How to improve the survival rate of rose cuttings

Selection of cutting ears

When cutting cuttings, leave 2-3 buds, with the upper end 1-2 cm above the bud, cut into a horse ear shape opposite the bud, and the lower end cut flat 2-3 mm below the node.

Treatment of ear cuttings

Place a bundle of 50-100 cuttings in an inverted ditch in the sand for more than 21 days. Soak the base of the cuttings in 500-2000 mg/L rooting powder solution for 1-2 seconds, and immediately insert them into the substrate to a depth of about 1/2 of the total length. Keep the ground moist and the air humid.

Management after cuttings

Control the substrate temperature 3-6 degrees Celsius higher than the air. When the cutting bed is to be planted, artificial spraying is done 4-6 times a day, each time for about 5 minutes, to help the formation of incision callus, thereby greatly improving the survival rate of rose cuttings.
