THE AUSTRALIAN GARDENER 
JULY 1, 1902. 
The number of subjects that can be rooted 
from cuttings in water is much larger than is 
generally credited. Amongst them are roses, 
although they are seldom increased in this 
way. As a novelty it has its interesting 
features. A mode of striking cuttings of this 
kind in bottles of soft water is a plan as 
simple as it is practicable, inasmuch as cut- 
tings taken off at at any time during the 
summer will root in this way in from five to

six weeks, after which they should be potted 
carefully in light sandy soil, and: placed in a 
cold frame for a week or so until established, 
when they are ready for planting where 
wanted. The cuttings should be cut clean 
below an eye or joint, and none of the bark 
bruised. It is a help to make one or two 
other cuts between the lower eyes, but low 
enough to be under water.The ,bottles*2may 
be of any convenient size, and may be placed

in the greenhouse or room window, as the 
only attention they require is the filling up 
of the bottle with water as it evaporates. 
Another plan, after rooting is to fill up the 
bottle with a compost of light soil, and then 
pour off as much as possible of the water. 
When the soil is fairly dry the bottles can be 
broken, and the young plants potted on. 
Impatius Sultani, English Ivy, Nasturtiums,and 
many other things will readily root this way.
