I placed a stem of a rose (no Flower) in water and it sprouted a leaf, will it survive, what should I do now?

Answer 1

Don't let the cutting dry out. You can soak the cutting in water with a willow branch to see if it grows roots. If it does, then plant it in good potting soil. It's best to shield the cutting from the hot afternoon sun. Bright light, but not direct sunlight, is ideal when the cutting is getting established.

OR...If your stem starts to root, stick it in a flower pot with potting soil & place a clear, thin plastic bag up over the pot and cutting, twist shut at the top & tie with a rubber band. A stick or clipped wire clothes hanger in the pot higher than the cuttings keeps the bag from collapsing down around the plant material. This will keep humidity constant inside the bag, while the cuttings are growing roots.

OR...After the cutting roots, you can place a large glass jar over the cutting planted in the flower bed to keep the plants humid while getting established. Make sure that direct sun does not overheat the contents of the jar.http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/southerngarden/roseprop.html
Good luck! Hope this helps.

Answer 2

transfer it to a pot filled with peat material and keep it moist but not wet. Roses are hard to grow so dont over water it. Keep it in a bright but not sunny spot adn see what happens. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

you put the stem in the wrong place.water is not a suitable medium. Remove the stem and plant it immediately in a pot; it may not survive.

Answer 4

Only if there are roots starting to form. I would wait before there is a few roots then put it in soil. I have found the roots grow much faster in soil than water once they appear.

Answer 5

It might very well.

Rather than reproducing the directions, here's a pointer to rose propegation from cuttings directions from a master hybridizer. I found these easy to follow, and he has pictures of EVERY step: http://www3.telus.net/georgemander/articles/cut_from_cut.html

definite-your rose will come out lower back. seems such as you're a greater scientific expert than a planter-- (re--the taping of the rose bush.) Your rose needs to be decrease off suited above the 1st bud on the stem that grew to become into broken. Its allright to decrease roses lower back while they're torn- diseased or ineffective from something.. they'll usually placed out extra stems. in reality we decrease roses lower back now and lower back to approximately 6- inches approximately Feb, 14. i will continuously be sure you prune my roses at Valentine Day in view that's what we get usually for valentine. continuously prune out any ineffective limbs-- crossed limbs or no remember if that's transforming into too super. i think of your rose will survive this crack in case you purely prune it lower back suited below the cracked place interior the stem. don't be so not basic on your Dad. he probable purely meant to save the cushions. My husband do not see my vegetation now and lower back ( bless his heart) maximum adult adult males do not see our little vegetation and final week he pushed a wheel barrow suited over my flower mattress. The week earlier that-- he grew to become into going to drag some ( he theory weeds) and pulled up my crimson petunias. He meant to do nicely-- according to risk your Dad did additionally. Forgive him and decrease the rose off suited below the cracked place. Water it nicely once you plant it and bear in mind that it does not bypass interior the floor below the muse ball. in case you place it interior the floor below the muse ball -it would desire to have area shoots which would be from the mum plant it grew to become into grafted from to make this hybrid and that's unquestionably not comparable to what you got. good success on your roses-- bear in mind don't get water on the leaves --this reasons black-spot- in straight forward terms water the floor below the rose bush.
