How to grow a rose from a cutting in home and indoor conditions, in order to breed and plant it correctly in a pot: rooting and care, and can it be propagated in winter?

What cuttings to choose

How to grow roses by cuttings? Practice shows that this process will be very simple if the most suitable source material is chosen for its implementation.

As noted in the advice of gardeners, planting roses with cuttings gives the best results if strong stems were chosen for reproduction, the thickness of which is at least 0.5 cm, otherwise the stem simply does not have enough strength to maintain its own nutrition, as well as to form powerful root system. Moreover, they must certainly have a fresh look.

Planting roses with cuttings should be done only in well-prepared soil, consisting of fresh and fertile soil. Before immersing the branches into it, it is necessary to trim the thorns and part of the leaves - these elements often cause rotting of the stems, as well as their drying out.

Selected cuttings can be stored for some time until planting. To do this, the cut stems (about 20 cm long) must be wrapped in newspaper and moistened thoroughly. Until the moment of planting in the ground, their moisture should be carefully controlled.

How to cut rose cuttings in autumn

Step-by-step instructions for grafting roses in autumn:

Only well-ripened shoots with a diameter of a pencil or a pen (that is, about 0.5 cm thick) are suitable as cuttings;

By the way! It is quite simple to determine that the shoot is ripe and ready for autumn cuttings: if the thorns snap off and fly off with a slight pressure, then you can proceed to the procedure.

Each of the cuttings should have 3-4 developed buds, and its average length should be about 15-25 cm.
In order not to be confused when planting and not to stick it "upside down", almost at the very top of the cutting (departing from the upper bud by 2-3 cm) a straight cut is made at once, and at the bottom - oblique, ie at an angle of 45 degrees (just above the lower kidney);

Important! You need to use only a very sharp instrument (secateurs), and it should preferably be disinfected. Advice! You cannot cut the cuttings with scissors.

Seizures can form and the cutting has very little chance of survival.

Advice! You cannot cut the cuttings with scissors. Seizures can form and the cuttings have very little chance of survival.

Advice! As cuttings for autumn propagation of roses, it is ideal to take specimens with a heel (the heel is part of the old wood). This means that they need to be carefully broken off, and not chopped. on it (heel) callus forms the fastest and such cuttings root better.

If autumn rooting is planned, then in order to provide the stalk with food, you need to leave at least a couple (or preferably two pairs) of the upper leaves, but the lower ones must be removed.

Note! It's another matter if you do not plan to root the cutting immediately, but want to postpone its planting until spring. In this case, you no longer need the leaves, so you need to get rid of them.

Done, the cuttings are cut, now it remains to prepare them for planting in open ground or a pot (initially rooted at home), namely: treat with special solutions and plant them correctly in the appropriate ground.

Interesting! Some gardeners, to play it safe (so that the buds do not bloom ahead of time), dip the tips of the cuttings in melted wax, and then in cold water.

Reproduction of roses by cuttings in summer

Most often, roses are planted with cuttings in the summer, in June, as this is the most favorable period for the development of the root system. There are several ways to plant rose cuttings.

Traditional breeding

Plant the prepared cuttings at an angle of 45 degrees. Deepen the lower kidney into the ground. Compact the sand and pour, cover with jars. At a daytime temperature of at least plus 25 degrees, and at night - at least plus 18 degrees. Celsius, about a month later, the bud will sprout. By the end of summer, new shoots will have reached 30-40 centimeters in length.

To preserve young twigs for the winter, dig them up in the fall with the ground and place them in the cellar. If this is not possible, plant it in flowerpots, placing it in a bright, but not hot place until spring.

In the southern regions, due to the dry summer and high temperatures, rooting of roses by cuttings is best done in the fall. As a starting material, you can use the branches removed during the formative pruning of the rose bushes. Dig the prepared cuttings in the garden. Cover with clipped plastic bottles and top with leaves.

Reproduction of roses in potatoes

One of the simple breeding methods is planting roses with cuttings in potatoes. This allows the roots to retain the moisture they need during dry periods and feeds them with starch.

