Success with DA cuttings

| Has anyone tried to strike cuttings of David Austin roses? If so, which ones were successful and how did you do it?
I,ve got a number of one month old Crocus Rose cuttings in a pot at the moment which are still alive, but it's too early to see if they will root successfully. |

Hi Johnnirose,
I tend to stick bits of prunings into the ground at times.
I have cutting grown Lordly Oberon,The Prioress and William Morris.
These ones strike quite easily.
Leave your cuttings undisturbed until you can see roots coming from the bottom of the pot-then you will know they have taken and you can transplant them.
I want to try some others too and will have a go at Jude the Obscure,Heritage,The Prince,The Squire,Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Prospero(I love the dark red/purpley ones).
All I need to do is get organised(I've been saying that my whole life and it hasn't hapened yet-probably won't at this late stage) :)
Anyway have a go-you have nothing to lose and new plants to gain.
regards
sandie |

| I've succeeded with Graham Thomas (not sure of the spelling and too lazy to go downstairs to check)) and Mayor of Casterbridge. |

| How long does it take from start and then to bloom? |

| Two years, in my experience, but others may have had different outcomes? |
RE: Success with DA cuttings

| I took the cuttings in June 2003, grew them in a pot under a tree before transferring them to the ground in September 2004. First blooms appeared in December 2004. |

| How do you remember to water a pot religiously for 2 years? I am not that reliable? |

| I would normally 'hide' the pots close to the sprinklers amongst the roses; especially when I go on holidays. :)) |

| I have to go in a minute to pick up my kids, I have only just read this message. I grew two bigish shade houses of cutting grown roses this year, David Austins, Old Fashioneds, Hybrid Teas, and a few Rugosas. I have them in creek sand and keep them well watered during Autum and Winter. I have been panting them out in the garden sinc late Winter to now, a few you loose, but the ones that get going give you great joy when they start shooting and you know they will do well then. They also do very well in the pots, I transfere there into dirt during Spring, but I still have quite a few doing well still in sand. I find the ones I put into dirt in Spring are now transfering well into the garding after some good rain. Got to go now but I will get back here when I can. |

| Have had success with Golden Celebration, Happy Child and the Squire, I take cuttings all year round,- friends gardens, cemeteries, etc method much the same as Karen, trouble is now finding somewhere to put them! This year am going to concentrate on Alister Clarks roses, sourcing cuttings for them is not easy up here though. |

Hi Janm ! I am now putting in two of the longest hedges across from my new little two story steel shed/house. All done with roses come frome my cuttings. It will give us privacy and start my new garden across from my other garden I have been working on the last three years. I lost two young grafted Alister Clark roses this last season ( though not in a real good spot and I negleted them with water a bit when I was caring more for my new Hybrid
Teas) the other three havn't done well eigther. I have a few slowly grown as cuttings from 2003, Ringlet and Nancy Hayward. I got some cuttings of Lorraine Lee this year. I want to start a long rose swag of Alister Clark that are cutting grown, grown in my better soil. I wonder Janm, if there would let you take cuttings at the Alister Clark garden at Bulla, at the Church, if you go there when they are prunning. They let me do it at the Cowra tourist rose garden, when they were pruning. I have wondered about asking them myself, but I live up here in N.S.W. so its a bit of a trip. Especially if some or half of them don't strike. |
