Dreaming of a garden full of roses without breaking the bank?
Here’s a simple, satisfying way to grow new rose bushes—right from cuttings!
Easy Step-by-Step:
Select a healthy stem from a mature, thriving rose bush.
Snip it just below a node, making sure it’s 6–8 inches long.
Remove lower leaves and any flowers to help the cutting focus on root growth.
Dip the cut end in rooting hormone (totally optional, but it gives your rose a great start!).
Plant it in moist soil—either in a pot or directly in your garden.
Cover with a clear plastic bottle or bag to create a mini greenhouse effect.
Place in bright, indirect light and keep the soil consistently damp.
In just a few weeks, your cutting will begin growing roots—and you’ll have a brand-new rose bush to be proud of!
