For the weekend. This little plant has 12 rose budlets. I bought them closed so we can take care of it as a family.

Thought I'd put my grow area to work. After I read up some articles I found. Hopefully, I can get em going.

Should be fun.

Doing it for the tranquility ,

Is it grafted or does it grow own its own roots? No matter...i'd def do it for the fun of it.

Ya i will. I've gathered much info. Tips to increase the odds, as apparently roses are finicky to clone. Tricks like cornmeal , honey (sterilization) , molasses ( which I used for my outdoor mmj )lots of things. Also I believe I have an added benefit of having my indoor light setup.

Hahha I found this https://www.rollitup.org/gardening/75466-how-do-you-go-about.html

I will have to try that ^^^

I have tried cloning the flowers yet. So any good tips on how to fertilize these babies?

I'm going to transplant into a bigger pot with happy frog soil . I'm wondering if I should ammend the soil with something ?

Bumping an old thread. I trimmed down my one season old roses for winter and covered them with the cardboard cap things. I also kept a bunch of pencil sized cuttings to clone. They are soaking in water now for refrigerator storage till I get back from CO then I'll try to root them in pots till summer transplant. Anyone had luck with this?
