How to propagate roses

1. Cutting method

This method can be done by soil or water insertion, and is mostly carried out in spring and autumn. Avoid cuttings in the cold winter, which will hinder rooting.

1. Soil cuttings: Cut a sturdy two-year-old branch from the rose plant, with a length of 15 cm. The bottom of the branch should be properly trimmed, cut diagonally, and retain 3-4 leaves. Prepare loose soil in advance, insert the branches into the substrate, maintain a rooting environment of 18-25℃, avoid direct sunlight, and new roots will grow in about a month.

2. Water insertion: Select a hard branch, flatten the bottom of the branch with scissors, and insert 1/2 of it into a container filled with water, creating an environment of 15-20℃ for it. During the root growth period, change the water every 2-3 days and wait for it to take root.

2. Grafting

Bud grafting: Cut off the fuller buds from the mother plant with good growth, and use rose or white jade tree as the rootstock. Graft 1-2 buds onto the rootstock, or graft one bud onto its long branches at intervals of 8-10 cm. After the grafting is successful, cut off a branch with a grafted branch and insert it into the sand bed.
