How to grow a rose from a cutting

This method is considered the most effective and efficient for any varieties of roses; varieties, whose ancestors were the rose hips, take root especially well at home.

That is why his descendants take root at home by cuttings from a bouquet much faster, in contrast to artificially selected species.

What roses should not be rooted at home:

• tea European;
• hybrids from South America;
• Dutch long-stemmed.

Season:

It is necessary to start preparing correctly from the moment the rose fell into the hands and the vase. If you have ever grown them yourself or want to take them from friends from the garden, it is best to do this in the fall, if we want to give life to a flower from a bouquet at home, the season does not matter, you can root it at any time of the year.However, experienced breeders claim that nature tells us with its entire existence that all plants germinate best in spring.

If you liked a rose from a bouquet, then you can give it a second life by cutting and planting its stalk.

Procedure:

1. Choose a few roses from the bouquet, cut off the buds, remove the thorns and completely immerse the stems in water for a day.
2. With a sharp knife or scissors, cut off the stem obliquely at an angle, which will prevent air from entering the cut. But it's not that simple - you need to cut in the right places. The stalk should be at least 10 cm long and have at least one bud; ideally, the lower cut should be made in the middle between the nodes, and the upper cut just above the bud should not be longer than 1 cm and sprinkle with crushed activated carbon. The bottom of the cutting is cut crosswise with a knife no deeper than 8 mm. The bottom cut is treated with a root growth stimulant that can be purchased at any gardening store.
3. We put it in a vase of water and cover it with a plastic bag, many gardeners add a couple of drops of honey there, since it is a good biostimulant or their chemical versions. We do not change the water, we just defend and pour it into the vase as it evaporates. There is another option - you can place the cutting directly into the soil, the main thing is not to forget to water it regularly so that the soil always remains moist.
4. When roots appear in the water, we plant them in a pot, with the option of rooting immediately in the ground, we just wait for the result.

Rooting the cuttings directly into the ground

Advice! Before placing the cuttings in the soil, it is worthwhile to first make drainage in the pot - pour special pebbles. In order for the stalk to grow quickly and correctly, it is even worth building a mini-greenhouse in a pot at home - a kind of greenhouse on a wire frame, covered with polyethylene. How to arrange it can be found on the video on the Internet.

And this magic happens, the main thing is to follow the sequence correctly, very well and simply the procedure is described in the video tutorials for beginners.

However, some summer residents who have greenhouses learn the same moments from their own experience and willingly share with each other.

A few shared secrets

1. When growing a rose in winter, when there is a lack of natural light, it is worth organizing artificial lighting, and fluorescent lamps are best suited for this. If there is not enough light in greenhouses, it is better to use sodium varieties with a power not exceeding 650W.
2. It is better to replant roses closer to autumn, so that it has time to take root by winter, or in spring, so that it can take root by summer.

5. When transplanting rooted stems from greenhouse conditions into pots, this should be done gradually, increasing the time they stay without a greenhouse. It is not recommended to immediately remove the jar or polyethylene, this is stress for the rose.
6. As a greenhouse, you can use not only polyethylene or cans, cut plastic bottles are great.
7. For domestic roses, you should not save and take land from parks, vegetable gardens, etc. It is better to buy a special one in a store, it is lighter in structure, has the necessary nutrients and does not contain pathogens.

How to plant a rose from a bouquet at home?

Many will be surprised, they say, why make so much effort if you can just buy ready-made cuttings in gardening stores and just plant them in the ground.

To begin with, there is no guarantee that the store rose will take root on the site.

The bushes on sale are grown in special conditions, where a special composition of the soil is selected for them, stimulants and various dressings are used, having lost which the plant begins to hurt and dies.

Of course, this is not always the case, but nevertheless there is more confidence in self-grown.

The second “pros” is the desire to have on the site exactly the rose that was presented as a gift in a bouquet.

And the price, of course, matters. Self-cultivation is many times more economical.

Some are afraid to take on this business, believing that they will not cope with the difficulties, that it is necessary to have some experience to grow roses.

However, even a beginner is able to master the task, especially since further we will consider in detail the most effective ways to grow roses from a bouquet.

How to grow a rose from a bouquet at home

There are several such methods.

• The middle part of the stem is best suited for this.
• With the help of a secateurs, shoots are cut about 10-15 cm long. It is necessary that each of them has two or three buds. Above the upper kidney, the cut should be straight (even), and under the lower kidney, it is better to make it at an angle of 45 degrees.

Important!!!

To prevent the leaves from pulling the juices out of the stem, they must also be cut by about a third. This is a very important point. You just need to cut them off, not cut them off. The second option can lead to the death of the sprout.

Rooting is done in two ways:

• In the soil

In this case, the prepared stalk (it does not hurt to treat it with "Kornevin" or any other drug that stimulates the formation of the root system with a means) is buried in the ground at an angle.

The soil is best purchased in a store specifically designed for growing roses.

Advice!!

Pour coarse river sand or crushed shells into the hole or pot where the stalk will be planted. This will help to avoid stagnant moisture, as well as provide a sufficient supply of oxygen to the roots.

• In water

This method is much simpler, but the result is much worse.

For comparison:

cuttings planted in the soil take root in 80% of cases, and germinated with moisture - only in 30%.

Everything is explained by the insufficient oxygen content in the water, and without it, the development of roots is impossible.

Cuttings are cut according to the same principle as described above, and are immersed 3 cm in previously settled water at room temperature.

The roots should appear in 20-30 days, and some of the stem may look dry.

It is necessary to change the water every 3-5 days.

After the roots are about 2-3 cm long, you can transplant the cuttings into the soil.

Try both at the same time to find the one that works best for you.

Important!!!

Whatever the environmental conditions, cuttings after planting in the ground are MANDATORY !!! covered with jars or cut plastic bottles. This helps to create a greenhouse effect and protect the cutting from environmental influences. You can open the jars only after rooting the cuttings.

Further, for the development of the cuttings, a stable air temperature (23-25 ​​degrees), spraying of the upper part and regular soil moisture are needed.

Growing roses in potatoes from cuttings

The use of potato tubers for rooting flowers is relatively new.

However, the results are encouraging, so this method is gaining popularity very quickly.

To grow a rose in this way from a donated bouquet, you need to properly prepare the cuttings and take care of the presence of fertile soil:

1. Planting is carried out only in pots. They can be brought indoors for the winter and protect young sprouts from frost.
2. You can use only young healthy potatoes that are free of stains and mechanical damage. From them you need to carefully cut off the "eyes".
3. A cut is made on the bottom of the handle at an angle of 45 degrees, and then you can deepen it into the root crop.
4. Now everything is buried together in fertile soil so that there is at least 7-10 cm of soil above the potatoes.
5. Immediately after planting, it is necessary to water the roses with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
6. After once every five days, you need to use pre-prepared water, dissolving sugar in it at the rate of a spoon per liter.

There are many useful substances in potatoes that contribute to a more active formation of the root system, so that rooting of roses occurs in 90 cases out of 100.
