I love basal shoots, especially those with ready roots! This year, I got two Lilac and two this pink rogosa rose （Rosa rugosa f. rosea）from their basal shoots. Minimum effort for getting free plants!
One of the rogosa roses was already transplanted earlier, and the other still stayed in the pot till earlier today. I saw another basal shoot coming out and wanted to take a closer look.
Another signal that this plant is more than ready to be transplanted, so I decided to take it out from the pot.
Although the new shoot was in fact not suitable to be separated, I can see these two stems grew from two adventitious buds on the root.
Just like the below developing buds
Since both stems have sufficient root system...why not....
Voilà, now it became two independent plants. I added some slow released fertilizer in the soil and soaked them for a while.
When I brought them to the outdoor shelf, I noticed that more basal shoots are growing under the mother plant. Both had very few roots and still relied on the mother plant. As long as they have roots, it's fine.
So, here are another two plants. Because they had so few roots, I placed them somewhere without direct sunlight and let them rest for a couple of weeks.
