How to propagate roses

1. Division propagation

When dividing roses, you should fertilize and water the roots of the mother plant in the previous year, and keep the soil loose. Because the mother branches are prone to wither after each new branch is produced, the young branches around the roots should be moved elsewhere to allow the mother plant to grow vigorously. After the leaves fall in November and December each year or when new buds sprout in February of the following year, dig out strong new plants from the mother plant and plant them together with the roots. It will bloom after about two or three years of cultivation.

2. Cutting propagation

In early spring, before buds sprout, select healthy and disease-free one-year-old branches, cut them into cuttings about 20 cm long, remove the leaves on them, insert them obliquely into the prepared cutting bed, compact them and water them. They will take root in about a month and can be transplanted after sprouting.
