Propagate Roses from a Bouquet 

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

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!!

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

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.

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!

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!

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 think your channel is brilliant, I’ve recommended to my dad.

It’s rare to find semi-hard stem from bouquet as usually it is soft, i guess it’s a way from producers to stop consumers from propagating...

Have always hated receiving flowers because I have to throw them out at one point or the other. Thankyou for this informational video. Now a good gift can be more than just a fading memory 😃.

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. 🎉🎉🎉

very good info. I love roses and other flowers, but I am on a very tight budget. My husband said we will eat first before flowers. So what I did I go to Walmart and check their plants sales and those that are wilting and dying which I think I can save it by watering it. I bought petunia last October very cheap 75 cents for 4 inch pot, my husband was kind of upset he said its gonna die and a waste of money I told him it will be ok because the roots are good. Well I am right I planted it takes care of it and now its thriving my husband cannot believe he told me I have a green thumb. I will make a video of it by tomorrow. I will try this video I have one rose bush left I will propagate it. Thanks for sharing.

I know that Jason's videos always will be interesting, informative and clear. THANK YOU Jason.

Thank you soo much. This video has taught me what happened. A while ago, I had received a beautiful bouquet for a very special occasion and I cut 2 if the stems and and stuck them in a garden pot with another plant and both of them grew. I had no idea how to care for them. Your channel has been very helpful. Both plants have been transplanted to larger pots and are now about 3' tall. I hope to continue to learn about these beautiful plants and keep them healthy.

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

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

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.

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 🌹

I have just done 8 cuttings this weekend from 2 different roses fingers crossed I should get about 6 and I'm doing couple cuttings from my blue moon this week

Great how-to video. Appreciate your discussion of pros and cons. I didn’t know propagating roses from a bouquet was even viable. Neat! 🌹

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.

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!

Hi! I'm from the Philippines and I'm gonna try this out since i LOVE roses! I hope I'll be successful... thank you so much.... From all the videos I've binge watched yours is the most informative! new subscriber here! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks! Now I’m professional propagating florist in 10 mins! Never thought flowers could be patented or one acquire legal rights. My anxiety, misting, singing to them and hopeful prayers don’t count huh!? 😂

Excellent video with good information, concise and to the point. Many thanks.

Thanks so much for your help I never thought I’d be able to grow a bush so I’m gonna give it a try Thanks again

That is absolutely AMAZING 😍!!! I hope 🤞 it works for me !!! I appreciate you showing where to cut the stems at.

I really appreciate you mentioning the legal rights over some plants and that we should respect that, not many people think about it. I love your videos, very well made! :)

Awsome info. Regarding bouquet roses, I only eve graft them to Dr. Huey to be part of a picking garden. In any other instance I’d prefer own root roses, but I don’t trust the disease resistance of bouquet roses. Roses from bouquets were breed for that (picking, blossom lifespan). But as part of a picking garden, bouquet roses are top notch and many of these varieties can’t easily be obtained any other way than cutting/rooting and grafting from bouquets.

You do such a great job explaining things.

Very honest and practical advice,thank you Sir

Thankyou very much for this lesson.... very interesting.....greetings from England uk.

lol,,,,,,this video is what i looking for, i asked about this propagate technique on your past cutting propagate video. Thank you sir, very very very helpful.

Thank you this is so timely. I was just thinking of doing this

Best close-ups of nodes being clipped ever! Thank you so much! My question: I see you planting several stems in one pot. When can you repot them? Is it difficult to separate them? Do you have a video on this? I always wondered why I had such a black thumb... now, watching videos like this, my thumb is getting greener and greener!

Thank you for this video, very informative. I am excited to try this soon.

Learned more from your videos than any others, especially highlighting the scam vids of propagating from buds etc! In the UK and trying some bouquet roses. QUESTION: “3-4 weeks to root”, so how many weeks/months till a new plant will be fully established and producing its own flowers? 🤞 Thank you for passing on your knowledge.

