Rose Cutting advice

VoyagerxpVoyagerxp Posts: 651
Last year i took some rose cuttings and most had took. Now some of them have started growing little flower buds, would it be best to nip the buds off so the plant gains growth instead of using energy growing flowers.  Also would these be ok left out in the pots over winter or store them in the greenhouse.

    ..it is best to snip off the buds in the first year to push growth, unless it's a rose you have never seen before and you want to see what a bloom looks like..
    ..if you have a greenhouse, then yes by all means keep them in there for the winter.. some of them look big enough to consider planting out in autumn although some are in quite large pots for rooted cuttings...
