When to take cuttings of northern roses

1. Outdoor cuttings

The main factor to consider when choosing the time to propagate rose cuttings is temperature. If cuttings are taken outdoors, the recommended time for northern regions is around April or May. Because the temperature has risen during this period, it is relatively warm but not too hot, which is conducive to the survival of new plants.

2. Indoor cuttings

If you are taking cuttings indoors, you can do it all year round. However, it should be noted that if cuttings are carried out in the summer, the temperature needs to be kept below 25°C. If cuttings are carried out in the winter, the temperature needs to be maintained at around 20°C. This can significantly increase the survival rate of the new plants.

3. Cutting method

Select branches with better growth on healthy plants and cut them into a length of about 5-7cm. Then trim the leaves on it, leaving only two pairs of leaves. Then treat it in a fungicide and insert it into a substrate with good air permeability. Finally, place it in a relatively warm place with weak light, and water it every 3-5 days to keep the soil slightly moist. After a period of time, it will be able to grow young roots.
