MANHATTAN ROSE SOCIETY EVENTS
Manhattan Rose Society presents
Steve Roussell, Hydration Propagation of Roses
Thursday, March 19, 2026, 7pm ET, via Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to members the week of the meeting.
Learn about a unique way to propagate roses, Hydration Propagation from expert rosarian and hybridizer Steve Roussell. Steve will show us how to root cuttings by keeping them from drying out or hydrated. He will also demonstrate two different grafting methods that would be easy and interesting for you to try at home.
Steve Roussell is a member of the Southwest Louisiana Rose Society, Houston Rose Society, and three other local societies, as well as the ARS and Rose Hybridizers Association. He and his wife Carmen have been growing roses at their home in Lake. Charles, Louisiana for more than 45 years. Steve started hybridizing in 2010 and successfully turned his rose growing hobby into a profession.
Steve is interested in creating roses with fragrance, vigor, disease resistance and either good garden rose or show rose form. Some of his varieties now in commerce include: 'Clovie', 'Vibrant Vonnie', 'Liz's Charm', 'American Maid' and 'Rocket'. They are available at either Wisconsin Roses or K&M Roses. He has shared his knowledge about rose hybridizing at the ARS National Convention in Milwaukee and at rose society meetings across the country.
