Propagating Lady Banks Rose from Cuttings

Easy Propagation Method

Lady Banks rose roots readily due to its vigorous growth. Take about ten 8-inch cuttings from the tips of canes that flowered this year. Remove spent blooms and strip all leaves except the top two. Plant in sandy soil or seed-starting mix in a spot with sun but no hot afternoon rays. Keep soil damp—not soggy—to avoid suffocating new roots. Once strong growth appears, feed with half-strength liquid houseplant fertilizer and move to full sun. Transplant to garden or larger pots after vigorous container growth.
