i work at a commercial greenhouse. we have a heated floor and a mist system. i have been propagating roses off and on this fall with limited success. i stick cuttings in 6-paks. i use my regular growing mix. some root immediately and others rot. i use a variety of sizes of stems. some thicker and some thinner. after reading some of the posts, i intend to mix extra perlite into the mix for drainage. i put the cuttings on the cool end of the greenhouse. i mist them every hour for 2 seconds. i turn off the mist at night. i usually leave 2-3 leaves, and cut them down by half.
my questions are:
what age of wood should i be using now. should i be using hardwood now, and store them in the fridge for awhile to callous, and then plant them, or just direct stick them.
how often should i be misting.
