Current research was performed with the goal of investigating latest vegetative propagation method dogrose (Rosa canina), which mainly used as rootstock for hybrid tea scion varieties. A mixture of cocopeat and perlite was found effective for rooting stem cuttings having a size of 10 cm and with two leaves. Treatment of graft portion with 5000 ppm IBA in stentling method showed higher graft success (68.7%) and root number (2.09) with cv. Dolcevita. IBA treatment at the graft portion was more successful than control cuttings and was ready for transplant, i.e., 20 days earlier.
