Thanks for the Tips
by: Susan

That's very interesting information, AJ. Thank you! I guess I must have taken my wood from an old climber :) cos I sure 'struck' it lucky with my Cecile Bruner - Lol!

I'll have to try out your methods and see if I can strike a few other varieties.
striking cuttings is easy
by: AJ

Its actually very easy to strike cuttings, if you do it right. There is a page on this site that gives some of my methods, but in brief, here is how to do it.

1.Take 1 year old wood...thats last seasons growth, if possible. About 6-10" long, and as thick as a cigarette is about right.

2.Do the cuttings as close to the full moon as possible. Strike rate WILL go up if you do that.

3. Put a couple of asprin (Not disprin) into a vase of water, and let the cuttings sit in that for a few days.

4.Plant them out in a well drained position, where they wont be disturbed. After a few months, you will they have either turned brown and dry (they have died) or there is fresh green growth on them. Transplant the healthy ones at the end of winter, when they are dormant.

Autumn is the best time to take cuttings, in my opinion. Leave them over winter, and they will be ready to plant out in around 4-5 months.

One more tip. Climbers tend to be easier to strike. And the older the variety, the easier, as well. So an old climber is bound to be foolproof! ;-)
It's easy to strike, too

You are welcome for the contribution, AJ. Thank you for the additional information about this rose. I didn't know all that you said :)

I forgot to mention this rose is also easy to strike from a cutting. It is the only rose I have ever been able to strike, in fact!
