My beautiful rose

Be nice if I can root the Rose too, be lovely to give her a Rosebush from it

zigs - thats a really lovely thought - especially as receiving just one of those roses would be a wonderful gift - let alone receiving a whole bush of them - that you could look at all year round - but first you would have to persuade Claudine to part with one of her treasured cuttings and am not sure that any one would be too successful on that score

No, the virtual breakfast rose is real, got it in a jar of water on the windowsill

I was clearly having another one of those mental block moments - and got confused thought you meant you wanted to grow a rose like Claudines

Love a good mental block

Wow, Claudine! The picture isn't very clear, but I can easily see that rose is probably one of the most beautiful ones I have seen in a long time! Isn't a red rose right? The color seems of a nicer shade, right now I can't remember what that color is called in English tho. Could you root it?

Thank you, Trellum Unfortunately, I wasn't able to root it I did everything I could, I put it in the soil and I watered it regularly, but it turned brown after two weeks
The color of this rose was gorgeous It wasn't exactly red.

Oh no Did you use some kind of rooting hormone to root it ? I heard aspirin has the same effect, so does the cinnamon. Next time you can try it and tell us What would you have done with that rose if you could have planted it?

I wanted to plant it in my parents' garden, in front of my window
I didn't use any rooting hormones. Now, I regret it. I hope I'll have more luck with my white roses! The cuttings already developed a few leaves, so I'm an optimist

As I had been wondering how your rose was doing I've been keeping an eye out for news of it - so am really sorry to hear that it didn't work - especially as it was such a gorgeous rose

Unfortunately as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts - store bought roses that have then been displayed in a vase - very rarely take - even if you do everything correctly - which I know for sure you did.

However - I can assure you that using rooting hormone wouldn't have made any difference either - as it is rarely used to propagate roses - as they actually don't need it - because most roses contain a substance called auxin - which is their own natural rooting hormone - which means that - if you then overload it by adding extra synthetic rooting hormone - it often causes the cutting to fail.

Thank you for this information, it's really interesting! Now, I don't feel so guilty for not using any rooting hormones I haven't heard of auxin before.
I decided to try something new with cuttings from my white roses. My mother had told me to put them in water. I did it and they quickly developed a few leaves. When they grow a little bigger, I'll put the cuttings in the soil

Oh, so sorry to hear that I'm sure that rose would have been a wonderful addition to your garden Maybe the next time you try it you will succeed

I have never tried rooting a rose before, but if my boyfriend ever cuts a fresh rose for me I will surely try it

I can say from my own experience that it's much easier to root a cutting from a miniature rose than from a regular rose. I won't give up though! I really want to root my white roses (I posted a few pictures of them here: https://www.gardening-forums.com/threads/white-roses-are-the-most-beautiful-roses.2238/). I have 5 cuttings. All of them are still green, so I hope it will be a success
