How to grow rose clippings in a potato

A potato is a perfect vegetable to grow rose cuttings, as it is full of nutrients and supplies moisture.

Your clipping will need to come from a mature rose bush with flowers around 200 mm long.

Once you have your clippings, keep them moist in a bucket of water while you ready your potato. 

Trim another 10mm off the end, cutting on the diagonal.  

Next, you will need to dip the end in a hormone gel or dust. Alternatively, one gardening expert says vegemite will also do the trick.  

Create a hole in your potato that is slightly smaller than your cutting. Plant in the ground with at least three inches of good soil covering it.
