By vegetative propagation by grafting high quality scion on inferior quality stock.It is done by various means.ne of the joys of growing old roses is the fact that most of them thrive as own root plants; that is, they will grow as well - or better - from cuttings as they do when grafted onto a rootstock, the way most modern roses are grown and sold. Rooting cuttings is a relatively simple matter. It is the way most old roses were handed down from one family member or friend to another, and the way many old rose collectors prefer growing them today. Fortunately for us in Texas and the South, most of our better adapted old roses are particularly well adapted to growing on their own roots and can be successfully propagated by anyone interested in making the effort. Remember that roses still under patent (17 years from date of introduction) cannot be legally propagated without paying a royalty to the holder of the patent. \nSome old roses, like those in the Gallica and Rugosa classes, tend to sucker badly and may spread into areas where they are not welcome. If this is a concern, varieties that sucker may be grafted or budded onto a rootstock that does not have this characteristic, such as R. fortuniana or R. multiflora. \nThe following suggestions for rooting rose cuttings are not likely to result in 90 to 100 percent rooting, but neither do they require special structures, watering systems, or daily supervision. Success will vary because of the large number of variables involved, but many people report 50 to 75 percent of the cuttings they treat in this manner develop into usable plants.\nWhen to take the cuttings-\nRoses may be rooted at any time of the year, but for home gardeners, success is much more likely during the cool months from November through February. Late fall is a favorite time because there are usually a few blossoms still remaining on everblooming types to identify them.\nHow to take cuttings-\nThe easiest part of the rose to root is the tip of stems that have recently bloomed. Ideally, these tips have withered flowers, or hips, beginning to form. The flower heads or hips should be removed down to the first set of healthy leaves. Cuttings should be 6 to 8 inches long and be cut from the parent plant with a sharp knife or pruning shears at about a 45 degree angle. It is important that the cuttings not be allowed to dry out or be exposed to extreme heat or cold, at least until they are stuck into the rooting medium. Experienced old rose collectors often carry styrofoam ice chests, plastic bags, a small amount of water, and ice if they are likely to be in very hot conditions before getting the cuttings to the rooting area. Cuttings may be stored for several days in this manner, if necessary, but the sooner they are stuck, the better.\nPreparing the Cuttings-\nThe use of rooting hormones has been shown to increase the percentage of cuttings to root and the number of roots per cutting, but it is not necessary for success. Rooting hormones are commercially available in powder form and are popular with some rose growers. Others also like to use one-inch sections of cut branches from willows, cut both horizontally and laterally, to soak in a pan of water that has been brought to a rolling boil (rainwater is ideal). Allow the willow pieces to steep in the water overnight. It should look like weak tea. Remove the willow pieces and soak the rose cuttings in the concoction for several hours. It is helpful to recut the rose cuttings about a half-inch from the ends before placing in the willow water. Willow water may be prepared in advance to facilitate the process. It may also be used for the initial watering of the newly stuck cuttings. Although it sounds a bit far out, research at the Ohio State University has shown that willows (apparently any species of Salix) contain substances that can induce rooting and prevent ìdamping offî or canker in other plants. This substance can be successfully removed from the willow wood

Bulbs can reproduce in two ways. One being bulb increment. That is where the bulb grows to a rather large size and then splits into one or more new BULBETTES which are fed from the MOTHER bulb. These BULBETTES then continues to grow with the MOTHER bulb forming a new plant with the ability to sustain itself (eventually). The second way in which a bulb can reproduce is by seeding. When the flowers bloom they are then cross-pollinated like any other plant and the seeds begin to form

As a plant grows up ward it bears leaves on the sides of the upright stem.In the axile of every leaf( the point where the leaf stalk is attached to  the stem.), there is an axillary bud.This bud IS THE STARTING POINT OF A NEW BRANCH.\nAs long as the main stem continues to grow actively these axillary bud are dormant.But when the main stem stops growing or becomes slow in its growth, the axillary buds are activated by certain growth hormones that are produced naturally in the pant and the meristem tissue(embryonic or formative tissue) inside the buds begin to multiply and gradually begins to develop in to a side branch. It may be an ordinary vegetative branch like the main stem itself or a flowering branch.It depends upon the season,the age of the plant and the type of the hormone.\nIn Nutshell: In plants the branches develop from the meristem tissue.They are present in the buds and activated by hormones.\nFor more than this get hold of a proper botany book ( anatomy book) and study yourself.

with seeds. \nthey have flowers and then the little bees come...

