How to propagate mountain roses and what to pay attention to

Mountain rose propagation method

The main methods of propagation of mountain rose are sowing propagation and cutting propagation. Its seeds can be propagated, and its natural reproduction method is seed propagation. Generally speaking, cutting propagation is the fastest.

Mountain rose breeding time

The best time to propagate mountain roses is in late spring or autumn, because the temperature in spring and autumn is the most suitable time of the year, especially spring, which is the period of vigorous growth of mountain roses and the survival rate of reproduction is high.

Mountain rose cutting propagation

Generally, you need to choose mountain rose branches that grow relatively sturdy, so that the survival rate will be higher. Before cuttings, we can use chopsticks to poke a hole in the soil that is about the same thickness as the cuttings, and then insert the cuttings into it and water them. When watering, be moderate and remember not to cause water accumulation.

Mountain rose seed propagation

Before sowing and propagating mountain roses, the seeds need to be stimulated to germinate. Generally, the seeds can be soaked in hot water for 1-2 days. After the seeds begin to absorb water and swell, they can be taken out and sown. This can increase the germination rate of the seeds.

Sow the seeds evenly in the potting soil and cover them with 1-2 cm of soil, then water them. Remember to water them thoroughly at once. The seeds will germinate in about a week.

Mountain rose breeding precautions

When propagating mountain roses, you need to pay attention that the granular substrate placed at the bottom of the pot can be slightly larger to facilitate drainage, but the size of the particles in the middle is best controlled at around 3 mm, because its root system is relatively fine. If the particles of the substrate are too large, it will be detrimental to the root growth of the plant.
