| I read the post on starting florist roses and thought I'd like to try the same. Wife received no name roses from New Years guests. Put them in water for 7 days and followed the instructions on the other post dealing with florist roses. Slit ends and cut off bloom, put in potting soil (all I had in house) and watered. Questions: What do you use for a mini green house (space is limited)? Is it OK to mist leaves once in a while? Thanks for all suggestions and Info. Pembroke |

| Here is what I do. I use these cheap wooden skewers that i found in the supermarket and I poke several into the soil around the edge of the cup. I then put the whole thing into a small clear plastic bag, the kind that you find in the produce aisle at the supermarket that tear off from the large rolls. The purpose of the wooden sticks is to keep the bag from laying on the leaves. A rubber band on top will keep it sealed and until you get roots I would not mist them because the sealed bag provides plenty of humdity:) |

| Tenting with a plastic bag will help keep them moist in the house. Depending on what size cup you used you can also use a soda pop bottle cut to fit. You want to keep them evenly moist, not to wet or dry. |
