This vegetative method of plant propagation is very popular and is characterized by high indicators of successful rooting. Reproduction of roses by cuttings is not difficult, easy to implement, and most importantly, effective. Most gardeners use this method to preserve and multiply bushes with their favorite flowers.
Autumnal cuttings of roses
The most competent is the receipt of cuttings in the fall, because the bush is already preparing for rest, and for wintering you still have to shorten shoots and reliably insulate them. It is believed that the cuttings cut best during the emergence of buds on the bush are best rooted, which means they should be better in the summer months, but autumn cuttings yield good results. In addition to trimming the bush, cuttings can be obtained from a bouquet of roses that stood in the water. Often, flowers begin to fade, but on the stems there are buds, which makes it possible to use stems as cuttings for rooting, it is enough only to trim the wilted flower and trim the lower cut.
Rose growers quite often get their bushes from the bouquets given once. With such a flower dilution, it is worth remembering that some cuttings start growing quickly enough to form a callus, while others can stand in water or a substrate for months with all the conditions necessary for rooting, but they will neither root nor fade. With this "unhurried" cut, it's best to have patience and continue to observe the conditions of detention until it becomes clear whether it is rooted or not.
Breeding roses by cuttings involves placing cuttings in water or a suitable substrate, creating the required temperature conditions and maintaining high humidity. Roshenkovanie roses in the water involves the use of boiled water, tracking its level in the tank and the periodic replacement of some of it. The stalk along with the container is placed in a mini-greenhouse, in the penumbra. Within a month, the first roots will probably appear, after which you can plant the stalk into the pot. The disadvantage of "water" reproduction is a small amount of oxygen in the water, so cuttings of some varieties of roses simply rot, not releasing the roots. For such cuttings it is better to use rooting in the substrate.
Winter cuttings of roses
Winter cuttings are called pruning the bush before preparing it for wintering. Proper cuttings of roses involves leaving cuttings with 2-3 buds, where the upper cut is made smoothly, and for the lower one a very sharp knife is used, with which the cut is cut at an angle of 45 °. The best rooting takes place if the cuttings are first put in water for a day before planting them in the pots. You can use growth stimulants and add them from the container, where the cuttings stand for the first day before rooting.
In principle, it is possible to propagate a rose at any time of the year, but according to the opinion of the majority of experienced gardeners, the cuttings cut off in the summer right before the flowering of the bush are best adopted and rooted, when the buds are just beginning to change color. Due to
Breeding roses brings not only moral satisfaction at the sight of a beautiful bush, grown once from a small cuttings, but it can also become a good source of income, because flowers are always in demand, and classic roses occupy a leading position in the list of the most purchased flowers. Regardless of whether you grow roses for the soul or for sale, you always have a chance to get from the cut a chic bush, pleasing with beautiful flowering.
