Hello, B Gabriella! Sorry for the delay in replying. I first wanted to confer with my daughter who manages a local garden center. I’m assuming you planted your little rooted rose outside. You did well just getting roots! We both agreed you should probably plant it in a terra cotta pot at first. (You can increase the size of the pot, and probably where you live, leave it out all year.) I’ve found that using a liquid root stimulator really helps when you are transplanting. Having a good potting soil is key. My daughter recommends Happy Frog Potting Soil. She uses it at the garden center and has fantastic results. The terra cotta absorbs water. Water well, roses are thirst plants but do not like sitting in boggy conditions. Stick your finger in the pot. If it’s damp, don’t water. It has been my experience that most plants that die are over-watered.
You might want to buy a clear dome, or recycle a plastic bottle, to create a mini greenhouse. If you are putting it outside, be sure to set the pot where it gets morning sun and afternoon shade because of the sun’s heat, especially in Arizona.
Hopefully, these suggestions help you, but you can also check with your local garden center for suggestions, which might be more relative to where you live. Best of luck to you! P.S. I miss my grandparents, too. They were avid gardeners. If you have the time, let me know if this is helpful.

Good for you, Vincent! I usually put a few stems in a little jar in my kitchen window. The key here, I think, is to locate them where there is good light. Since it’s summer still, maybe even outside. Roses love sunshine. You might locate them in different places and see which one does best. Good luck! Hope you’re successful this time! Keep me posted, please!

Thank you, Carolyn!

So, Marsha, you tried the water and rose clipping in the window? Was it a sunny window? The window where I have these gets a lot of sunshine this time of the year. This is a good time of the year to try again. If you follow the steps in the post, you should be able to do it. I like the water method because I can see the callus forming, then, the roots. Notice that there is not a lot of water in the glass. If you like, you can come over to my Facebook page and share pictures and what you’re doing. Maybe we can figure out why you haven’t had success! Never give up!
