Trying to root Confetti florist rose, suggestions?
Comments (2)Thanks m! I wasn't even sure what variety it was when I bought it, and was impressed that the gal knew, it's the floral dept in one of our grocery stores. At least I chose an easy one. They also had some nice kind of lavender color ones, thought I better just try one for now. Wish me luck! Shelley...See Morehow to root a long stem florist rose?
Comments (4)Michelle, if you succeed with rooting Red Intuition, let me know how you did it. I rooted a few florist roses but I could never root this one. I assumed that they might not have been fresh or were treated with something but most probably it was just my bad luck....See MoreCan I root my florist roses?
Comments (0)It is possible to root florist roses. These are not ideal for the garden - they are more suited to the greenhouses where they have been raised, usually in tropical climates. But if you have some florist roses, why not give it a try? Something to be aware of is that many florist roses have been treated with preservative that hinders root growth. You can call the nursery where yours were purchased, to find out if this is the case. Most of the florist roses that I have heard of rooting, were from unsuspecting recipients who left the roses in their vase of water over a period of several months, and then noticed that roots had formed below the water line. This seems almost too easy, but there it is! :-) If you would like to try a more standard approach to rooting florist roses, you can try placing them in a misting bed, do the baggie method, or plant them outside in a shady area and cover with a jar. Chances can be increased with the use of rooting hormone and wounding the bottoms of the cuttings with a sharp knife. If interested in these methods or learning more about the terms used, do a search in the rose prop forum for more detailed instructions. Have fun rooting!...See MoreOk call me crazy...

Comments (12)So far the IGUANA cuttings are still looking good. It'll be two weeks for those on Thursday. The leaves dropped and new growth is sprouting and the canes are looking supple. When I did the cuttings outside last yr, they would begin to turn black within about a week. So I think this is going to work!! I'm so excited! Even if I only get one or two to root of each variety I try, I'll be happy!!! And the SHOGUN buds are still holding tight and keeping the darker coloring, despite my cat Lola nibbling on them....See Moresengyan
