Propagating Geraniums and Roses!

So, at Hidden Valley we are always trying to find ways to keep our grounds as beautiful as possible. We like to see our gardens green and full of color with the wide variety of flowers and plants we have. An easy way we’ve been keeping it green is by propagating the many colors of geraniums we have around the property with very successful results. Every time we trim a geranium we stick the stem into the ground and a new plant will grow. Just lately, we decided to expand this project to propagating the many heirloom varieties of roses that Dr. Jensen planted. We did not realize how easy it can be to propagate roses, with just one extra step it can be as easy as propagating geraniums. You cut at least a 6” piece of stem, preferably one with new growth, dip it in root hormone and plant it in potting soil. Covering it with a mason jar to create a mini green house is optional depending on the weather. How wonderful is that?!

We will keep you posted on how our cuttings do!
