How to plant roses

1. Cutting time

If you want to ensure that rose cuttings survive, you can choose early spring, when the climate is suitable and the roses are in the germination period, which is helpful for the survival of the cuttings. Cuttings can also be taken in autumn, which is relatively suitable for growth. It can also be done in other seasons, but the survival rate is not high.

2. Cut branches

The selection of branches is critical. New branches are conducive to survival and the length cannot be too short. Make sure there are at least three nodes on the branches, about 15-20 cm. Cut them with a sharp knife and pay attention to the flatness of the cut. Then remove the leaves near the bottom, leaving 2-3 leaves on the top, and soak them in rooting agent for a period of time to promote rooting and survival as soon as possible.

3. Prepare the loam

The loam used for cuttings can be a mixture of peat soil and river sand, which can ensure nutrition and have sufficient permeability, and has a good rooting effect.

4. Take cuttings

Insert the treated branches into the loam, and gently press the surrounding loam to make it fit tightly with the loam. After cuttings, pay attention to shade, avoid exposure to strong sunlight, and spray water frequently to maintain humidity. It will take about a month for roots to take shape.
