How to propagate Rosa candidum

Propagation method 1: sowing

When we propagate plants, we usually use the sowing method. In spring, we need to soak the rose seeds stored in the sand in water for 30 minutes, and then sow them on the surface of the soil. The soil must be kept moist. After sowing, cover with a layer of film, ensure sufficient light, water once every 3 to 4 days, and transplant after the seedlings emerge. However, it is not recommended to use the seed cultivation method, as the survival rate of this method is relatively low. If some flower lovers want to try it, it is fine.

Propagation method 2: division

Separate the newly grown small branches of the Rosa rugosa from the connection with the mother plant, then plant them in the soil and wait patiently for the small branches to grow into new plants. This method of division propagation is relatively easy and has a high survival rate, so it is recommended to everyone.

Propagation method three: cuttings

The propagation of Rosa rugosa is also often done by cuttings. Use tender branches as seedlings for cuttings, as this will make them easier to survive.

It is best to choose branches with relatively strong growth for cuttings, and they need to be handled carefully. It is best to carry out cuttings immediately to increase the survival rate. We can also apply some wood ash on the cut of the cuttings, which can effectively prevent rot. It is best to keep the temperature of the Rosa macrophylla cuttings between 20 and 25 degrees. Too high a temperature will easily cause rot at the cut, and too low a temperature will affect its growth.

Propagation method 4: layering

The layering method for growing seedlings of Rosa macrophylla is to press the branches of the plant into moist soil. When the branches grow roots, separate them from the mother plant and transplant them into the soil to form new plants. Layering is also a method with a high plant survival rate, and it can maintain the original appearance of the rose.

Layering and division methods are very suitable for flower lovers who do not have much experience. Sowing and cutting methods are slightly more difficult. If you can control the temperature conditions well, the cutting method of propagating Rosa rugosa can be carried out all year round. In addition to controlling the temperature, the cutting method also requires attention to the humidity and circulation of the air. After learning so much, let’s take action to propagate Rosa macrophylla.
