How do I grow roses from rose suckers?

Answer by  Liz59 (10966)

Well basically you can just use citrus peeling to inhibit the growth of the suckers. I would also recommend using some vinegar based solutions that will help rapidly to achieve this.

You have to wait for the roses to naturally send out suckers that will sprout nearby. At that point you can dig into the soil, cut the sucker free of the parent plant, and transplant the sucker to where you want the new plant to be.

Well, you have to plant the seeds and work with what you already have. Take a petal and also plant that as well. I heard it stimulates growth. Use some citrus peelings and vinegar for extra result.

Pull and twist rose suckers off and then plant roses. You cannot grow roses from rose suckers it is best to get rid of rose sucker first as it can over take your garden.

You need really detailed information to do that if you are new at it there is no simple way to do it there is a strict process that has to be followed I bought a book for it when I did mine and thats the only way to do it and understand what you are doing.

This is not the easiest way to do it. It is a diffucult process to grow rosed this way. You can dig into the soil and get the sucker out to plant it.

For best results, use a root hormone product. Just dip the ends of the suckers into the powder before planting them. You can plant them in a smaller pot first, and after they have taken root, transplant them to the final spot in your garden.
