These were bare root cuttings a few weeks ago of the Confederate Rose. I have been watering the Brugs and the Rose with rain water,no fertilizing.

I did dust the stems with rooting compound before I popped them in the dirt pots, but that is all I did other than watering. They are in the basement and get some Western light through a window and they get some florescent lighting when I do the laundry.
