How to make roses survive by cuttings

1. Choose the right time

If you want to increase the survival rate of rose cuttings, you need to choose the right time for cuttings. It is recommended that flower lovers choose February to March in spring, or July to August in early autumn. During this period, the cuttings will take root in about 20-30 days.

2. Disinfection Matrix

Everyone will prepare the soil in advance before cuttings. Not only should you use breathable soil that is suitable for it, but you should also remember to disinfect it before using it for cuttings. If there are some residual pathogens in the soil, it will hinder the normal rooting of the branches.

3. Select strong branches

The branches selected for cuttings must be in good growth. Do not use weak or diseased branches that have been randomly pruned. There should be 2 or more buds on the branches, and do not keep too many leaves. All the leaves on the top should be removed.

4. Master the Method

If you want a higher survival rate, soak the branches in rooting water before cuttings, so that they will take root easier and faster. Don't be too forceful when doing the final cuttings. It is best to poke a hole in the soil first, and then put the treated branches in. This will avoid damage to the branches and the rooting rate will be higher.
