New orange hybrid tea roses

Most roses grow from cuttings, on there own roots, but the ones you have will be on a rootstock so will grow differently to the own root ones, most times the own root ones are very much larger plant, but also may be more sensitive to soil type/conditions/viruses etc

If you want to duplicate the ones you have , I wouldnt take any cuttings soon as they have only just been planted, I never chop them at all first year as they need the leaves to get established.

For cuttings, the best way in 1st year of planting would be to wait till its cool in the autumn, cut the rose back and stuff the branches in the floor over the winter, they will root spring the next year, flower the year after

With summer cuttings they take easily from roses using a plastic bag or 2L lemonade bottle, but they take some time to root and once rooted again about 2 years until they flower well

It depends how long you want to wait for more plants, It is very much easier and cheaper in the long run to get the £1.50 ones bare root in the winter, even waiting till next year to buy them as they are larger and more established and the rootstocks probably suited to growing in the UK

Saying that I prefer own root roses as they usually make massive plants, it depends on what you want

Thanks, it seems like it might be a long wait from cuttings, unless they start growing straight away. The £1.50 rose are sold out, so I might just have to wait.
I want a short hedge (hawthorne, privet, and birch); I might just buy those for £18 for ten, and save some money on the roses.

Hi YFS! I grew a "Joro" last year in a pot, with a view to propagating! It did brilliantly! Blooms the size of my palm! And I have big palms!

Although described as orange, would rather say peachish! But lovely all the same!



Didn't establish well enough to have the courage to "Chop a few bits off!" But there is always this year!

Since I have two different varieties, I will have to wait and see what colours they both are, and then take equal cuttings of each one.
I will have to keep a look out for some more in the shops, because cuttings looks like a long term solution. Do the cuttings grow as soon as you plant them in the soil?

Yes, cutting are a longer term solution as you say! But they are free!

And no! They don't grow straight away from cuttings! As "Starloc" says they take a few years to get established! So if you are wanting instant or should I say semi instant results, stick with the idea of buying "Bare Rooted" but you will have to "Dip your purse"

For me these day's, time is not of the essence! So am happy to stick a few twigs in a pot n see what happens!

Best advise I was ever given from my beloved Mother! (An avid gardener) "If you rush in gardening, then your not doing it right" God rest her soul!
