How do I root cuttings from a Rose of Sharon bush?
Q. I have several very large White Rose of Sharon bushes here in Georgia, USA and want to make a 600 foot long property division fence using cuttings from the bushes. What time of year do I do that and how do I do it?

A. I use root tone and always try to root plants in 3 gallon pots w/ cheap soil as long as you are not rooting plants in a green house. And put them in part shade (morning sun and afternoon shade) till they are rooted and show new growth (6-8 wees minimum). Put 6-7 cuttings per pot. I have a double pink althea and I rooted some babies this way.

I planted a bush out in the yard. I believe it's a sharon bush the ones that get flowers on them.?
Q. It's been 3 days but the leaves are looking dry. I have been keeping plenty of water on it. Is it just in shock from being replanting. Will it perk up soon? The base of the tree looks o.k. It had been growing along side the house. It's 4 ft. high. I have other bushes just like it growing between my neighbor and I. yes the leaves are curled the tree is a wild one that was growing along side the house. I was going to throw it away but thought I would just plant it somewhere else. This is great information I am getting. Thanks.

A. Rose of Sharon (althea) is a very easy to transplant bush/tree (depending on how you prune it) I have transplanted these plants many times, some of them being 6 ft. tall at the time. The larger the plant, the more shock it is going to exhibit. Just keep watering it everyday and eventually it will start to perk up. You just can't hardly kill them. They can also be easily rooted in water or better yet in sandy soil with rooting compound.. I'm pretty sure your tree is going to be fine.

Asked by Rosemarie H - Tue Jul 15 07:13:06 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Rose of Sharon can take a hard pruning and still come back. If the branches are soft and pliable, that means the plant is not dead. You can tell by snipping of just the very top of a branch. If the inside of the branch where you snipped of a tiny piece is green, that branch is still alive. Rose of Sharon is often late to get there leaves, and does not usually flower untill about September. Give or take a few days. Cloning Rose of Sharon is an easy task. I have done it many times just from a clipping, or a branch. You need some seed started mix, or some good light wait potting soil. You can use regul;ar ground soil but you will need to mix it with peat moss to lighten it up. You can also root a branch in water. But be sure to change out… [cont.]

A. We have lots of Rose of Sharon's'. They start from just a blue and white bush, and they seeded hundreds. We cut them down all the time, and they come back from the roots. To kill one, you have to keep cutting the suckers down until it finally gives up and dies. Ours will grow about 4 ft. per summer. It takes a two years to have an 8 ft. bush and flowers. 3 yrs for a 12 to 15 ft. bush and lots of flowers.

Propagating rose of sharon bush and a butterfly bush....?

A. You need to take a cutting of new growth off of the butterfly bush and stick it in slightly moist potting soil and it should root within a week or two. I've tried it myself and it works. The same would probably work for the rose of sharon too.

A. Be patient! The cold may have killed off the primary buds but there's a back up system. It takes time to initiate...if the plant was healthy last few seasons. Now Rose of Sharon flowers on new growth, that is stuff produced this year. So in theory it could still flower; however, the plant will use a lot of stored energy to over come the freeze damage and may not have enough energy to flower this year. There's always next year. Have faith in little Rose of Sharon, she has been knocked back, probably not knocked out.

However, there's a chorus of his coherts, the neocons who designed the Iraq war which is such a disaster, that have been urging us to attack Iran. You could say that the Israeli assault on Lebanon was a skirmish, in these neocon's minds. Last I heard, we had a few battleships near Iran. If we attack Iran, that will be the start of World War 3. I think this won't happen, as there are enough US generals who realize it would be a disaster times 10.

A. Rose of Sharon can be trimmed and maintained so they form a hedge row. But as all flowering plants you must wait till after the blooms are gone.Just trim the plant to what ever hieght you want. Remember that you must seal all wounds to the plant so that desease and bugs do not get in. This can be done by applying a thin layer of Elmers glue to the wound.

A. Prillville has got a good point. I prune mine in the very late fall, after the leaves have fallen. It is easier to see the branches and make pruning decisions then. I only ever remove 12-18 inches off of mine, to maintain a height. Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) blooms on the current seasons growth, so if you prune it after it leafs out, you might ruin the bloom. Again I prune mine late in the year, about Thanksgiving (in Michigan), you could do it in the spring before it leafs out (maybe early April in Michigan). Be sure to keep it watered in the fall, as Rose of Sharon is susceptible to fall droughts. An application of ESPOMA 'hollytone' in the fall would be a good fertilizer to ensure a healthy spring!
