    I just come across your article about roses. Thank you for this write up.

    I want to grow roses, too, but I am not sure how to start. I have seen some roses sold in our market, but not sure if they will thrive in my backyard.

    May I ask some questions?

    Can you plant the stem of roses sold as cut flowers?
    How can I test my soil? (sorry for this question for I really don’t know)

    I am also a newbie in gardening, but the experience is so exhilarating. My husband told me I am so excited in gardening to the point that I am impatiently watching its daily growth.

    • My friend had given me a bouquet of roses which were ordinary but not grafted. Every stem grew and i had 8 different coloured roses.

      • oh wowwwww! So happy for you! How I wish I could grow it too!

        I will not wait for somebody to give roses, I’ll buy one immediately!

        But how will I grow them? Will I plant it directly on the ground or have it linger in water until it grows its roots?

        Your reply would surely be a great help!

        Thanks!

        • You can wait till the roses fade. cut off the roses and reduce the number of leaves and then plant them in soil

          • Thanks for the reply.

            It seems so easy the way you describe it! I hope for me, it will be that easy too. I will try to message you if ever I succeeded in growing roses.

            As to when? I don’t know. I hope soon!
