Hi all.
A lady at church gave me an 18" long rose stem. The flower is yellow and smells so lovely.
Anyway, she said it broke off a bush and knowing I like plants, suggested I try and get it to root.
I trimmed the top, cutting off the flower and 4 buds. Cut it at an angle on the bottom and again cutting it in half, so I now have two stems.
I stuck them in a 6" pot, using potting soil. I then placed a cut, 2 litre bottle over the stems to create a greenhouse effect.
Am I doing this correctly? Should I do this some other way? I read somewhere to stick the stem in a potato. I have no experience with roses. And want to be successful with this project.
Any help is appreciated. TIA
