I've tried rooting hormone. Should I put in sun or shade? What type of soil? The old timers put mason jars over them does really work? What season is best?

I use the rooting hormone and stick them in the ground in the garden. We have a moderate, moist climate. You would not want them to bake in the sun. Don't let them go dry. I think autumn is the best because the ground is warm and there's plenty to cut off the rose bush. Make the cutting about 6-8 inches long. Just keep one group of leaves at the top, don't keep any flower buds. Expose the places where the lower leaves were attached. Cut the end on a slant, leaving a bud place exposed on the lower part of the slant. Dip in the hormone powder, getting some on the cut-off bud places. Stick in the ground up to its neck (only the top leaves showing). Don't worry if the leaves disappear during the winter, buds will come in the spring if they have taken root. It also depends on the vigor of the variety. A canina (wild) type rose, you can just stick bits in the ground and it roots. This came in handy after an accident with a bushwhacker (strimmer). :-)

Have your rooting hormone ready as soon as you make the cutting. Dip the cutting in water, then your rooting medium. Getting the dipped cutting into moist planting medium as soon as possible. The oldtimers suggestion of using a mason jar is a good one, giving you a high humidity miniature greenhouse to speed things up a bit.

have u tried to start the cuttings in a glass of water in the house. this will give the roots a chance to become stronger. then, plant them in a smaller container and transplant the next year.

it truly is perfect to flow roses in November (until eventually they are flowering). each and each of the leaves fall off, yet they recuperate contained in the spring. do not supply up on yours, save it watered and it may deliver out some new shoots. once those have leaves on them, shrink away the lifeless timber.

Martha Stewart puts soda bottles over hers until they start to have a few leaves, then she uncovers them.
