (I live in Florida so I still have roes blooming) I must be naive because I didn't think of these channels as being fake and for going at such lengths to deceive their viewers. Thanks again for the video.

I really appreciate hearing from a reputable person regarding propagation. And also giving us examples of others that are respected in their field. I’ve watched your channel for a long time and have learned a lot, I’ll keep watching.

I saw one of the videos you exposed and I am about to try this coming summer but thank you for exposing these fake videos so won't waste my time 😊.

I’m sticking with your method. I’ve used it and it works. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.😊

So sad! I just think of all the people who wanted to keep a special rose and waste their precious time and material! They may never get to have that special rose, because of youtube's bias. Thank you Jason!!!!

Thank You! These videos have been popping up in my feed, and the "spectacular results" from totally illogical methods has been driving me crazy. I do a lot of gardening myself, and was sure they were fake. The magical flourishes these people do with crazy ingredients is over the top. Snake oil at it's finest! I appreciate you clearing the air, and hope many people see this so they stop giving the dishonest video makers clicks.

Thank you so much Jason. This was very informative.

Thank you for pointing out fake tips!

This Guy is exactly right . Stratification is a very important process to starting seeds . You just cant stick things in the ground and expect them to grow . This can be done but it takes a lot of time and knowledge to do it

I've watched these videos, they are new with millions of views. As a result I collected rose seeds yesterday ! :D Thanks for the debunk.

Thank you for clarifying this!!! Exactly yesterday i saw those kind of videos for the first time in my life and i felt some of them were just impossible but i didnt know for sure! I am so happy that i found and.saw your video today, coz i really trust in you! 👍🏻

Thank you so much for busting out fake video of Rose propagation from bud , petal and seeds! Unfortunately I fell for one of those fake videos, being a rose lover,it was such an easy trap ! I am not so proud of my gullible nature. I really appreciate your help for budding gardeners like me !

Very insightful video regarding fake content on other channels. Thank you!

Thank you for posting this update. I wrote on the original posting that this was not possible and gave all the reasons as to why, including how the compost base which he planted them in along with banana skin had mysteriously changed to garden soil after 20 days!!! I used to own Garden Centres which had their own Nurseries within the grounds where we grew everything we possibly could. I was expecting some sort of rebuff after my lengthy reply but it never came. I was amazed at the amount of views it had received and how all the comments were akin to meeting a Messiah! Anyone with half a brain cell should realise that a banana skin cannot simply disappear after a few weeks, it takes months and that is in the correct conditions with all microbes working away. It disgusts me how these content creators can get away with such obvious lies and deceit to make a few bucks! I bet there were a few even with knowledge who fell for it and gave it a go, but I also hope some decided to research his claims before falling for it. I bet he was laughing his head off knowing so many would give it a shot all for his own satisfaction of making fools out of everyone. Shame on him!

Best gardening video I have seen on RU-vid this year! Excellent analysis. I had seen some of these same faked-out videos earlier and was left scratching my head in disbelief. Thanks for shining some light on their tricks! 🌴🌺🌻🌼🌻🌺🌿

Thanks for exposing these fake videos regarding growing roses. I nearly do it but got these feelings that they are fake. Thanks again.

Thank you for doing this video. I've seen the fake baking/desert videos and thought it was shameful that anyone would lie in such a way. I appreciate that you were able to shine a light on this kind of nonsense.

Thanks so much for these videos exposing the fakers! Please don’t stop!! I’ve been watching them and did find them hard to believe! Please do more on the orchids too. Again, thanks!!

I think everyone loves the "fake" videos because it looks SO EASY until they try them. I almost fell for it UNTIL I saw your video. I want to get some cuttings started from my sister's roses, but have no idea how to do it. Thanks so much for telling me how it is out there. Never can trust a video on starting plants by watching all the crazies out there. I think youtube falls short on a lot of videos I have seen out there. You just can't trust them all.

That's so right , thank you so much for getting everything clear ❤️🌹

OK show us how it's done??? I would love to make more roses. Senior citizen here. I have the time in the patience. Show me how it's done so I may have more roses. Thank you.

It's funny one of these videos popped up on my feed and I was that just crazy. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much. I have been watching these videos to learn to grow roots on a stream with new shoots...I knew it's not that easy.

Thank you so much for doing these videos and exposing the fakes ❤.

So glad to see people actually proving these fakes and hopefully taking down their lies and sites. It's sickening that so many, sometimes dangerous fakes are out there. Thanks for helping tell the truth!

I instantly love this guy. I have been propagating aaaaaalll kinds of stuff just for the fun it. It’s only been a little chunk of years, but has still brought a decent amount of experience with a pretty wide range of species. It’s a calling i didn’t realize i was hearing. These “magic” growing videos have been popping up like crazy more and more. I’m still learning about plants and curious, so I’ve fed into some of these views. But as interesting as they kind of seem they might be, they are just as confusing. Potatoes/bananas/chunks of aloe constantly make an appearance, but their results & samples never seem to match themselves, or anything I’ve experienced. When you prop mostly everything in just glass, water, & light, you get a good idea of how much stuff you are NOT using or doing. I don’t use powders. You also get an active view of growth speed & shape of the various parts, especially the roots. My rose cuttings have never developed thick stubby fingers like my epiphytic stuff. These videos give off red flags, and yet the false confidence is enough to buy my curiosity as an amateur. It’s awesome to find a pro rose guy voicing my concerns with these. Thank you for getting this out there. It’s very reaffirming of what I’ve been working toward.

Thanks so much. We have to be sceptical of some of these videos

Thank you for explanation i saw this video and it's weird that people see it as true!!

Thanks for the heads up. I watch these videos being curious but what you see is hard to believe. Being I have propagated many roses over the years. I hate fake stuff!

Just come across your channel today. I have watched Mike Kincaid videos and some other channels about propagation. You now have a new subscriber.

Thank you for this information. I had JUST started watching those kinds of videos and wondered, "Can it really be this easy?". I am a long time subscriber of Mike Kincaid. Glad you mentioned him.

Thank you for this video! The Japanese gardeners I've referred to so far don't use bananas, potatoes, or cacti. The world is big, and I am ashamed to be surprised that there is such a method. Thank you for your courageous action.
