Expert Answer

Yes, you can. Dig a hole approximately 1 foot deep and 18 inches wide with a mound of soil in the middle. Carefully cut the soil around the existing rose bush and remove the entire root ball. Once transplanted, layer soil around the plant, then water and wait for it to drain, repeating with two or three more soil layers.

Expert Answer

Yes, simply remove a cutting of approximately 6 inches from a plant and root it in soil with about half of the length in the soil. Make sure to dip the cutting in rooting hormone powder and then place it in soil with a jar over it for about two weeks.

Yes with proper care they definitely can. Many gardeners recommend adding a sugar water solution to the soil as well as trimming the plant a little and keeping the soil moist.

Roses typically enjoy a good amount of sunlight, so any spot that will be sunny for most of the day.

Question

What do I do with the plant now that it is growing fine in the pot I started it in? Now it is winter and I have brought it in the house, but is that what I should do? It does get cold in Utah and it is looking good with several leaves.

Community Answer

When the temperature begins to drop it is always a good idea to bring potted plants indoors to help them survive the winter months.
