A rose, indeed, can be called a royal flower, which captivates with its fragrance and amazing beauty. But in the bouquet, this beauty is short-lived, and wilted flowers always become pathetic.
But it is in the case of roses that there is a way out. Suppose you were given a very beautiful bouquet. Let him show off for several days in a vase, preferably no more than 4 days. And then this bouquet can be given a second life. How to root a rose from a bouquet? Just note that there is nothing complicated about this, you just need to know how to do it right.
So, your bouquet has fulfilled its purpose, and it's time to get down to business. I would like to note that if you immediately decide to use a bouquet to grow roses from cuttings, then this is even better. And the original composition can be made from buds, they still have to be cut.
Take a transparent wide vase, pour water there and lower the rosebuds. It turns out very beautifully, and the aroma will fill your room.
We cut the buds, from the stems we select more stiff ones with elastic and green leaves. In order to get roses from cuttings from a bouquet, you need to have a sleeping bud between the stem and leaves : without it, nothing will work.
If there are such kidneys, then you can start cutting the cuttings. From one medium-sized stalk, two cuttings will be obtained, on which there will be two or three buds. Cut the cuttings very carefully: the direction of the cut and the distance from the kidney are important.
The upper section, which must be done directly and evenly, should be above the kidney at a distance of 1 to 1.5 cm. The lower section is made obliquely down from the sleeping kidney, the distance from which is about two centimeters. The bottom can be left so, but you can make a few cuts. Just remember that the incisions should be even, not jagged, otherwise the bush will then hurt.
We continue the story of how to root a rose from a bouquet. Now with the received cuttings it is necessary to carry out several operations. Firstly, the leaves located at the bottom of the handle need to be completely cut off, and those that are located at the top of the kidney should be cut in half. This manipulation will stimulate root growth. Secondly, the lower part of the cuttings should be omitted in any preparation for rooting cuttings.
Now a little about the land in which you intend to plant your harvesting. To begin with, you can make a special nursery or immediately plant the stalk in a permanent place. In any case, the earth should be saturated with humus, and its surface should be sprinkled with river sand up to 3 cm thick.
If the earth is ready, plant them so that only the upper kidney with leaves remains on the surface. Cover each stalk with a glass jar, preferably 5 liter. The narrow neck on the bottle needs to be cut. Be sure to fortify the jar or bottle, sprinkling them with earth. To protect from the bright sun and severe frost, put leaves or branches on top, and in winter fill them with snow.
You can not plant cuttings in open ground. How to root a rose from a bouquet indoors? But very simple. In the same way, you make blanks, just plant them, for example, in a large plastic bottle, and always cover with another bottle on top. Put in a cool, not too bright place.
A very important point: with the onset of heat, you can not immediately remove the shelter (banks and bottles). This should be done gradually. First, just lift the jar for a short time: so you gradually accustom the rose to the environment. Then it can be opened for a day, and left at night under the bank. And with the onset of warmer nights, shelters can be completely removed. When the cuttings are under the banks, do not forget to water them. You need to do this around the shelter.
Now you know how to root a rose from a bouquet. Just do not try to do this with Dutch roses. The fact is that these flowers are treated with a special solution to keep them longer, and therefore rooting them is a futile exercise.
