Propagate roses with potatoes and honey.
First, prepare honey solution. It has antiseptic properties and provides energy and nutrition. Dissolve 3 ml of honey to 50 ml of boiled water; cool.
Cut a piece of rose bush, about 8–9 inches of new growth from an existing plant, removing the stem at an angle of about 45-degrees. Snip the leaves, flowers, and thorns.
Dip cut stem in the cooled honey solution.
Take a potato, removing eyes so that you will not be yielding a potato plant. Pierce a 3 inch hole into the potato and put the rose stalk into the hole. Put the potato-based stalk about 4 inches into a pot of moistened soil.
A clear glass bottle can be used as a portable greenhouse cover.
