Hello everyone. I took some Rose cuttings last autumn which have been sitting in my cold frame ever since. How long do they usually take to root? When should I be looking to pot them on? I’m new to taking cuttings so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Unless roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot, I would leave it. It will probably be ready to transplant next autumn. In my experience, they take about a year. Keep it watered and out of direct sunlight.
Thanks so much for the advice I’ll leave them and see how we go but they’re not looking too healthy so I’m not hopeful ☹️ They’ve been fine until this week. 😢
I would expect the leaves to die off. You can trim them off if you want. One is showing signs of die back, but may shoot from ground level. I generally expect two out of three to make it.
Thank you so much its reassuring to know that they’re not all a total lost cause! This is the first time I’ve ever taken cuttings so I really appreciate all the advice.
