How long does it take for rose cuttings to take root?

Rose cutting rooting time

The best time for rose cuttings is from mid-April to mid-to-late August, but after mid-July, the quality of the cuttings will decline due to the short growth period, affecting the survival rate.

About a month after the rose is grafted, it will grow new roots. If you master reasonable maintenance methods after grafting, the rooting will be faster.

Determining the rooting of rose cuttings

To determine whether the rose cuttings have taken root, you can see whether new buds have sprouted. If new buds have grown, it means that the cuttings have been successful and have taken root.

Generally, rose cuttings can grow new leaves in about a month at a suitable growth temperature of 14 to 28 degrees.

Rose cutting rooting method

1. Prepare the potting soil: Roses like loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil rich in humus. When preparing the soil, you need to add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to the soil to improve the fertility of the soil. You also need to spray carbendazim on the soil to disinfect and sterilize the soil.

2. Branch cutting: Choose strong, disease-free semi-lignified branches. Such branches are the most vigorous and have the fastest rooting speed. The length can be 10-15 cm. When cutting, they need to be disinfected and rooting powder should be applied to the cut of the branch to make it take root faster.

3. Cutting process: insert the branches into the soil, compact the soil, and spray water appropriately to keep the soil moist. Place it in a semi-shaded, well-ventilated environment, provide a warm environment, control the amount of watering, and it will take root in about a week.

Rose cutting management

1. Rose cuttings are generally disinfected with rooting hormone solution or a solution prepared according to the instructions. Proper disinfection can help the roots take root faster.

2. When the rose is first planted, it cannot be exposed to strong light. When the rose has regained a certain vitality, it needs a certain amount of sunlight.

3. After the rose cuttings grow leaf buds and there is no wilting phenomenon, you can apply fertilizer to the topsoil. After the rose cuttings survive, you can choose to fertilize with decomposed fertilizer.

4. After the rose cuttings, spray water with a spray bottle every day to keep the soil surface moist, but do not cause water accumulation, otherwise it will affect rooting.
