5. Cover for Humidity
Cover the cutting with a clear plastic bag or a cut plastic bottle to create a mini greenhouse. This keeps moisture in and protects the cutting.
6. Keep It Moist & Warm
Place in indirect sunlight.
Water regularly to keep the soil damp but not soggy.
7. Wait for Roots to Grow
Roots usually form in 3–6 weeks. You can test by gently tugging on the stem—resistance means roots have formed.
8. Transplant
Once strong roots form and new leaves appear, move your rose to a larger pot or into your garden.
🌿 Tips for Success:
Take cuttings in early morning when plants are hydrated.
Spring and early summer are the best times to propagate.
Keep an eye on moisture and avoid direct sun until the cutting is rooted.
With just a bit of care and patience, you’ll be able to grow your own roses and fill your garden with stunning blooms — all from one parent plant!
