Weird Bloom Time for Cuttings??

8 years ago

I have noticed when propagating shrubs that some of them start blooming after rooting even if the time of year is not consistent with the shrub's normal bloom time. For instance, I took cuttings from a Japanese rose (Kerria Japonica) in late spring after it had finished blooming, they rooted in 4 weeks or so, and they have been blooming non-stop since. It's August! Not only is this not the time of year for that shrub to bloom, but that bloom period (close to 2 straight months now) is.. a bit long.
What's going on?
