Rose is the queen of flowers. The gardener, who managed to get a lush flowering bush on his plot, will proudly demonstrate it to his friends and acquaintances. But this flower can be planted at home.
The most common way to grow roses is from cuttings that are taken from ground roses. This method of propagation is suitable for climbing roses, floribunda, miniature varieties, hybrid polyanthus. Harvesting of planting material is carried out in the fall from annual semi-lignified or green shoots. In this case, you should choose those that are located on the side and are not very developed. The rules for growing roses from cuttings are quite simple. Unsuitable for this purpose are grassy young and fatty shoots. It is necessary to choose annual stems that have already completed growth, their thickness can be from four to five millimeters. Their high rooting will contribute to the high content of carbohydrate in them. Selected shoots should be with buds. On the stem, choose a gap with two or one internode, respectively, with two or three leaves.
The lower section should be made at an angle of forty-five degrees under the lower kidney, and the upper should be straight, five millimeters higher than the kidney. To reduce evaporation, it is recommended to completely cut off the bottom sheet. Before growing roses from cuttings, they must be processed. Use growth stimulants. They are able not only to accelerate the rooting of the plant, but also to increase its roots. For this purpose, an aqueous solution of the preparation "Heteroauxin" (200 ml) is suitable. The lower end of the lignified handle should be immersed in it by two-thirds and left for 2 days. Planting material obtained from the green stems of the plant is dipped in a weaker solution of the same preparation (forty-forty-five milligrams per liter of water) and kept in it for 12-15 hours.
Do not assume that learning how to grow homemade roses is a troublesome business. You just need to know what care flowers need. After the “bath” from the root, cuttings are recommended to be placed in moist moss or peat. Planting material can be stored at home in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Also an acceptable option is to ground them with ground. At home, flowers can be planted in boxes after callus is formed on the stems. Seedlings should be almost completely buried in the ground and be in an inclined position. Then they must be abundantly watered and sprayed several times a day. To prevent moisture from evaporating, the seedlings must be covered on top: with polyethylene, a plastic bottle, glass.
An experienced flower grower, explaining how to grow a rose, will definitely recommend, in addition to planting seedlings in a pot of sand and soil, another way to breed them. It is quite simple. Cut the cuttings should be lowered into boiled water, regularly change it. Seedlings should be kept this way until the roots are formed, this happens after twenty to thirty days. Then they can be planted and kept on the windowsill. If we compare options for how to grow roses from cuttings, we can conclude: the most successful is planting plants for rooting in pots with fertile soil.
