Is it possible to root cuttings of Lady Bank's rose? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Kerai

    I think it is possible. I cut some earlier this summer and put them in dirt. One seems to have taken. I did use Rootone.

    Thanks for your reply.It wasn't forwarded to me by GW, so I didn't know. I also put some in dirt and with rooting hormone, for a while they seemed to be doing fine and then I lost them. My rooting hormone might not have worked. Time to get a new one :-) Did you put it in shade? Thanks again.

    Yes, it's been in shade the whole time and I keep the soil moist. I also removed all but one leaf.

    Hi, Annie,
    I have the double white. Wonderful fragrance. I've never heard of a pink Lady Banks!

    I also have never heard of a Pink one. Thought only there are yellow and white. I don't have any yet - got few cuttings from a friend and lost them. Thanks for the info. I'd try again.

    I live in Columbia,SC too.

    Well,

    I guess Lady Bank's doesn't come in a pink variety. Perhaps what I saw was mislabled, or maybe the white blooms turn pinkish when they age. My New Dawn roses change from a soft, pale pink to a deep pink as they age. That might explain why it was pink.
    I would love to have a white one.

    Lady Bank's are not supposed to do well in my zone - too cold in winter - but I planted mine against the front porch (concrete base) on the southwest corner. It gets winter protection and winter southern sun, plus benefits from the sun's heat absorbed by the concrete and bricks. Anyway, it has become a mass of a rose canes and is covered in delicate yellow blooms in the spring. I just love it. It makes the daintiest little rose hips, too.

    Thanks guys,
    Annie

    Just search for propagating Lady Banks Roses and found this old thread. I purchased 3 last year that were labeled "Purple" but the actual blooms appear to be more pink to me. I also purchase 3 yellow. The year before I got 6 white and thought that was all I could ever get. I used them on every other post of my 4 foot chain link fence to make a privacy screen.

    I want to try to propagate the purple one so I can give some away to a friend. I'll try some of your methods.

    Thanks!

    Will lady's bank rose do OK in shade?

  • 17 years ago

    I have several yellow and was told that is the only color it comes in. I would love to swap cutting with pink. Please drop me an email and do it.
    Thanks.

    There is a white-flowered form of the Lady Banksia rose (_Rosa banksiae alba_) that is available from high quality mail-order nurseries like ForestFarm.
