Professional Grower Exposes Fake Rose Propagation Videos

Many viewers have contacted me (especially recently!) to ask about fantastic looking propagation videos where roses are grown from flower buds, leaves, seeds or in aloe or potato slices! In this video I’ll go through some of the suspected fake rose videos and discuss how they’ve made basic botanical mistakes - and show you some of the “tells“ that you’re seeing staged propagation. If your first question is “why“ - why would they go through the trouble to fake propagation, here’s my follow-up video: I’ve used videos and thumbnails from some of the “usual suspects“ (I’m looking at you Johnson Engleng!) and I’ll be happy to defend the fair use of those clips for the purposes of criticism. If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out: Send a tip: Have a look at our Amazon shop: Drop us a “Like“ on our Facebook business page: Leave a review of our farm on Google: Photo Credits: Seedlings by Conall (Flickr) CC BY 2.0
