Begin by selecting two or three of the healthiest and longest stems from a rose bush. Obtain cuttings from a local florist or kindly ask a neighbor for some. Trim the stems to approximately 6 to 8 inches in length, removing any leaves from the bottom half. Place these precious cuttings in clean jars filled with water, ensuring they stay hydrated while you prepare the potatoes for their cozy beds. To keep track of different rose types, label each jar accordingly. Once your stem cuttings are ready, let’s move on to the next step.

Step 2 – Precise Cutting and Rooting Hormone:

With your rose cuttings all set, it’s time to perform precise cuts. Trim about half an inch from the bottom of each rose cutting.

With these essential steps completed, it’s time to proceed to the most intriguing part – planting them in their potato beds.
