Using honey as a natural rooting agent to save a dying rose plant can be an effective and eco-friendly solution. Here’s how to do it:

Steps to Save a Dying Rose Plant Using Honey:

1. Inspect the Plant
• Check for signs of root rot, pests, or disease. Remove any black, mushy, or dead roots with sanitized scissors.
2. Prepare the Honey Solution
• Mix 1 tablespoon of pure honey with 2 cups of warm water to make a diluted solution. Alternatively, use undiluted honey directly as a rooting gel.
3. Trim and Prepare the Stem
• If the roots are too damaged, cut a healthy stem (4–6 inches long) with at least 2-3 nodes (leaf joints). Remove the bottom leaves and any flowers to conserve energy.
4. Apply Honey to the Stem
• Dip the cut end of the stem in honey, ensuring the lower nodes are coated. Honey helps stimulate root growth and prevents bacterial infections.
5. Plant in Fresh Soil
• Use well-draining soil with organic matter. Plant the honey-treated stem or plant in a small pot. Ensure good airflow and sunlight but avoid direct harsh sun.
6. Water Appropriately
• Water the soil lightly to keep it moist, but do not overwater. Roses prefer consistent but not soggy conditions.
7. Provide a Stable Environment
• Cover the pot loosely with a clear plastic bag to create a humid greenhouse effect. This helps reduce stress and encourages root growth.
8. Monitor Growth
• Roots typically form within 2–3 weeks. Gradually remove the plastic cover once new leaves appear.

Honey works as an antimicrobial agent, preventing infection while promoting healthy root development. Keep the plant in partial shade and give it time to recover.
