I would like to start a rose bush in my yard, and i would like it to be taken from a bush in my grandmothers yard. Is there any way to do this without digging up the original?
How do I start a new rose bush from an existing one?

You'll find out all sorts of ways to make more roses from your original one.
Hope this helps,

Reply:Do what the Dragon guy says, but, first remove the bottom leaves. Then plant it in a pot with potting soil and peat moss. Make sure a few leaf nodes are underground. Then stick 4 tall stakes in the dirt. Cover this with a clear plastic bag. Leave one corner of the bag up so the plant can get air. This creates a mini greenhouse that will hold in the moisture until it has a chance to root. Just check it occasionally to make sure it is always damp. It should have noticeable roots within a month.
Reply:Yes, and it is called cloning. You take a small clipping, or better yet a small branch, from the original rose bush, and you cut the end at a 45 degree angle, stick the end in rooting compound (which most good flower shops should be able to get if they don't already have), and then plant the clipping in some very fertile soil. Roots will start to form in two or three days, and become a healthy plant in several weeks time. Good luck.
Reply:We used a method called layering. bend a cane of Grandma's rose over to the ground and bury it without removing it from the mother plant...you can add just a little compost to the new area first or add on top of the sunken cane tip... it should root by next year and then you can dig up the 'baby... haven't had a lot of experience with roses but this worked for us and was easy for inexperienced gardeners...good luck..
Reply:In the fall or spring when you prune the rose bush. Take several cuttings. Stripping off all the leaves, or if dormant you won't have to do that. Stick about one third of the cutting into a rooting agent called root tone. Then plant in slightly acidic (Adding a little peat moss will work) soil. Water. I have had good luck with roses without using the rooting agent. You just have to make sure they don't dry out at the beginning. Good luck.

How do you make the origami rose cube?
I've seen the website a few months ago that has the instructions for the rose cube on it, but now it's gone. Anyone have the instructions?

How far should you cut your rose bushes down in the winter to prepare for the spring?
I have a row of rose bushes that are along my fence, and they are really high so i know i need to cut them down for spring.
How far should you cut your rose bushes down in the winter to prepare for the spring?
It really depends on what kind of rose it is. I would cut back no more than 2/3 of rose. Hope this helps.
Reply:Don't cut rose bushes down in winter wait till spring. Cutting them back encourages them to shoot now and they will frost. If you 'butcher' and they are not a robust variety some will die. I would cut them down by half. They don't need to be cut down in summer for the heat. Only to encourage more flowers. I live in Australia and not heard of here and it does get to 105 deg F where I live!
Reply:Each fall I trim my rose bushes back and mulch around them for the winter. I usually cut them down to the last "fork" in the stem. In the spring I prune more off if needed and when warm enough I move the mulch back from around them to keep them from getting too hot.
Reply:never cut more than 2/3 of the original plant at any one time
Reply:cut them to about a foot off the ground and then make sure they are covered with a styrofoam cap or with leaves out of the yard take all that off after the last freeze
Reply:Always cut them in the late fall not the winter but if you have forgotten to cut them I would wait til spring.
Cut them to about 12 to 15 inches above the ground and trim them in the summer as needed to produce more growth and for shaping.
Good luck!
Reply:I work for a large Landscape firm in Indiana.We cut roses back to "knee-high" Roughly 16-18 " tall.They come back strong every year. Add a good pile of hardwood mulch around the base to protect in spring.This will prevent the plant budding too early%26amp;falling victim to late frost.
Reply:Well, I neglect to trim my roses and my boxwood hedges regularly, so when I do it (get someone to do it), I cut them back "to within an inch of their life".

What do you do with rose bushes before winter?
I have a climbing rose bush, a regular rose bush, and two rose bushes that bloom like flowers, not roses. Should I cut them down all the way, or leave them as they are?

