How To Propagate Roses Using Potatoes For Rapid Rooting... Growing Roses In Potatoes

You're at the garden center wanting roses — a whole row along the fence — but you flip the tag and it's twenty, twenty-five dollars a bush. To line that fence you'd need eight or ten. That's two hundred dollars, so you set it back down. Here's what nobody there will tell you: that rose in your hand — and every rose on your neighbor's fence you've admired — could be turned into ten new bushes for free, from a snip of stem, a clove of garlic, and a potato. In this video, Amish farmer Jacob Miller shows you how to propagate roses from cuttings using a potato for rooting. A rose comes from a rose — a little cutting, coaxed to grow roots of its own into a whole new plant, just like its mother. These are the old passalong roses, carried garden to garden on nothing but cuttings and kindness. From taking a good cutting, to sealing the cut with garlic against rot, to a homemade potato-peel-and-rice tonic, to seating the cutting in a potato that keeps it moist and fed while it roots, this is pure old thrift. Do it right, and in about a week the roots start — turning one bush you love into a whole fence of roses, and a start to hand to every daughter, neighbor, and friend. You don't need to pay a fortune. Just a cutting, a potato, and a cup of sand. 🌹 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How to take a good rose cutting (and where on the stem the roots want to come from) Why you rub the cut end with garlic — nature's guard against rot and mold A simple homemade rooting tonic from potato peel, garlic, and rice What the potato actually does (holds moisture and feeds it — the cutting roots itself) Why plain river sand is the old gardener's bed for striking cuttings How to make a little greenhouse so the rootless cutting doesn't dry out How to pot up your rooted rose — and turn one bush into a dozen for free 🔔 If you like learning the old ways of doing things, tap LIKE — it helps this little channel more than you'd guess — and SUBSCRIBE so you can keep learning right alongside Rebecca and me. 💬 Tell me in the comments: what rose would you multiply first if you could have ten of it?
