Wow, I don’t know what I expected from Darlow, but it wasn’t that. That is some crazy rooting.

It surprised me too! And I'm pretty sure I did it without rooting hormone at the time

Useful to see the varied of rooting of different plants. 👍🏼

Thank you Jason, that was very interesting. 💐💚🙃

So interesting- appreciate the follow up. I know you have your “nusery cap” on..for me, as an average home gardener, if I got 1-3, I’d be thrilled 😆 Thanks for sharing!

Totally. I'm not sure what the home gardener would do with 20x 'Darlow's Enigma' - especially with how large it is! But same method either way, so I'm glad you tolerate my nursery topics.

Thank you for sharing these results, Jason. I'd really like to do more hardwood (as well as softwood) cuttings this year. 😊

I did roses in February did pretty good 😊

So nice to hear! I've gone with the assumption that the timing of sticking the cuttings in winter isn't critical - the early root development waits until soil temps start to rise anyhow.

I will try this year with the favorite rose in my yard. I don't know if it is some weird hybrid or not but I'm gonna try. I tried softwood last year and it just didn't take. But I think overwintering is the way to go. IF it's gonna work at all. I lose nothing for trying. Other's call it 'gardening' I just call it experimenting. I try new things all the time! And even when I find one way that works well, I continue to try other ways also. I bought the rooting compound you linked to and I want to say, it works spectacularly for me! Turned frustration into joy! Thanks :)

Love seeing these results. Definitely worth trying it myself this year.

Great video! Thanks Jason! Blessings!

Thanks Pauline!

I did some winter rose cuttings (also hardwood) and the survivors look pretty good. I’m in zone 8b, Portland OR area. How long do you recommend leaving in the ground before safely moving them? I’d rather not lose any, if possible. Thank you so much for sharing this.

It's a judgement call based on how well they've rooted - of course I'd have no hesitation to transplant the willows, spirea or rose that I showed in the video, but the deutzia (and others) needed more time. Waiting a little longer doesn't hurt if you're unsure, but ballpark for climates like ours would be to transplant by the end of June.

I'm across the River in Vancouver/Ridgefield area. I have a few cuttings that seemed to take from when I pruned in Feb, and I'll be forced to dig them up soon, because they otherwise won't get any water when I go on vacation. We'll see how they do, I guess.

Well I got bold and lifted and potted half of them yesterday. They had fairly robust roots. I’ll wait a week for the other half. Thanks again, Jason.

Thanks for the follow up, it was interesting and helpful both. After the initial video last fall I was inspired to try some rose cuttings to stick in the ground in my own garden. Haven’t dug down to look at roots but the stems aren’t black and they resist tugging so I’m hoping 🤞🤞🤞

@FraserValleyRoseFarm today I found that two of them have new growth & small leaves!!! 👏👏👏

Thank you.

Great video Jason! You said it so well, patience is required! Still learning but some hardwood cuttings root so well while some like Rhododendrons have been taking up to a year. So satisfying when the roots are there and strong. Can take a really long time! Appreciate you following up on prior videos. Have been wondering how those cuttings were going to do.

Thanks. I haven't ventured into rhodos yet, but we tried a few conifers and found many of them to be *slooow* as well. I did get relatively quick rooting on a fine-leaf thuja ('Rheingold') but that was the exception.

Yes, We do a lot of the Thujas such as Green Giants and Emerald Green. They seem to do well as soft or hardwood cuttings. Always something new to try and so many plants to try! Hope all is well! Larry

I put too some hardwood cuttings of Darlow's enigma and I have too a pretty good success, it's seems to be an easy variety to reproduce by cuttings. Here (Spain) it isn't common seing people doing semi hard wood cuttings for roses, everyone does hardwood ones.

I tried this with red twig dogwood cuttings. I could have used this update about 4 weeks ago. I assumed if the cuttings were growing leaves, then there were roots. Signal my surprise when I lifted them out of the pot they were in and there were barely any roots. I separated the cuttings from the original pot and repotted them to see what would happen. I know now to let them continue to grow for another couple of weeks and then check again. (Maryland, zone 7) I think I'll end up with 6-8 out of 15, and there would have been 3 more had the critters not decided to bury their treasures in my pots!!🤨 Thanks for the information on how to do hardwood cuttings!

Way to go... and my pleasure!

I occasionally work in a flower shop. During the prom/Mother’s Day season I pick up some hydrangea trims (stems). I put them in some water and they started to leaf, but no roots. Do I need to be more patient for roots? What do I do?

When is the best time to take the semi hardy cuttings . I’ll like to start rooting my own plants .

Jason, I am new to growth hormone treatment and you channel. All I have as a retired guy is a vine call "Clematis" I think. What root growth hormone do you recommend? Cut below a node or above? Strangely I have taken a single vine, buried it 2" deep, then turned the last 4" of this vine up for sun. Along a wood fence and cover with enhanced garden soil. I till leaves, grass clippings and coffee grounds. Basically anything organic. I grow dirt! If you have a preference, please share. DK, Omaha.

Jason- assuming you were to pot up these rooted cuttings, would you have kept the root ball together to minimize root disturbance since there's top growth too? In other words, was the root rinsing just for the visual?

I might do it differently depending on whether I'm potting for myself (for later transplant into the landscape) or potting for customers. It's a small thing, but the heavy clods of soil going into a container with potting mix can look inconsistent and a little less professional to customers. If I were just throwing them into a pot for a bit before putting them back into the garden (or going directly to the final planting spot) I'd definitely just keep the soil on the roots and minimize disturbance, but for customers I like the consistency if potting mix from top to bottom.

I live in zone 11. I have attempted to grow hardwood cuttings from a pomegranate tree but I was unsuccessful. The rainy season is in winter, so the soil was always moist. As you showed in the video, leaves began to emerge but the branches suddenly died off. I realized they were easy to pull out because they had no roots. I guess it was pointless to wait until they root once they died. What should I do to root the cuttings?

@FraserValleyRoseFarm

Ай бұрын

I might try the humidity dome method instead

I'm wondering if the length of the cutting has an impact on the success. Some are so long , it may take more energy to root ?

@FraserValleyRoseFarm

Ай бұрын

I'm not necessarily saying longer is better, but I did note that those with multiple nodes sometimes rooted from the 2nd or 3rd buried node as well, so more stored energy and more chances to succeed is sort of my thought.

It's always good to see real results.👌 Looks like you have some new options. I decided not to do any cuttings because it was so dry and windy this winter season. I'm hoping to have the porch section of the house done before the end September, but wind is always a consideration up here. They are predicting a pretty intense LaNina or ocean cooling this year which might bring substantial rain into your region as well as the whole West coast and North Americas. Typically the drier it is here, the wetter it is there, I guess we will see. Thanks for sharing the results Jason.🤙

@FraserValleyRoseFarm

Thanks for the heads up - I'd heard LaNina was on the way, but wasn't sure what that might mean here in terms of precipitation. So far it's been a fairly wet spring, so we'll see if that holds. The wind must make it really tricky for young plants, cuttings and seedlings both!

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I almost lost all of my plants because my water hauling truck broke down and still waiting for parts, but fortunately got enough rain to soak the ground and half fill the water tanks. The wind is really the hardest part because it can wick the moisture out of the ground within a couple of hours. So far the wind has been fairly calm since the rain, only a bit gusty here and there. Putting sand over all the plants is what saved them. It really is amazing just how much protection a layer of sand can provide.

Jason, what type of potting mix did you use for the hardwood cuttings

Jason, when you made the cutting just below the leaf node did you actually score the bark or just above the leaf node or just leave it as it was?
