What You Need: A healthy, flexible rose branch and some garden soil.
Steps:
- Select a low-growing branch and make a small cut on the underside.
- Bury the wounded section in soil while keeping the tip above ground.
- Secure it with a stone or pin.
- After a few months, once roots develop, cut it from the parent plant and replant.
- Using Rose Hips (Seeds)
What You Need: Mature rose hips.
Steps:
- Collect rose hips after they turn red or orange.
- Open the hips and extract the seeds.
- Stratify seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel in the fridge for 6–10 weeks.

- Potato Method (For Fun!)
What You Need: A potato, a rose cutting, and soil.
Steps:
- Prepare the rose cutting as before.
- Poke a hole in a small potato and insert the cutting.
- Plant the potato in soil. The potato provides nutrients and moisture for rooting.
Tips for Success:
Use disease-free and healthy stems or seeds.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Avoid direct sunlight for young cuttings.
Be patient—root development can take time.
