Checking in on our Rose Stems... 


Little Lakeview Conservatory LLC, used three methods for propagating wilting long stem roses.
  1. Using Fast Root and Planting in Dirt
  2. Using Honey, placing in a Potato and Planting in Dirt
  3. Placing in water with a water soluble fertilizer.
Method 1. Using Fast Root and Planting in Dirt.


2.Using Honey, placing in a Potato and Planting in Dirt.
There are still leaves attached and no signs of growth from the Rose Stems yet.

And 4 week update...
The Rose stems are dead, but I now have a bucket of Potatoes growing. By continuing to add dirt to the bucket these potato plants should keep growing. I may not have salvaged the roses, but I will have more potatoes soon! #growyourown #growalittle




3. Placing in water with a water soluble fertilizer.

The original leaves have fallen off and new leaves are sprouting in their places. 
The water propagation in test tubes is taking off the fastest.
... And the 4 week update.






I may have accidentally cooked them,tried to revive them. Luckily my husband often brings home roses, so starting over again!
...



Started a week later we left our Peach Long Stem Roses trimmed up in their vase to propagate.

And the 4 week update...
Hoping to keep these ones going and plant outside when the threat of frost has passed.