Rooting of cuttings of roses in potatoes is carried out in a hole dug to a depth of 15 cm.The place of planting must be chosen based on the following criteria:

not blown by winds;
well lit;
is not completely shaded;
not exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.

Pour five centimeters of sand into the depression. Prepare cuttings 20 cm long, free from thorns and leaves. Choose medium-sized potatoes, remove their eyes.

Make holes in the roots, stick the cuttings into them and dig into the trench at a distance of 15 cm from each other, leaving a third on top. Place the cans on top. Water periodically (once every 3-5 days), and once a week to replenish carbohydrates, pamper the syrup by dissolving a spoonful of sugar in a glass of water.

How to stimulate plant growth

Cuttings that you plan to plant in the future can be placed in plain water. And you can stimulate their growth by adding drugs to the liquid.

Commercial products such as Heterauxin, Epin, or Zircon are suitable for stimulation. Just pour the contents of the ampoule into a container of water.

If you are not a supporter of chemistry, then this recipe is suitable for you.

Combine a tablespoon of honey and a pinch of finely chopped rose leaves in a bowl. Then add the mixture to a glass of water, mix thoroughly again and place the stem of the flower there.

Please note that you need to change this liquid every 2 days so that it does not turn sour. You can replace honey water with yeast solution or aloe juice

But the most effective folk remedy is still honey water with chopped rose leaves.

How to root cuttings of roses

When the seedlings have root embryos, you can start rooting them. If you do this at home, you will need pots that have been pretreated with potassium permanganate solution and filled with drainage and special soil.

The seedling must be inserted into the sand, making sure that its lower edge does not touch the ground. If you do not use a pot, but a box as a container, leave a distance of 8 cm between the shoots. Still, it is better to root the plants separately from each other.

Provided planting in a garden, the stems are dropped at an angle into the holes previously disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate, burying the lower bud into the ground. The planted sprouts are watered and covered with a glass jar.

The sprouts continue to root at a daytime temperature of at least +25 for another month. Next, hardening begins by removing the cans for a while. Soon, the banks are removed altogether.

Before the onset of autumn, young shoots grow up to 30-40 cm, and on some buds have time to form. In this case, they must be pinched to stop the flowering process, which inhibits the formation of roots.

In pots

After planting the sprouts in pots, they must be sprinkled with water and covered with a cut plastic bottle or plastic bag to maintain a certain temperature regime (Figure 4).

Containers with rooting seedlings are kept in a sufficiently warm place (+ 22 + 25), away from direct sunlight

It is important to maintain high humidity by spraying the sprouts from time to time.

Figure 4. Seedlings after rooting in pots

As soon as you notice small sprouts in the axils of the leaves, this is a sign that rooting has been successful. From this point on, you can begin to harden the plants, removing the shelter for several hours and controlling the moisture of the soil.

In water

To germinate seedlings in water, it is necessary to lower the cut stems into a container filled with water or a special mixture and keep in a warm, bright place for two weeks. It is during this time that the first roots should appear (Figure 5).

Figure 5. Germination (rooting) of sprouts in water

Germination in water is the easiest, but far from the only way to get planting material at home. Below it will be described what other means can be used for germination.

In potatoes

How to plant a rose in a potato at home is of interest to many flower lovers. This is a very interesting rooting method.

Figure 6. Rooting cuttings in potato tubers

The essence of the method is as follows: a hole is made in a medium-sized potato for an escape. Then a seedling is inserted into the potato and planted in the ground (Figure 6). At the same time, potatoes not only keep the sprout moist, but also nourish the plant, and also protect it from diseases.

The video shows how to plant cuttings rooted in potatoes.

Growing in a package

An alternative to the traditional method is to grow cuttings in a bag. For this, the cut seedlings are wrapped in a bag filled with soil. Then the bag is inflated, tied and hung on the window. Within a month, roots appear at the sprouts, after which you can plant them in a permanent place.

