A rose is the most beautiful flower. Roses come in different colors and they are widely grown in many households today.

They are easy to grow and relatively easy to reproduce. You can reproduce rose plants from the cuttings of a healthy plant.

You can follow these steps to grow your own rose garden along with patience, love and time.

1.When you plan to reproduce your rose garden, use sturdy pots or planters to plant your cuttings in. Use potting mix to fill up the planters about one quarter of the way.

2.You can use perlite to make the soil loose so that the water drains out easily. Before, you mix in the perlite dampen it well so that it mixes well with the soil.

3.When you take a rose to cut. Make sure that the rose has an original flower or a stem that is attached to it.

4.Remove the bottom leaf from the stem and cut the bottom of the stem about 1/6 inch below from where the bottom leaf was attached.

5.Take the rose cutting and cut in a few more times into the stem.

6.Dip the cut end of the stem in to the soil and let it soak for a minute or two. This will help the cutting take root into the soil.

7.Using a pencil poke holes into the soil. Slide the cutting carefully into the soil and pat it gently to get rid of the air pockets. Water the soil.

8.Using bamboo sticks to stake out a few into the pot. Use a plastic bag to cover the whole plant.

9.Make sure that the plant doesn't not run out of water. Keep it moist always. See to it that the plant doesn't dry.

10.In no time you will see brand new rose plants growing from your planter.
