I just peeled two potatoes and put one vine in a peeled potato and did the like. I took a second rose bush and did the same. Except for the first rose vine in the potato I made a second hole on the side just to see if there would be a difference in blooming. I read something about a "green house" effect to use plastic bottles, cuttong off the bottom and placing it over the vine to make it grow faster. I'm going to try this plastic bottle trick when I get home .. I'll let you know if it works! I'm super excited!!!