Thankyou for the upload, very informative and easy to understand instructions. I am eager to see if the works just for fun. Fingers crossed. :)

Great video, I subscribed. I have watched your videos time to time, but never about subscribing. Thank you telling and showing how to take good cutting and regrow roses. Right to the point and not all that talking about this and c that over and over again.❤

I was given a rose from a customer of mine 2 weeks ago and found new growth on the leaf nodes. I’ve never grown roses from seed or propagation but I’d like to try just to see if I can do it! I’ve had great success with propagating other plant varieties so wish me luck!!

I have had no luck with my cuttings but your method seems a little different to others. Will definitely give it a try. I think maybe my issue has been over watering as I get a lot of rot. Going to try the mist.

Excellent informative video jason. Could you do a video on set up on how to propagate with an automated misting system. Thank you jason.

I can't propagate my roses but I do preserve them by drying them up side down. They are beautiful in vases for years.

Great video, answering all the questions I had and more! Including where to cut, tool sterilization, to tent or not to tent, etc. Subscribed!

Very informative on growing roses, thank you a lot!!!

great video... very useful, interesting information... thank you!!

Thank-you lots of good expert info for the beginner.

It add more knowledge in propagation..great help for me..thanks for rhie video

Thankyou for the video. I have learned alot. I never knew about patented roses.

So I followed your method on how to cut. 2 out of 4 are doing well. thanks!

You have taught me so much. Thank you for your knowledge. I'm a new subscriber to your channel.

It would have been nice to see some results both with roots and better yet with flowers. The video is informative, anyway.

Most informative video ever!! Is Spring the best time for planting slips or is anytime of the year ok? Tx 😎

Well done. Informative and well presented. Thank you.

Oh wow thank you! I was wondering how to do this. :)

I always learn something new from you. Thanks so much!

Very informative! One thing I don't think you mentioned, was zones. I'm in zone 3, and I would be hesitant to try to propagate from a bouquet, especially if I didn't know what zone it was grown in. Maybe the florist would have the info on what kind of rose or where it was grown.

Thank you very much for the videos, very informative, will try to do in coming week

What a great video-especially the close-ups ❤

Super informative and succint, thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for this video!! I am going to try with a clipping from a bouquet rose. I figure it doesn’t hurt to try lol! All of my plants are outgrowing my house and have managed to propagate every one of them. I like a challenge 😂😊

Hi first thank you for producing great videos. My father planted roses in the family garden some 50-55years ago. A couple of them produce the most amazing fragrance and are around 5 feet high. I tried take cuttings from these but they failed. Now I think I understand why. I wanted the cuttings because when I sell the house I fear that trying to transplant them would kill them which would be awful because as I said they have the most amazing fragrance. Also I can't seem to identify the roses. Again you've produced some great videos thank you.

Very nice Demonstration. Thank you.

Another great video, thanks for sharing your experience. A question: do these same principles apply to propagating mini roses?

Wish you a very Happy New Year 2023! 🌹🎊

Thank you. I really admire and love your videos. Very informative.

"it has to root, and shoot - in that order" - sorry for my fatuosity ;)

Excellent video, thank you

Jason it's funny you say that because the only 2 times I've been successful in Bud Grafting was taking Buds from a Bunch(Bouquet) of Pink Roses I bought my Wife! I'd actually given up after about 100 failures trying to Bud Graft a HT by the name of 'Riverview' & noticed a new shoot sprouting on a Climbing Rose I used as Stock. Didn't even know until it flowered that it was from the Pink Bouquet & the one under it sprouted shortly after I thought it was from a bunch of Yellow Roses my Kids picked for my Wife on Mother's Day but it was another Pink from the previous Bunch. As Murphy's Law would have it, Cuttings from this very Climbing Rose I've throw into my Tropical Garden have taken Root as do most I take from it & simply stick in the Dirt take Root(but usually die as I provide them zero care/water(I'm talking several months after they've struck & grown, but when I took that cutting from the Bud Grafted Rose to try to grow a new Pink Rose bush for my Wife it failed(Rot). I still have the second one but will try Aerial Grafting to get it to take as it's Hard Wood now(as big as my Thumb!) & if it doesn't take I'll just leave it as a Hybrid as the true Flowers on it are Pink/White variegated(it's just a bit too Tall).

