Enjoy a backyard full of roses without the expense of buying full-grown plants from the nursery! Roses have the amazing ability to clone themselves from a single stem cut from the original bush. Kris Collins provides detailed instructions on choosing which stems to cut, preparing the cuttings properly, and planting them in the ground. By November, bare stems will have turned into brand new rosebushes and developed enough roots to be transplanted wherever you choose. If you take cuttings this year, you’ll have plenty of bouquets to cut in the years to come! For the especially adventurous or thrifty gardener, Kris even suggests an unorthodox way to use a common kitchen vegetable to give your roses a head-start in their growth.