How to root a rose from a bouquet

If the roses from the bouquet have sprouted, they can be rooted and planted in the ground. To successfully carry out this procedure, you need to know a few simple rules (Figure 7):

Choose flowers of domestic varieties for this method of propagation.
Only use fresh flowers.
Choose a stem that is entering the lignification stage.
The petiole should be of medium length (15 cm), and three growth buds should be located on it.
All thorns and leaves on the underside of the stem must be removed.
Place the cut stems in a vase of cold water, change it regularly until roots appear.
Transplant the cuttings into a pot or open ground under cover using one of the methods described above.

Figure 7. Preparation and rooting of rose cuttings from a bouquet

Roses from the bouquet can be planted in any convenient way, including in potatoes.

Choosing roses for grafting

Before, I tried to multiply all the roses that were given to me. Among them were the Dutch selection. For their cultivation, powerful stimulants and a large amount of fertilizers are used, which once in other conditions, they are not able to give a "new life".

Plants grown in Russia are another matter. They can become 100% "donors". In beauty, they are not inferior to overseas colors.

The main thing is that the piece of the stem that is taken for grafting must be intact with thorns.

I choose a stem that is not very stiff. I prefer cuttings with green bark rather than light brown. Renewal buds, even in a vase, already demonstrate a desire to give rise to a new life. They are the main contenders for the right to become wards in pots.

Landing rules

Rose is a rather capricious plant, it requires attention and maintaining temperature and other conditions. Loves very lighted places, direct sunlight

It is important to observe the correct humidity regime, many questions often arise here. Too wet soil leads to decay of the root system, too dry soil inhibits vegetative development

Roses that are grafted onto rose hips stand out for their good resistance. Loam is most suitable for roses, the acid-base pH is 6.7-7.3. There must be good air exchange in the soil. Soil, which contains a lot of sand, is also suitable for growing a rose. Such soil should be properly fertilized, and other soils should be added. The soil, in which there is a lot of humus, is always moist, but, on the other hand, the air exchange in it is not as active as in the sand. Often, such soil is sprinkled with a layer of river sand, then dug up after a while.

Detailed instructions on how to properly plant plants of the family of bush roses:

before planting, it is required to dig a hole with a depth of at least half a meter;

the seedling is taken out of the package, carefully inspected for defects;
then he is immersed in a container of water;

if there are damaged fragments on the plant, they must be carefully cut off;
fertilizers are prepared and mixed with the substrate;
an "Initiator" tablet is placed at the bottom of the hole, which will be a good remedy against the effects of various parasites - usually the action of such a drug is enough for 1 year;
the seedling is installed in the hole, while the root system is gently straightened;
the root base (with the point where the grafting takes place) should be 5 centimeters in the ground, which will not allow the rosehip stock to bloom.

Cutting roses from a bouquet

There are two options for how to grow a rose from cuttings from a bouquet. The first method is simpler, but the result of rooting is only 2-3 out of ten seedlings. Reproduction of a rose is performed in this way:

Take the middle part of the rose branch. Cut 12-15 cm cuttings from it, leaving 2-3 buds on each.
Cut the stem obliquely from below. The cut angle is 45 degrees. A bud should be located 15 centimeters from the bottom of the stem.
Cut evenly from above and no higher than 0.5 cm above the kidney.
Remove the foliage from the bottom, cut the upper leaves, leaving 1/3 part.
Treat the top of the cutting with brilliant green or manganese.
Hold in a growth accelerator throughout the day.
Sprinkle the lower cut of the shoot with a powder that promotes the appearance of roots.
Prepare the soil in advance and plant a seedling in it 1.5-2 cm deep.
Drizzle. Cut open the plastic bottle and cover the plant so that it can be watered through the neck.

The second method is more difficult, but knowing how to cut roses correctly, you can get a much better result. The material will be the shoots grown on the stem. It is best to propagate flowers cut in a short time. The surface of the seedling should be smooth, the color is dark green, buds must be present in the axils of the leaves. Further actions:

Rinse the shoot for cuttings with warm water, adding laundry soap.
Use a sharp knife to cut the seedling obliquely.
Put in a glass.
Cover with a bag, tie. Make a small hole to allow air to enter.
Place under a fluorescent lamp.

