Don't spend money to buy roses, just pick a branch on the roadside and you can have a rose garden

1. The best time for rose cuttings

Rose cuttings can be carried out in spring and autumn. Spring is from late April to the end of May. The climate is mild at this time, the branches are vigorous, and they can take root one month after planting, with a high survival rate.

Autumn cuttings are carried out from the end of August to the end of October. At this time, the cuttings are affected by the large temperature difference between day and night, and rooting is relatively slow, taking 40-50 days to take root. The survival rate is slightly lower than that of spring cuttings.

2. Selection of rose cuttings

The selection of cuttings can be prepared based on the following three points:

1. Strong, plump and growing well

2. Spring shoots of one or two years old or autumn shoots of the same year

This type of branches has a high content of growth substances and strong metabolic activity. They are not only easy to survive, but also grow into good plants. When cutting branches from outdoors, you must pay attention to moisturizing and shading to keep the branches alive.

Cuttings processing:

Cut off the upper part of the branch, select the middle and lower part of the branch, cut a section every 10 cm or so as a cutting, and keep 3-4 axillary buds on it.

The cuttings can be left without leaves or only 1-2 leaves on the top can be retained to prevent the loss of water and nutrients in the cuttings, to facilitate rooting of the cuttings and to control the growth of branches and leaves.

The upper end of the cuttings is cut into a flat end, and the lower end is cut into an oblique end. The cut should be 1 cm away from the axillary bud and the cut should be smooth to form healing tissue.

3. Cutting method

Try to prune, process and sow as soon as possible. Be sure not to damage the skin when cutting. Generally, use a small wooden stick or your fingers to poke a small hole in the cutting medium, and then place the cutting into the hole.

The cutting depth is 3/2-2/3 of the length of the cutting. After insertion, compact the soil with your hands and water it thoroughly once to ensure that the cuttings are tightly combined with the soil.

4. Management after cutting

First of all, after cuttings, they must be pressed tightly to ensure that the cuttings and the substrate are closely combined. Secondly, they must be watered thoroughly. If conditions permit, you can put up a shade net for the cuttings to prevent direct sunlight while maintaining sufficient temperature and humidity.

When the cuttings have not taken root, you can water them once a week. After about a month, the cuttings will take root and sprout. At this time, the water demand increases and you can water them once every 3 to 5 days. The specific frequency of watering should be determined according to your flower-growing environment.
