at least one pair of leaves should remain in the upper part
plant in a pot (the top leaves should look out)
plant out in May

Propagate with the help of runners

The dog rose is happy to develop root runners. Over the years they turn it into an impenetrable thicket. They can also be used to propagate the plant.

When propagating via the root runners, the runners or shoots are separated with a spade. The best time is in spring or autumn before budding. After separation, the shoots are shortened to 1/3 and planted in a suitable substrate. They should be watered there regularly over the course of the next few months so that new roots form quickly.
