Using a single rose bud to grow a rose bush is a simple, easy way to start your garden or add to it. This method of rose planting is also a money saver, since transplanting an entire rose bush can be more time consuming and expensive than just using a single bud. If you're an avid rose lover, these instructions will work with many different rose varieties, so you can create a full rose garden with just a few buds.
Things You'll Need
Rose bud with stem attached
Chopstick or knitting needle
Hammer
Small knife
Gloves
Hormone powder treatment
Large glass jar
Water
Cultivating the Bud
Make a hole in the ground to place the stem of the bud using a chopstick or knitting needle. Use a hammer to pound the chopstick or knitting needle into the ground if the soil you're planting in is really dense.
Make several small cuts in the stem of the rose bud using a small knife while wearing gloves. Smooth hormone powder over each small cut.
Place the rose bud stem into the hole you've made in the soil. Push the stem as deeply and securely into the hole as possible, getting the bud as close down to the soil as you can.
Place a jar over the rose bud. This will protect the rose bud from weather elements while it grows.
Water the bud regularly if you planted it during the summer. If you plant the rose bud during the fall, however, just water the rose bud once and then leave it alone until the spring. Remove the jar when you see new growth.
