Thanks for sharing the photos Ghibie19. I can imagine the lovely sent waffing over the garden!

Trying to propagate a rose using the air propagation method. When should I cut and plant the propagated segment? propagation roses I have had one of those plastic balls attached to a climbing rose since May this year Is it now a good time to cut the segment and plant it in the ground ?

Thanks floral. I can't put them in the ground because i don't have any. I garden in pots on a balcony. :) Anyhow, i can bring the pots (gallon) in for the winter or leave them out sitting on or buried in 10 gallon pots (can't use those bigger pots yet, they have morning glories in them - the heavenly blue has lots of buds but still waiting for the first flower).

@Gawdinfever Z6 I honestly don't know what type of fine bark I'm using. I get it from a local supplier, I'll have to ask them. I'll post a pic of the material tomorrow. I'm in the pacific northwest so most likely some kind of fir or cedar. I've been incorporating their fine bark ( which is 1/4 inch and smaller) along with their medium bark (1 inch and smaller) into my potting soil. I got the idea of using fine bark from a youtube video. The gist was to use any inert material as that reduces the chance of cuttings rotting before they root. It's always a race to root before rot. :o) This year I've rooted over 300 different cuttings. Roses, clematis, euonymous, physocarpus, cornus, lonicera, blueberry, hydrangea, pieris japonica. I also tried some maples, but no success with those this year, last year a few rooted and are growing on. I've been using both a powder, hormodin 1, and a liquid Dip & Gro. I wish I'd tracked which and when to see which was more effective, but this year was a bit here and there. Next year I'll keep better notes. Editing to add what prompted this post. I have 40 or so cuttings in the process of rooting, but I'm finding at this time if year they are not producing any or very good roots. So I was wondering what other people propagate during the colder months.
