Modern Ways Ease
Chore Of Rose Slips
BY w. II. YOUNGMAN
star Garden Editor

The growing OF roses from
slips is as old as gardening.
Today's modern practices. how
ever, make 1t more certain and
less Of q chore than did yester-
years methods. Polyethylene
bags. roofing hormones and
good slips are the essentials
for growing your own.
Before accepting q slip from
q friend 1t Is well to make cer-
tain that the slip came from o
good vigorously growing bush.
Today's commercial propaga-
tion does not always result in
strong growing bushes. For ex-
ample the lovely Crimson Glory
was over-propagated and most
of the bushes In local gardens
can hardly be described as
vigorously growing big bushes.
Thus. it is best to select the
Islips from big, healthy bushes
II your slip is to perform as you
would wish.
Source Of Best Slips
The best slips come from
shoots that are q foot or more
in length. Take them when the
flower is open. As soon as it
fades. remove the topmost leaf
and spent bloom. cutting just
above the next to topmost leaf.
The stem then should have
three or four perfect leaves (5-
parted. Cut the stem below
the bottom leaf-about "a inch.
Dig the butt into q roofing
hormone. There are two or
three on the market. Knock the
excess hormone powder on by
tapping the stem against some
solid object.
The slip is now ready for
the roofing media. Roses seem
to do best In clean. sharp sand.
To take care Of this preference
and to provide q suitable
growing media after the roots
form, q good practice Is: Take
q 3 or 4-inch flower pot, place
drainage material in the bot
tom, stand q small round piece
OF wood one inch wide in the
center and I'LL the pot with a
mixture Of equal parts Of COM
post or peat moss, sand and
loan. lamp firmly, remove the
stick and all the hole left with
clean sharp sand. Water moder-
stely. and insert the slip in the
sand. Allow to stand for q
few hours for the excess water
to drain away.
j Keep In Light Shade
When the excess water has
drained away. place q wire hoop
above the cutting so that the
polyethylene cover does not
touch the leaves. Place the pot
in o freezer bag and tie the top
so that moisture win not
escape. The Job is done and no
further attention need be given
the slip until 1t Is well rooted
and growing. Keep the pot in
a lightly shaded situation since
the cutting would cook" II
given full sun, but 1t would not
develop fully In o heavily
shaded situation.
/ One word Of caution: the
Isoil should not be wet when
enclosed In the bag. Damp Is
the better description Of the
soil moisture.