Over time, sprouts with reddish leaves form on the stem. As soon as the leaves turn dark green, the shoot can be cut. To do this, you need to cut the sprout from the stem and place it in a dark container. For convenience, you can use a medicine bottle. Cover the handle with a bag without tying it, and put it under the lamp. The roots should appear in 1.5-2 months. To speed up the process a little, it is recommended to add a little growth accelerator to the water. When the roots are 1 cm long, the seedling can be planted in a pot. Again, without tying, cover with a bag, remove after 2-3 weeks. Feed with a growth accelerator once every seven days.

Germination of cuttings of roses in water

The easiest way to get roots and control the process is to put the prepared branches in water, submerging no more than a third. Water must be prepared: filtered or settled; spring water is, of course, better. The water in the bank must be changed every other day.

The place should be protected from drafts or sudden temperature changes. Bright, but not in direct sunlight.

After 2-3 weeks, a slight thickening or outgrowth forms on the cut of the stem. Roots must then develop from it. It is better to plant such cuttings in the ground when there are already good strong roots.

Advantages and disadvantages of rose seedlings grown from cuttings

A few words must be said about the advantages of this breeding method over grafting.

Obtained from varietal plants, they do not form rootstock root shoots, which greatly simplifies care.
In the southern regions, they winter better, but even when the aboveground part freezes, they recover from dormant buds on the roots.
The ease of obtaining planting material should also be considered. After all, even roses from a bouquet can be propagated in this way.
Another great advantage of this propagation method is that roses with their own roots are much more durable than grafted roses.

Perhaps there is only one drawback: rooted cuttings overwinter poorly in the first winter.
This is because in one summer, a young plant does not have time to build a sufficiently powerful root system. Therefore, the first years of the plant need reinforced shelter or wintering in the basement ..

Root roses by cuttings. After all, even winter is not a hindrance to such an interesting and useful activity.

Care Tips

Experts willingly share their secrets and give a lot of useful advice to novice gardeners. Here is some of them.

Roses thrive in areas sheltered from the winds that are well lit.

Groundwater should be 1.2 meters from the surface

It is important that the root system is in a humid environment, but if the percentage of humidity is too high, the plant may die.
Do not plant roses in wetlands.
It is not recommended to cut the cuttings with scissors; if there are “scuffs” or burrs, the plant will die.
To organize the reproduction of a plant in the cold season (autumn), it is best to choose sprouts with a "knob", which is formed from the old material. Callus forms on it, and the future root system sprouts.
When planting in autumn, be sure to leave a couple of leaves at the top of the plant.

Sometimes, so that the buds do not bloom unpredictably, it is better to dip the plant in hot wax and then pour it over with cold water.
To get up to five plants, you should plant up to a dozen cuttings.
It is better to use a container for planting in a small container (up to 1 liter), it is best to use glass or transparent PVC so that you can see how much the root system has sprouted.
Almost any primer suitable for flowers is suitable.

Sometimes river sand (1/2) is added, sand allows moisture to penetrate better. And also perlite and vermiculite are added as a nutritional supplement.
If it is possible to add sphagnum moss, the plant will grow even better. This product provides optimal ventilation of the soil, improves the nutrient environment.
Before planting, you can disinfect the soil with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
Sometimes it is useful to germinate cuttings in water, then the chance of their more reliable rooting increases.

Plants that have roots (at least 1 centimeter in length) can be germinated in water. So that the cuttings are not seduced, you can add a little "Fitosporin" to the water.
A layer of peat (25 cm) helps well in warming plants, it also helps to absorb moisture and retain it.
When planting, the distance between plants should be no more than 95 cm. Such species as polyanthus, hybrid tea, floribunda can be planted at a distance of up to 65 cm. Climbing and standard varieties are planted at a distance of up to 1 meter.

