Will my steam rose root without using the hormone powder?

Community Answer

Yes, almost guaranteed, however hormone powder will keep your plants safe from pests.

Question

If I have a rose that is half-pink and half-cream on my rose bush, is there a way to grow a new bush that has all flowers like that one?

Community Answer

There is. If you have a multi-colored rose (2 colors in your case) and you prefer having this rose over the others, buy a rose bush with unbloomed flowers and take the rose you prefer, dig it up with the roots attached, and plant it with the unbloomed rose bush, right in the middle. The flowers around it should be similar or the same. This worked for me.

Question

How does a plant regrow after cutting?

Community Answer

Think of it like cutting your hair, it regrows. You need to pull up the roots too to keep the plant from coming back.

Question

How do I bring back a rose that was cut down to a stem?

Community Answer

The bush can grow back without any help in some time. It might take some months for it to gather energy and grow foliage and flowers, so be patient.

Question

I’ve seen other tutorials where they put the rose in water and wait for roots to grow. It’s worked on other plants. Can it work here too?

Helga Nitschke

Community Answer

Of course it does. Spring is a good time, it is when the roses are budding. Plant it and keep moist. Don't expose to extreme sun.

Question

What do I do if my rose bush hasn't branched out?

Helga Nitschke

Community Answer

They always branch out once you cut off the flowering bud. Any bush will do the same. Cut out the center and it will branch out.

Question

My roses have black spots on the leaves. What can I do to get rid of them?

Helga Nitschke

Community Answer

Go to your nursery and get an insecticide that kills black spot. Read the instructions, because it has to be sprayed more then once.
