Propagating Roses from Cuttings with Susan Calhoun
Limited to 10 participants | No Member Discounts Available
Spend a winter afternoon learning one of the most satisfying garden skills: starting new roses from cuttings. Rose enthusiast Susan Calhoun will guide you through a clear, reliable process—how to choose the right stems, make clean cuts, prepare the cuttings for rooting, and set them up for strong success.
We’ll begin in the Vista Gardens library for a short, accessible introduction, then move into the greenhouse for a hands-on session. You’ll take cuttings in the garden with Susan’s guidance, prep them step-by-step in class, and head home with your own ready-to-root cuttings—plus the confidence to repeat the process on your own.
