Growing wild or cultivated in the garden, as jam or tea. Discover which rose varieties produce particularly tasty rose hips and how to best use them in the kitchen.

Not all roses form runners. However, we can use another method to create identical plants. This is possible because plants have the ability to form roots from the shoot, i.e., the stem or leaf. We take advantage of this ability. Cutting propagation is one of the oldest methods of plant propagation.

Grafting still plays a primary role in propagating the countless rose varieties. However, propagation from cuttings is becoming increasingly popular. Wild roses and rootstocks are sown. Some species can also be propagated from root cuttings, such as R. nitida and R. virginiana. Propagation from wood cuttings is also an option, such as with R. multiflora.
