Rose cutting propagation method

time

Roses are best propagated from cuttings in spring and autumn.

When taking cuttings in spring, choose to do it in early spring. If you do it after the spring warms up, it is easy for the side buds to grow before the roots, resulting in the seedlings not being able to provide a lot of water to the new leaves because the roots have not yet grown. The success rate of cuttings in late autumn and early winter is higher than in spring.

Cuttings

Mature branches with full development are preferred, but tender stems and fully mature hard branches can also be selected. Counting from top to bottom, the branches between nodes 4-9 are the best.

Reproduction method

Keep 3-5 leaflets on the cuttings, select 2-3 nodes of cuttings, insert them into loose, moist medium, pay attention to moisturizing, and place them in a semi-shaded place. When taking cuttings in spring, you can use rooting powder to promote root development. After the cuttings have taken root, you can move the small pots to new pots for seedlings. In the early stages of development, apply high-phosphorus and potassium slow-release fertilizers or organic fertilizers, and place the seedlings in a well-lit place to promote root ball development. After the root balls are well grown, move them into large pots for planting.