Plants experience growth at the tip of the root / shoot which is the location of the apical meristem. (Meristem being the tissue that contains meristematic cells). \n\nHowever, vascular plants also have meristematic tissue called the vascular cambium. 'Inside' cells of the vascular cambium give rise to secondary xlyem cells while the 'outside' cells give rise to the secondary phloem cells.  \n\nAdditionally, woody plants have an additional meristematic tissue called the cork cambium, which forms the periderm (bark).\n\n\n---- \nCrudely put, the primary growth leads to elongation of the plant, while secondary growth increases its 'girth'

You should only use the cotton as a cultivator to get the seedlings to hatch.  Once a shoot has appeared transplant the sed ling to a small pot with bedding compost (get sterile stuff if you can).  Put the seedling about a pinky nails depth under the surface and cover & water.  Happy growing!

if you have no luck growing Kudzu you gotta brown thumb - you do need to keep the soil moist tho and it likes filtered sun not direct ( the young plants start in shaded areas only when older can they take sun )\n\noh yea you need a runner with a 'node' on it to propagate ( you won't have a lot of luck just using a random piece ) that is how it spreads in the wild and why it is so invasive it rarely propergates with seed

Nope. The seeds simply develop on the flower spike.

sunflowers are very easy to grow and a great teaching tool, you have many diffrent kinds , myself i love the red ones!  this is a large flowering plant that will need to be transplanted at about 6 inches outside, but you can start them inside useing small pots or cups if this is for children, place 2 seeds per container, pull the weaker one out if both come up, water as soon as the soil gets dry or at least once a week, place cups near a window, the flowers will not come untill late summer, then you can pick the seeds out after the flower starts to die, clean them, soak over night in very salty water, place wet seeds on a cookie sheat, then bake adding more salt on 400 in oven untill dry. this is a great snack, GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY!

Hi!  Have never planted flowers before until this spring.  I have had excellent luck so far.  What I did was I bought these little Jiffy starter disks at the garden section at Wal-Mart.  They come in a tray, and I bought the smallest ones they had.  You fill them with water and they grow into little pods of soil.  I planted my flower seeds (I planted pansies and petunias) 1/8 inch into the center of the pod, and put the cover on for a few days.  NOTE:  I put more than one seed in each pod...but my advice is to only put one seed in each.  I have sprouts growing all over at the moment!  When they sprouted I put them under plain old flourescent lights, and now after 2 weeks I need to transplant them into a hanging basket, because they have lots of roots and are thriving.  Good luck, hope this is helpful!!

Actually if we grow a plant( especially the trees) from its seed it may take a long time to flower. So if we do budding or grafting or layering the plant part will behave like the mature plant and we will get quick yield. Through seeds the plant may not produce the same quality seedlings like that of mother plant. Most often the undesired character can appear. In order to produce plant that has all the characters of the mother plants these methods are essential. In some plants like roses it is very difficult to produce seeds and it is very difficult to germinate also. So in that case these techniques are essential. In some cases the plant may have triploid and tetraploids which often may not produce seeds at all. More over, seedless varieties are preferred as in case of banana mostly the edible varieties are triploids. In some plants we may require thousands of progenies at a time (orchids, bananas etc). Then we will go for tissue culture. In tuber crops, ginger, turmeric etc he main propagation is through the tubers. I hope it is clear now.

Seeds when sown starts multiplying the cells and they grow as plant, flowers produce pollen grains which travels through air to produce plants.

Yes in Roses, Melons.By mechanically grafting the commercial scion onto a more vigorous and resistant root system from a hybrid plant, the  plant will develop many traits that will withstand the root infection and subsequent drought stress.

OK, I don't know how old you are, but I remember an old one from when I was a child.  Take a white carnation, and split its stem up the middle.  Fill two beakers with water, add food dye in contrasting colors to them (red and blue is good), and put half of the stem in each beaker.  In no time at all you will have a custom-colored carnation.\n\nOf course, it really does illustrate the water intake of plants, especially since this is a cut flower.  It makes the point that it's not just the roots, but all along the stem, and that a plant does not die quickly when it is separated from its roots, because the cells live on.  If they can get the nutrients they used to get from the roots, they are fine for awhile.  If they can grow new roots (many can, just in water; sweet potatoes are the classic), they can start their whole life cycle over without having to go through the seed in the soil routine.
