Potato Roses

Did you know that potatoes can help roses develop strong and healthy roots? If you want to grow your own rose garden, you can easily propagate the roses with the help of potatoes. Just cut a piece of rose bush and snip off the leaves, flowers, and thorns. Create a hole on the potato about 3 inches deep and place the rose piece in. Place it in a pot of moistened soil and then cover the rose piece with a soda bottle to act as its greenhouse.

soda bottle do you mean a pop bottle?

No a soda bottle

My Dad used spuds to propagate his roses like that, when they were established he would bury banana skins around the base to feed them.

My Father passed away yesterday. He was ill for a couple of weeks l...So why am I surprised? Just a rhetorical quesion, no need to reply.

Why are you surprised?

Because your dad was going to live forever, just like mine was.

Heartfelt condolences. mac.

Condolences Mac, sorry for your loss mate.
