QuestionI was pruning my shrub rose and cut off a large healthy branch. Is there any way to plant or save this branch?
AnswerHi Sandi.......yes, yes, please try to rooted it! As a matter of fact, you can cut it into 6 in pieces and try to root alot of it. It use 5 gallon pots full of organic humus and keep it moist and in partial shade/sun till I feel resistance when it give it a tug (sign of roots developing) You can overwinter these inside /basement,etc. then the next spring give each one a small-er pot of its own. As the root system enlarges its chance of survival increases....and soon you will be able to plant it in the garden. God bless, j.williamson
