A rose plant blooms flowers of different colors (what breeding method is used to bloom multiple colors of flowers)

Making roses bloom in three different colors is an effect pursued by many flower lovers. For novices in growing roses, this is an exciting thing. How can a rose bloom in three colors?

It's amazing. I had the same feeling when I first saw it 10 years ago. But for rose experts, this is child's play. If you want to make a rose bloom in three colors, there are generally two ways.

Grafting method

If you want to achieve three colors or even multiple colors on one rose plant, grafting is the only way. Some netizens have sent me a private message before, asking what is the difference between rose grafting and cuttings?

The biggest difference between grafting and cuttings is that one rose can grow into multiple colors, and this is also the charm of grafting.

When grafting multi-color roses, we can choose rose stems for grafting, because rose stems grow rapidly and are helpful for the later growth of roses.

We can also use roses, roses, osmanthus and other Rosaceae plants as rootstocks for grafting. The methods that can be used include chip bud grafting, T-bud grafting, bark grafting, cleft grafting, cut grafting, and socket grafting.

These methods vary in difficulty. For grafting novices, it is recommended to use bud grafting, cleft grafting, and bark grafting. They are simple to learn and have a high survival rate.

When it comes to grafting multi-color roses, many flower lovers think that this is very simple and that most people can do it, but it still requires skills to graft them well.

Many times some flower lovers have high expectations but lack the skills, and have too little practical experience. They only learn theory, and when they start to do it themselves, they realize that they do many things poorly.

When grafting multi-color roses, it is very important for us to choose the scion variety. It is recommended that you choose varieties with similar plant shape, similar growth potential, and even flowering at the same time to graft onto a rose. Why should we make this choice?

Imagine if you grafted three varieties, namely, Longza Gem, Canary and Super Micro, together, even if they survived, you would have to cut them off and re-graft them.

Because the differences between these three varieties are too big, Rosa Chrysantha is a large climbing rose, Canary Rose is a miniature rose, and Super Micro Rose is even more miniature. If you graft the three together, the heights will be totally uncoordinated.

If we graft the three miniature rose varieties of Hidden Rose, Golden Sugar and Small Five Color together, the effect will be very good. So before grafting rose varieties, you must understand the characteristics of roses clearly, and then consider which rose varieties to graft together .

Planting multiple varieties together

Sometimes we see people selling roses in the flower market or on the street. A pot of roses is full of colorful flowers, which is very beautiful. Many people are curious about how the boss does it?

In fact, he planted multiple varieties of roses in one pot, and when they bloom, they will form multi-color roses, which looks similar to grafting. This is also a simple way to achieve multiple colors in one pot. If you don’t know how to graft, you can do this, and it can also produce good results .

One thing to note about this operation is that, just like grafting, it is best if the characteristics of multiple varieties are similar, so that the final effect will be good.
