The Propagation of Rose Moss Plants If you're looking for a plant that's easy to grow while providing plenty of color and blooms throughout the summer months, look no farther than rose moss. This hardy plant comes in every color but blue, needs little water, thrives in the heat and will spread to fill in the bare spots in your garden. Better yet, it grows from easy-to-obtain seeds or cuttings.   Rose Moss Characteristics Portulaca grandiflora, the scientific name for rose moss (also called moss rose). The flowers resemble small roses with moss-like leaves, hence the name. The earliest plants had five petals in their blossoms, but the current hybrids may have many more than that.   Planting Rose Moss Seeds The seeds are very small. Keep them in an air-tight jar over the winter, then plant them outside when all cool temperatures has past by scattering them over the desired area. You may also plant them in small containers indoors, allowing six to eight seeds per container. Plant the seeds or young plants in full sun in well-drained soil.   Vegetative Cuttings The seeds from hybrid rose moss plants are rarely planted, as the resulting plants may not look like the originals. To make sure the new plants look like the old ones, use vegetative cuttings. Create new plants from hybrids by dividing the plant when it is larger or by taking a stem cutting, removing the leaves and placing it in a starting mix. You may also want to dab the freshly cut end in a root hormone before planting. They should take root in a few weeks.
