How to grow roses from the cuttings of a bouquet

Delicate roses in a bouquet are always an appropriate addition to a celebration or a romantic meeting. We will tell you how to recreate the fleeting beauty of flowers from a bouquet in your garden, and also help you to prepare cuttings from which the annual flowering bushes will later grow.

When is it better to harvest cuttings

Spring is the optimal time to get cuttings of roses, but the maximum number of viable shoots remains after the autumn pruning of roses for the winter. During this period, material is also harvested for reproduction, and in greater quantities, since not all of them will germinate.

Regardless of the season, when cutting stems, it is important to observe the following conditions:

• Shoots taken from a healthy, developed and strong plants;
• branches must not be damaged by frost;
• there should be well-defined buds in the leaf axils;
• cutting tools must be sharp and clean;
• the process is preferably carried out in dry weather.

The most viable cuttings are considered from the shoots on which the buds are formed. Root material from the bouquets can be all year round, extending the daylight fitolampa using growth stimulants, but the best time for this is spring and summer.

Important! The rate of emergence of the roots depends on many factors, variety, season, weather, and can be very different.

How to cut cuttings

When cutting planting material from a bouquet using stems 0.7-1 cm thick. It is important that the flowers are fresh.

This is determined by the following features:

• stem is elastic, has a uniform light green color;
• the skin on the stem is smooth, smooth, glossy, without spots;
• leaves and bud fresh, without damage.

Carefully inspect the bottom of the stem. Find a place with 3-4 viable kidneys. They are located in the place of attachment of the sheet, look like lighter tubercles. The kidneys should be sufficiently pronounced, not have darkening, black tips and injuries.

We recommend reading about how to care for a rose in a pot, into which groups roses are divided, how to fertilize roses, what are the main diseases of roses and how to treat them, what are the differences between roses and rosehips, and how to choose a covering material for roses.

Having chosen a suitable place, cut the stem under the lower bud, departing 1-2 cm from it. The upper cut of the stalk will be 1-2 cm above the upper bud.

How to root

Root the resulting material in several ways. Each of them has its own advantages and is tested by gardeners in practice.

In water

Harvested cuttings put in a container of water, immersing the tips in the water to ¼ length. To increase the chances of success, they can be pre-soaked in a solution that not only stimulates root growth, but also protects against diseases. The container is kept in a warm place, the water is changed daily.

Water should be at room temperature, purified or separated 48 hours. As soon as the roots appear in the lower section, the seedlings are transplanted into nutritious soil in a pot or open ground, if temperature permits. The advantage of this method is simplicity and accessibility.

Familiarize yourself with the varieties and nuances of growing Dutch, climbing, tea, standard, bush, ground cover, park, Canadian and English roses.

In the soil

For rooting in the soil, in addition to cuttings, you will need the following materials:

• a pot of 0.5-0.7 liters, with large drainage holes in the bottom;
• root growth stimulator, a biological product for the prevention of root rot;
• the soil;
• plastic bottle with a cap.

Important! It is better to use a special soil mixture for roses, its composition is optimally selected for these flowers, the soil is free from pests.

The lower section of the cutting is dipped into root powder to stimulate root growth. The cutting is buried in the ground, leaving 2 buds on the surface. The distance from the lower bud to the surface of the earth is 2-3 cm. The seedling is watered, and dry soil is added to the pot, since after watering the soil is slightly settled.

To protect against dry air, especially during the heating season, the stalk is covered with a transparent cap. It is nothing like the top of a cut plastic bottle with a cap. For airing the handle cover unscrew. As rooting, airing time increases.

Flowerpot put in a warm, well-lit place, under indirect sunlight or slightly pritenyayut. It is also important to avoid drafts. Successfully rooted cuttings with the onset of heat are planted in a permanent place.

In the package

To root the cuttings in this way, you will need 2 clean garbage bags, water and several newspapers. The prepared cuttings without leaves are wrapped in several layers of a newspaper, previously soaked in clean water and pressed. The newspaper is folded, tightly closing the ends, the cuttings must be completely closed.

Frequent problems and errors beginners

Even experienced gardeners relate to the removal of seedlings of roses from a bouquet as an experiment, the results of which cannot be accurately predicted.

Here are the factors that will reduce the likelihood of success:

• the use of stems, long standing in the water, as well as touched by frost;
• attempt to use flowers soaked in preservatives;
• too high humidity;
• stagnant water in the pot from excessive watering;
• insufficient watering;
• low air temperature, drafts;
• too dry air.

Reviews from the network

On the handle you need to bury the lower kidney into the ground, the roots begin to grow from it. The cutting is preferably planted at an angle. (But I do not do that, then it is inconvenient to place a jar). There will be no root from the cutting itself. Yes, the stalk under the can will feel great, build up the leaves. You take off the can and ... everything is gone. I was like that too. I found it from the Internet ... "After the flowers stood in a vase for several days and the buds began to fade, the most important part of my work began. On each branch, I cut a bud, left 4-7 buds, and cut all the leaves by a third. I planted everything in the front garden, each branch for a separate three-liter jar (4 buds in the ground). And I watered every third day. I planted roses in early spring, when my branches were already warm with good roots. The following spring I planted all of them on the site and I have in the summer, in the first once my roses bloom, albeit small, but very beautiful. "

Put the cutting in the water. when he gives the roots - you can repot in the pot. Usually I choose the stalk so that there are 2-3 buds, from the bottom see 2-2.5. (maybe not right. but it grows with me) I make drainage in a pot, peat with sand on top, and in a proportion of 1/2 (i.e., I share peat, 2 sand). Mineral fertilizer and the one that is sold in the store for roses. They put it in a pot, poured it on, covered it with a plastic tube (well, they took a plastic bottle and cut it from the top to the bottom. That’s what happened), and pulled a film on top. The day is closed, then it closes for the night, we open it during the day, after 5 days we remove the tube. That's when something sensible grows up - you can replant it from the pot into the ground. If there is a sharp temperature drop at night, it is better to cover. For the winter, we cut the rose, leaving all the same 2-3 buds (more can be used, of course), cover with a wooden box and cover with spruce leaves, sawdust, well, or so. what is. the main thing is to be warm.

I'm growing up. The only thing sometimes cuttings turn into a dick. and you get not a rosebush, but a huge bush of something green and prickly.

You can grow a rose yourself by planting the cut stem in a pot. A pot (plastic cup) should have enough soil and nutrients to develop a good root system; tear off buds that appear - do not let the roses bloom to the detriment of rooting. If the cup is plastic, carefully cut it and transplant the rose, trying to keep the earthen ball intact, in a pot with good drainage, keep at home until autumn. In the fall, put a pot with a rose in the garden in partial shade for several days, spray it - after hardening, plant a rose in the ground. When cold weather comes, roll up the rose with dry sand and cover with a 3-liter glass jar (or a 5-liter plastic bottle with a cut-off bottom), sprinkle with a jar of soil and cover with a spruce top - the rose has a good winter. In the spring, gradually remove the shading and train the rose to fresh air.
