Same as fuschsias it seems.

Thanks Joe, I have bookmarked and sent it to Mr Cinds too.

We're quite, in that moment you feel when someone has died that everything is significant.  But I chose roses for the house as his mother was Rose, and it seemed fitting to have roses in the house during our mourning of his father.

But I should say we have had roses in our house many time, but never have they sprouted, but it's nice that we can think this time it's significant.

Ha ha my dad took fuchsia cuttings wherever he went! Have some fabulous 'standard' plants of his some older than me

That would be a lovely way to remember him Cinds. My condolences to you and Mr. Cinds x

Don't trim it off yet Cinds,feed the roses and let the off shoot grow and thrive a little longer.Before you do cut it make sure you have some rooting powder and fresh soil,don't use old soil in case it harbours any bacteria.

Thanks Lee, I really am useless when it comes to gardening and stuff like that.

I've just told Mr Cinds your advice, we're garden centre shopping tomorrow.

Cinds when you do pot it up make sure you give it a good old water  put the pot in a food bag and tie it,spray it with water every day,it's important you keep it moist.When you see it starting to sprout little leaves take it from the bag but still make sure to keep it moist.Good luck,I hope they *Take* for you.

Thank you Lee 

You're welcome,I forgot to say keep it out of direct sunlight,somewhere warm but not in the sun,not that we have much sunlight atm Originally Posted by Cinds:

Thank you Lee 

Hehe a quote gone wrong.

But I did get the message, thank you.

In the event this doesn't work Cinds, just buy a plant to plant, if you know what I mean?  Now is the time to order one. 

When my M&D had their Golden Anniversary I bought them a rose called Golden Celebration. When my mum died last year he planted one called Remember Me for her.

The supplier that both came from was David Austin Roses. He does more classic styled roses than the currently fashionable ones.  

They aren't that expensive and you'll get flowers within a year or so if you can plant it in spring. 

You can buy bare stem roots  roses for planting about now for the garden

Thank you all for the advice.  The point of the roses was that Mr Cinds mothers name was Rose and we chose roses to have in the house as respect to his dads passing. So them sprouting regrowth meant a lot to us.

Anyway, we are going to try to replant the new growths, but if they don't take, I have found this Rose plant, but I will probs buy it anyway.  The Rose is called Danny Boy.
