This is when the plant has just started to produce new growth and is in full-on growing mode. It\u2019s best to avoid taking cuttings when the bush is in full bloom, as most of its energy will be sent towards creating flowers and it may not have enough energy for growing roots.<\/p>\n<p>Cuttings can also be taken in late summer or early fall after the rose has finished flowering for the year.<\/p>\n<p>To increase your chances of making high-quality cuttings, you\u2019ll want to cut from the rose bush\u2019s new growth.

To apply the rooting hormone, simply apply a small amount of the product to the bottom of your cutting and shake off any extra. Make sure to follow the directions of whatever product you&#8217;re using, as they can differ.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Plant_your_Cuttings\"><\/span><strong>Step 4: Plant your Cuttings <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rose cuttings can be planted directly into the soil but should be planted shortly after their taken. Try to prep the planting area before you take your cuttings. If your soil is on the heavy side, adding a small amount of sand into the existing soil will allow the roots to take root more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Push your cuttings down into the ground down to about 1\/3 of their overall length. If your planting multiple cuttings make sure to leave about 4 to 5 inches in between each one.<\/p>\n<p>If your planning to grow your rose bush from cuttings in a tray or <a href=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementscout.com\/how-to-make-cedar-planter-boxes\/\">planter<\/a>, then a standard potting mix will work well. Plant the cuttings in a cool area with plenty of indirect sunlight. To add extra humidity (which will work like a mini greenhouse and help them grow faster) you can tent the cuttings with a plastic bag or piece of plastic sheeting.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to make sure not to have the plastic come in direct contact with the cuttings. You can use a few small sticks, stakes, or barbeque skewers to tent the bag above the plant.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Water_your_Cuttings\"><\/span><strong>Step 5:\u00a0 Water your Cuttings <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After planting your cuttings, you\u2019ll want to monitor them closely until roots begin to form. This typically takes about 2 weeks, so you\u2019ll want to ensure the soil is moist every day during that time period.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the cuttings well-moisturized until you\u2019re sure they\u2019ve put down roots. You can test the roots by gently tugging on the plant and checking to see if it comes loose or stays put. When it\u2019s started to create new growth from the stem you can be sure the roots are in place.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_629\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-629\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-629 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fresh-growth.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"fresh growth rose cutting\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fresh-growth.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fresh-growth.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fresh-growth.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fresh growth from the rose cutting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After the cutting is rooted, you can replant it anywhere you like, or leave it in its current spot.
