How do i get trees and roses to grow from a cutting off another tree or rose bush?
Question:
Answers:
You can do that but you have to be careful where the cutting comes from. Many fruit trees and most roses are made by grafting a fancy plant onto a sturdy (but ugly) rootstock. If you take your cutting below that graft you will be making copies of that root plant and it is not the tree or rose you are hoping for.
Propagating woody ornamentals like trees and roses requires the right timing and where to take the cuttings. The attached link gives the details.
go to your local Green house /nursery ask them for root hormone powder. take your cutting dip in the root powder & follow the Instructions on the label. It's not costly.Lowes has it as well.
I am about to root some beautiful roses that someone gave to me from their garden. I went to my local co-op and purchased the rooting hormone powder. I was told to take a 5-6 inch cutting then take a knife and just slightly shave it at the bottom then dip it in water and then the hormone powder. The powder will stick to the stock! Plant it in a small container with potting soil and use a spray bottle to spray water onto it as needed. Hope this helps!
Propagating Roses is basically the same for all types of roses.
Propagating shrubs and trees can be a different way for certain varities,
I have included a link for the shrubs/trees
as well as one for the roses It's always a good idea to print a copy or bookmark it for future referance.

Root hormone can be purchased almost anywhere garden centers like Lowes, Home depot, Walmart,Target, and Kmart. You can also go to a nursery and pay more for it.

Select a cane of new growth and cut the stem on a slant like this: /. Leave a bud just above the cut.
Remove the bud and all of the leaves.
Place the cut stem in water or moist vermiculite that comes half way up its length.
If desired, add root compound to the water or vermiculite to speed the rooting process.
Place in an area that is well lit and where temperature stays at approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Leave for 4 to 6 weeks.
Do not place in direct sunlight.
When roots develop, plant in a small pot. Soil mixture should be half compost and half sand.
Place the pot in a hole in your yard or garden where it is well sheltered.
When vigorous growth begins, transplant the rosebush in a permanent location.

Hi, you need to cut a cane from the rose bush. It can be like picking a flower, but try o get one with a sturdy cane,and about 12 inches long. It also has to have at least three five leafed leaves. Than, cut off the flower,and strip all the leaves off, except for two of the five leafed leaves. Try to leave them in the middle of the cane. Than with a small pot of soil. make a hole larger than the cane. You'll need rooting powder for this,and you can buy it at Lowes. Dip the wet bottom end of the cane,in the powder,and without touching the sides of the hole with the powder, put the cane in. Then, get a plastic bag and put over it. In about a month you'll have a new rose bush! Bye
