In summer, fragrant plants in your own garden or in a public flower bed will not leave anyone indifferent. This is especially true of the queen of flowers - roses. Lush bushes with colorful buds require special care and knowledge. How to propagate a rose? This question is of interest not only to amateur gardeners, but also to those who decide to engage in the cultivation of this plant on an industrial scale.
How to propagate a rose by layering? This method is most suitable for plants with long and flexible stems: shrubby and climbing. The soil on which layering will take root is fertilized with peat. With the beginning of spring, the bark of an annual stem is cut at the eye, the length of the cut is about 8 cm. The shoot is lowered into a shallow hole, pinning it with flyers, and sprinkled with earth. The end of the sprout should be in an upright position, so it is tied to a peg. Land should be watered regularly. After a year, the shoot will take root, and it can be transplanted. In the first season, the flower should not bloom, the buds are cut.
If there is no time for grafting or grafting, and the task is how to propagate the rose in the easiest way, then dividing the bush is ideal. It is used for breeding root miniature and park flowers. Before budding, the plants dig a bush from the ground. Then they are divided into two (maximum three) parts so that each has a root system. The resulting small bush is planted on the previous site. In order for plants to successfully winter, having grown more roots, in the first year of flowering, buds must be cut.
Breeding roses with cuttings is suitable for varieties such as miniature, climbing, most of the shrubby, vigorous floribunda. As for the wrinkled park look and many varieties of yellow flowers, this method is unacceptable to them.
A positive point with this type of breeding is the lack of wild shoots. But root-bearing roses are frost - resistant, and they are stored in the winter in a basement or other place with a temperature within 2-4 degrees of heat.
Consider how to
propagate a rose by cuttings. Green stems during the budding period of plants are cut and cut into several parts with two buds. In this case, the lower cut is made oblique, and the upper one is straight. Ready cuttings are treated with fugnicide and any special substance for root formation. They are necessary to prevent fungal diseases. Leaves are cut by one third. This is important so that the plant does not lose a lot of moisture. Sometimes the stems are placed in boiled water for 20-30 days before planting, but can be planted at an angle in a greenhouse in a mixture of sand, earth and peat. Leaves of cuttings should not touch. It is necessary for the plant to be in the greenhouse at a temperature of 22-25 degrees and at 90 percent humidity. As soon as the first leaves appear, the shelter is aired, and then completely cleaned. For the winter, such roses are again placed in pots and stored indoors, hiding from frost.
There is still not one way how to propagate a rose: vaccination, seeds, budding, root offspring. The considered types of flower breeding are the most common and successful, they give 80% of the positive result.
