Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS Community Ut Makes Cents s'XXCn J Dear Vi: Our elderly neighbor starts roses from cuttings and when they have developed into nice little rose bushes, he shares them with neighbors and friends. Isnt that a lovely, thoughtful thing to do? Iris Buchanan, St. George, Ut It certainly is. Roses are surprisingly easy to start from cuttings. Our neighbors, Eastona and LaVon Blackburn, have gorgeous roses, all started this way. I had no idea, however, until I tried it myself, how easy this is to do. Tear rather than cut strong supple stems in such away thatyouhave abud on the end. Some say the cutting will sproutmore quickly ifyou insert a kernel of wheat in a slit in the tom end. Trim your cutting to six or so inches, remove most of the leaves, and bury the cut end in loose soil, leaving several inches exposed. Put a jar over the cutting, keep it damp. When new leaves appear (this may take as long as six to eight weeks) your little new rose bush is ready to come out of its mini hot house. The cuttings can be planted where you want the rose bushes to grow or you can start them in pots to be transplanted later. Many outdoor and indoor plants and shrubs can be started from cuttings. Consult a gardening book from the library for more detailed instructions and save yourself some money on your landscaping. It Makes Cents."
