Using pruning shears or a sharp knife, cut from above the first set of leaves at a 45-degree angle. You can choose to cut rose cuttings in the morning as in this time, they are more hydrated. Before use, remember to clean the trimming tool with rubbing alcohol.

Put the rose cuttings directly into the water. It’s important to keep your rose cuttings well-hydrated so they don’t dry out before planting. Immediately after cutting rose cuttings, place them in a glass of room-temperature water until transplanted into the soil. Ideally, cuttings should be inserted into the soil as soon as after cutted.

Be sure to soak the ends of the rose cuttings in water before dipping in the powder. Gently dust off excess powder after dipping. Clean the trimming tool with alcohol again after use.

Choose a sunny spot for your rose cuttings. Picking a location is especially important if you’re going to grow outdoors. Choose a sunny spot that won’t get in direct sunlight – you don’t want your flowers to wilt. Rose cuttings can also be grown in grow bags or plastic pots or other containers, as long as the grow container is large and deep enough for them to grow.

Dig holes by using dibbers or widgers. Those holes should be 3 to 4 inches deep and wide enough according to the branches diameter you cut so that the powder won’t leak when you plug cuttings into the soil.

Plug rose cuttings into soil several inches or half deep gently, and then flap soils arrounding. To successfully grow rose cuttings, the most important method is to keep them moisture. If the weather is hot, you may need to water several times to promote the growth of roots. To keep the moisture, you can create a small greenhouse for roses such as wrap cuttings after water.
