Propagating Rose Cuttings Using the Potato Method: A Step-by-Step Guide

  • Choose a healthy, vigorous rose bush for your cutting.
  • Ensure the potato is fresh and firm to provide adequate moisture to the cutting.
  • Consider using a clear plastic bag to create a mini-greenhouse effect and increase humidity.
  • Be patient. It may take several weeks for the cutting to root.

Remember: While this method can be successful, it’s not guaranteed. For a higher success rate, traditional methods like water propagation or directly planting the cutting in potting mix with rooting hormone are often preferred.
