Rose cutting season and method

Rose is a beautiful and fragrant flower that many people like to grow at home. However, the propagation of roses is not an easy task. It requires mastering certain skills and methods. Let’s talk about the season and methods of rose cuttings.

1. Rose cutting time

Best time for cuttings: The best time for rose cuttings is mainly concentrated in spring and autumn.

Spring cuttings (March-April): Spring is the growing season for roses. As the temperature gradually rises, the growth vitality of the plants also gradually increases. Carrying out cuttings in spring can take advantage of the vigorous growth period of roses, which is conducive to the rooting and growth of cuttings.

Autumn cuttings (September-October): The temperature in autumn is moderate and not too hot. This is another suitable season for rose cuttings. Autumn cuttings can make the cuttings gradually take root in the autumn and winter, preparing for next year's growth.

2. Prune leaves: Prune the leaves on the stem segment to 1/3 of the length to reduce water evaporation and facilitate rooting.

3. Use rooting agents: You can use rooting powder or liquid rooting agents to promote rooting of stem segments.

4. Choose breathable soil: The soil for cuttings should have good air permeability, such as vermiculite, perlite , leaf mold, etc.

5. Moisture retention and shading: Use transparent plastic bags or seedling boxes to maintain humidity and shade to reduce water evaporation.

6. Control the temperature: avoid exposure to strong sunlight or cold environment, and maintain a suitable temperature.

7. Transplanting and maintenance: After the cuttings have taken root and grown to a certain extent, they can be transplanted to a fixed location.