I'm with Heartbeat and Sciway...
Don't cut them now... Don't. I've answered this question a few times... and I always recommend spring. Early spring. I'm in USDA hardiness zone 5, I use a local visual seasonal signal to decide when to prune. When the Forsythia bloom here, it tells me that the weather has turned toward Spring. Yes, there are freak storms, but in general nature knows best. That's when I cut. Don't cut your climber, except to even out the growth and remove dead wood. Climbers (generally) bloom off of older wood.
Good luck
Reply:you do not prune them or cut them until very early spring. If they are newly planted then you want to mulch them up for the winter and then in the spring when the leaves are just starting to show you can cut them back or just prune them up.
Reply:It is good to prune down rose bushes a bit so you can winter protect the graft (the bulky thing just above the ground) with as much mulch as possible, except, the climbing rose bush, let it climb a high as you like, but shape a bit the side branches. Pruning roses is important for the health of the bush and for the quality of the blooms, so its worth spending time to learn and to do it right. Good luck.

Reply:Do Not Prune untill after winter.
go to: http://www.your-healthy-gardens.com/rose...
This article will explain how to prepare your roses for winter.
In general you won't prune untill new growth starts in the spring. The old growth (last years) will actually help protect the lower part of the plant from frost or extreme cold.
Hope this helps
Reply:Not knowing where you are from makes this difficult to answer. I would contact your local garden center. Armstrong Garden Centers are usually a good information resource and frequently have classes available. Or even better contact your local ARS, American Rose Society at www.ars.org They have a very good website and frequently offer classes also. Happy gardening!

How do I winterize a potted rose tree?
I have a rose tree that I've kept in a large pot all summer. Now that it's near winter in Wisconsin, what do I need to do to ensure it will survive the winter? Should I trim any branches? Should I put it indoors? Do I need to still water it?
How do I winterize a potted rose tree?
You have two problems that you must deal with in Wisconsin.
1) Tree roses are usually not stem hardy below 10 degrees F. Therefore, you will need to protect this rose somehow.
2) Roots are not as hardy as the crown and stems and are at risk while above grade in pots.
Either you will need to lay this tree rose down in your yard and cover with a mound of straw first and then soil, or you take this plant indoors to an unheated area that will not drop below 10 degrees F. You can do this after the ground freezes but before the real cold arrives (10 degrees F or lower). Water occasionally until the ground freezes.
Reply:plant it outside in a protected area or put it in a large pot some ware cool in your house it will die and then regrow next year. but next year plant it and in the winter cover it with leaves from your yard to keep the cold out (i live in north dakota try it) but it might not be to late to plant it and cover it with leaves. my neighbors do the same thing. ( and i think you meen rose BUSH) -but we all do that kind of thing ( i spelled turkey turker lol! and no you dont need to water it
Reply:I agree with WellLit, but I'd be more inclined to push for burying the rose tree in your area.... it's too hard to remember to care for something in the garage over winter and you're more likely to lose it there....

What is the differenct between a rose and a carnation and are they in the same family?
Is a carnation an offspring of a rose and are they in the same family.
What is the differenct between a rose and a carnation and are they in the same family?
A Carnation belongs to the family "Dianthus" and contains small thin leaves and "knots" in the stem as the plant grows. They don't grow very tall or become very bushy and originated from the Near East.
A Rose belongs to the family Rosa and can grow in multiple ways. It can be a climber or a bush and has large broad leaves and a "thorny" stem. The species originatd in the Northern Hemishpere.
If you are ever wondering what plants are in the same family, the leaves and stem structure are always the clue.

What are the best type of rose petals to use for valenties day?
Im going to do it for my gf im going to put rose petals on the stairs and then her bed. which kind would be the best for that?
What are the best type of rose petals to use for valenties day?
buy fake rose petals. They look real, and they are reusable. They also come in all colors. They are cheaper then real roses, and less time consuming because they are already unattached from the rose.
Yet it still will set the mood.
Reply:fabric ones so u can vacume thm after
Reply:yes red fabric ones, they won't stain if they get stepped on like real ones do, but don't vacuum them they will plug your cleaner.
