Propagating Roses in a Potato

I'm going to try propagating in a potato. I've done this with rootone.

This is my rose called "The Fairy". It grows more horizontal than vertical.

I will wait until the roses fade to make the cuttings.

Interesting. Can't wait to see your results.

 

That sounds cool. How do you do it? Just stick the cutting into a raw potato ?

 

I can't pass this one up....the potato bin will be one less potato tomorrow and I think the rose bush needs trimming. Hmmmm....Russet or red? Would that be called a Rosatoe or a potose? I wonder if dried rose petals would taste like potato chips?

I saved that website for fall, and will take my cuttings then. Though, my roses do need deadheaded at the moment and a few old canes removed.

 

Don... curious minds want to know how to do this
