Rose of Sharon cuttings

Hi all...first want to say how much I have enjoyed being a member of DG! I have soaked up so much information since I joined just a few weeks ago!

I am wanting to get a few cuttings off of a friend's Rose of Sharon. I am pretty much a newbie to all this, so didn't want to do the cutting without first knowing how and ending up ruining the cuttings.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Rhonda

One of your simplier shrubs.Take a cutting 3-4 inches long from desired shrub,strip all but 3 leaves,dip in rootone,and put it in a mix of sand and peat moss,in a pot,temporarely cover with clear plastic(garbage bag),in the shade,mist every other day.After 4-6 weeks remove plastic,and let it get use to sun light gradualy,plant in its location in the fall Mike