If you grow seedlings on a windowsill, then it is best on the east side, so that the scattered rays of the sun fall.
It is advisable to air the seedlings every day.
Watering should be selected individually, in this matter there can be no hard recipes.
It is not difficult to root the stalk on the windowsill, it is only important to monitor the moisture level and temperature of the windowsill itself.

How to propagate a Chinese rose at home

Under natural conditions, the Chinese rose (hibiscus) propagates by seed. But at home, it is better to use the cuttings method, which allows you to get high-quality planting material much faster, which is necessary for growing young plants (Figure 9).

How to propagate a Chinese rose by cuttings at home? First of all, this will require an adult plant that needs pruning. It is in the process of removing excess stems and shoots that cuttings are harvested. Branches with a strong stem and several internodes are used as cuttings. All leaves are removed from the cutting.

Reproduction of a variety by cuttings involves the use of growth stimulants. For this, the places of the slices are dipped in a solution of the drug for several hours and immersed in clean water at room temperature for the formation of roots. For this purpose, you can also use a mixture of sand with fertile soil, but in a container with water it is much easier to control the process of root formation in order to transplant a young plant in time.

Figure 9. Propagation of a Chinese rose by cuttings

Root formation lasts 3-4 weeks, after which the cutting is transplanted into the ground and pinched so that the bush is lush.

Planting cuttings to a permanent place

Before planting rose cuttings in the ground in the fall, you must choose a suitable place. The soil should be loose, moderately moist, but not wet, organically fertilized, contain substrates that promote fertility. Roses love warmth and light.Therefore, it is better to plant them along walls or a fence, which will be protection from wind and draft, from the south side.

For propagation of roses in the fall at home, in September, but no later than the 25th, prepare cuttings from ripe annual stems. Leave 4 kidneys on each. Plant on the day of cut. The distance between them is left 8-10 cm. They are planted in rows, between which intervals of 15-20 cm are made. The stalk is stuck into the ground so that 2 buds are in the ground, and 2 above the surface.

Then you need to sprinkle the seedling with soil and water it well with warm water. With winter approaching, cover the cuttings with jars and cover with grass. You can make a greenhouse out of plastic wrap stretched over a frame. Sprinkle it with earth on the sides, leaving a hole on one side so that you can water the cuttings. The oilcloth must be solid and undamaged. With the onset of frost, it is good to sprinkle its bottom from all sides.

If it did not work out to plant roses in the right period of time, you can store it in the soil all winter. You need to do the following step by step:

dig a hole 15 cm deep;
lay the material to cover the cuttings at the bottom. You can use cotton fabric;
remove all foliage on seedlings;
put the cuttings next to each other, leaving a small distance between them;
cover with a cloth and sprinkle with earth.

To make it easier to find the holes with stored plants in the spring, it is recommended to install pegs along their edges. At the end of winter, cuttings are taken out of the ground. If a thick build-up has formed on them, it means that the seedlings have successfully survived the cold and are ready for planting. Having the material for planting and the knowledge of how to plant cuttings of roses, you can easily get to work.

If rooting of cuttings of roses for some reason does not work, you can resort to propagation from the bush. The technique is not complicated, it allows you to refresh the flower and get new plants. The right time for seedlings is autumn or early spring, before the buds have blossomed. So how to propagate a rose from a bush?

Before you start dividing, you need to prune the branches so that they do not absorb the nutrients necessary for the development of new roots. It is advised to perform this procedure in the evening. Then water the rose abundantly and divide the next day. Further actions when propagating a rose from a bush:

get the roots out of the ground, shake off well;
divide into several parts, leaving 2-3 shoots with buds on each. For division, a sharp knife disinfected with pure alcohol is required;
soak the roots in a solution of an equal amount of clay and cow dung;
lower the root into a previously prepared hole and dig in so that the root collar is at ground level;
cut off the shoots, leaving 3-4 buds.

Since the planted plant is weakened, it needs careful maintenance. The flower must be well watered and mulched regularly. You can use humus, compost and peat. In order not to burn the roots, it is not necessary to use mineral fertilizers for feeding immediately after rooting. As a rule, a plant planted from a bush will develop within a year.
