Why is vegetative propagation practised for growing some types of plants?

Vegetative propagation is practised for growing some types of plants because:

1. Plants raised by vegetative propagation can bear flowers and fruits earlier than those produced from seeds.
2. Such methods also make possible the propagation of plants such as banana, navel orange, rose and jasmine that have lost the capacity to produce seeds.
3. All plants produced are genetically similar enough to the parent plant to have all its characteristics. This result in uniformity in produce.
