A practical guide to plant propagation

M. G. Kains’s guide organizes plant propagation around the methods gardeners use to raise and multiply plants: cuttings, layering, division, and seeds. Its contents also give particular attention to roses, including propagation by cuttings and approaches to layering, alongside a chapter on fungus affecting the cutting bench. The coverage moves from preparation and planning into specific techniques, making the book a method-focused reference for home and professional growing. This edition is described as a modern reissue with a new introduction on the history of gardening.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home gardeners seeking an introduction to plant propagation methods.
  • Professional growers interested in a reference covering seeds, cuttings, layering, and division.
  • Gardeners particularly interested in rose propagation.
