Common problems in the process of rose cuttings

The rose cuttings sprout first and then take root.

Many people will find that when they are propagating rose cuttings, tender shoots will appear first and then roots may grow. The young shoots grow with the help of nutrients from the branches and produce growth hormones to promote the growth of the root system. This process is somewhat long. In fact, this is a kind of false life, because without roots, it can't be considered real life.

Only when the roots grow out and start to sprout for the second time will it truly survive.

When can roses be transplanted?

Generally, when roses are propagated by cuttings, they will stop growing after budding. At this time, be careful not to apply fertilizer, but you can spray some foliar fertilizer. When the second sprout occurs, roots have grown out, but the root system is still relatively weak. It is not suitable to transplant it until it grows a few leaves and stops growing.

When transplanting, be sure to keep the soil as much as possible.

Why is the survival rate of the ring barking method higher?

When propagating rose cuttings, people will use the ring-barking method because it has a high survival rate.

Why is this happening? This involves the growth mechanism of roses. When the leaves of the rose are photosynthesizing, nutrients are transported through the outer bark. If the outer bark is peeled off using the ring-barking method, the nutrients cannot be transported downward and gather at the wound, which can accelerate healing and promote bud growth. Generally, after ring barking, it should be cut off in time for cuttings. It is usually best to do it within 1 to 3 weeks. If it takes too long, the plants will lack nutrients and become weak branches.

Why do roses need to be wrapped with floral mud after ringing?

Many people will wrap the wound with a layer of floral mud after ring barking. This is like high-altitude layering, using moist soil to create a good environment for it and promote growth.
