The rose can rightly be called the queen of flowers. She looks elegant not only in exquisite bouquets, but also in the garden. Contrary to popular belief, a rose is not a delicate and fragile plant. It is important to choose the right varieties for the climate and geographical features of the site. And then each planting of cuttings of roses in the future will delight 100% survival. In the case of the correct selection of the plant variety, it is easy to make sure that this beautiful flower is not picky at all, tolerates frosty and snowy winters, has not only steady, but also long flowering, which lasts several months.
Planting of roses with cuttings in spring is carried out from late May to early June. It is this small gap that is the most favorable moment for
plant propagation. Cuttings of an overwhelming number of rose varieties belonging to the groups of climbing, floribunda, polyanthus, miniature and rare tea-hybrid are very well rooted. Only seedlings of
park roses take root poorly
.Planting cuttings of roses is the easiest and most time-consuming way to propagate this beautiful, elegant plant. The main thing here is to correctly select planting material. A stem is a part of an escape with at least two internodes. Necessarily the lower cut is done with a sharp razor - obliquely along the diagonal of the trunk. It is located a few millimeters under the kidney. The upper cut can also be made transverse, it will be located above the second kidney by 5 millimeters. The lower leaves are cut off completely, and the uppermost ones are only half.
In order for the planting of rose cuttings to be successful and the seedling to take root, preliminary processing of the planting material is necessary. It consists in soaking the lower ends of the cuttings in a heteroauxin solution for 12-14 hours. After processing, they are placed obliquely in the sand, the distance between plants should be at least 5 cm, planting depth - 2 cm. Next, greenhouses with seedlings are covered with frames and must be shaded.
Of course, planting roses with cuttings does not end there, for another two weeks seedlings are often sprayed - up to 5 times a day. The optimum temperature for rooting is from 20 to 22 degrees, so in hot weather the greenhouses open a little 5-10 cm and ventilate. Humidity should not be lower than 90%. During these two weeks, calluses form in the cuttings, and after a while, the roots. After a month, the number of sprayings is reduced to 2 per day. Rooted seedlings remain in the greenhouse to winter.
The following year, roses cuttings are planted in open ground. The best time is early June, especially if the weather is cloudy outside. Seedlings carefully spilled in advance with water. They transplant roses with a clod of earth, in no case without exposing the roots. 12 days after planting, they are fertilized with organic fertilizers, as a rule, with infusion of mullein with ammonium nitrate. When watering young seedlings of roses, it is necessary to focus on weather conditions. Watering is necessary either in the early morning or in the evening.