Love your videos. Info no drama. Thanks.

Oh my gosh I can't wait to try this out. Gotta wait for this stupid covid lockdown to go away before I can go to the florist. Really don't like the bouquets from the supermarkets

Thank you so much for this. I did try the potato method without success. All I got was a wonderful potato plant😕

Thankyou for yhis it was just my anniversary so i hav e a bochet now❤

I received several cut roses for Mother's day. Most died after a week, but 1stem ended up starting new leaves. As an experiment, we waited until the petals dropped, then snipped off the flower end, pulled off the old leaves that were withering, and left the stem in water. Today, weeks later, it's developing lots of new (still tiny!) leaves. No roots though. Whoops! I guess it had it's own plan... I'll need to try dipping it in rooting hormone then sticking it in soil to see if I can spur roots!

Esse canal é excelente. Assuntos relevantes com informações confiáveis num estilo leve e agradável.

Went to the river and scooped up about 16 ounces of sand in a Starbucks cup. Cut some Walmart gift roses and used honey and cinnamon as my rooting hormone. Used a half water bottle as a covering for my cup making a mini greenhouse. A week and a 1/2 later, I have 4 well rooted and leafy lavender rose shoots. The carnations that came with the roses rooted well also.

Great, great, great vedio nice to know how to propogate and save some money.

Wonderful video.. at last, all the best information. I personally believe the open air is so much better, I hate pulling out dead smelly mouldy stems from the pots. Giving them water is rather difficult to judge, you just have to get it right and that’s a bit of a problem since it depends on so many other factors like temperature humidity ventilation. I love roses and my father’s garden is full of some lovely English roses and really wish I could finally get them growing.. The worst problem is mould so in fact should the medium be just a bit damp? should the cutting itself be misted? when would be the right time? Warmish early June? Thanks again

Patents if commercial growers not like granny's pink rose,hurrah!

You can use honey as a root stimulate also..

Great performance and top information , Thank you. Newcastle AU

Jason, Thank you so much Julie

Waao... Beautiful flowers..

When you should transplant the cutting to a bigger flower plot? Thank you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was very happy to find your video. Thank you for sharing this information. I purchased a bouquet of a dozen roses for my brother in law’s birthday. He was killed in a car accident before Christmas and his birthday past at the end of March. I didn’t think I bought a special bouquet but I was wrong. A week and half later my bouquet has 8 roses that have new growth on them including 2 buds! How can I replant these? I don’t care much about the original bouquet I would just love to keep the new growth and buds if at all possible. I have never seen this before. I would appreciate any advice or help to be able to keep this special bouquet. Thank you in advance.

Detailed explanation. Good

Best video about cuttings!

Nice video...to the point 👍🙏

Thank you for your guidance 👍 SMILES

I had bought a dozen roses from Kroger when they were on sale for $6 in August. I let the water evaporate and decided to let them dry. I just looked today and there are shoots and leaves all over the place! A couple were wilting because of lack of water but the others look strong. I added water to the vase. How do I try to transplant these? Do I cut them from the main stems then try to find some nodes on the new growth? I live in southeast Georgia.

Just brilliant ❤️

Thanks for the advice God bless you

Wow wonderful rose

Not to sound dumb, but when you say mist the cutting do you mean mist the soil only because I've heard that roses don't like their leaves wet so are we just misting the soil slightly? I don't understand what you mean by mist the cutting.

What kind of container did you put the stems? Does the container have holes in the bottom?

I’m wanting to propagate Saskatoon bushes/trees. Anything different needed for this plant. Thanks for the well explained video. What type of soil should I use?
