Floating Cell Propagation in Romania

Rosa Fairy cutting

Here's a video illustrating the international nature of experimentation in plant propagation, among other things. It shows floating cell propagation of Rosa "The Fairy" in 28 days. The experiments were done at the Cluj Research Station in Romania.   The results are impressive in spite of bad conditions and small cuttings.  The rooting media is plain tap water.  The researcher is Alexandru Fera. For more information and pictures, go to floating cell prop .
