When is the best time to plant rose stems? How to plant rose stems so that they can survive?

Rose is a common plant in life. Because of its gorgeous flowers and strong fragrance, many people will keep one or two at home. So when should rose stems be grafted? How to graft rose stems to make them survive easily? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

When is the best time to take cuttings of rose stems?

Except for summer, other times are fine. Spring (May) and autumn (October) are the best, when the temperature is between 20-25℃, which is most suitable for cuttings.

How to make rose stems survive easily by cuttings

1. Choice of branches: any disease-free branches from the current year or the previous year can be used (semi-lignified branches are best).

2. Processing of branches: branch thickness (0.2cm-.08cm diameter), length (8cm-15cm length), leave 3-4 nodes, and bury 1-2 nodes in the soil.

3. Medium for cuttings: If conditions permit, you can use pure vermiculite or perlite for cuttings. If conditions do not permit, ordinary garden soil can also be used.

4. Management after cutting: The flower pots that have been used for cuttings should be placed in a place without direct sunlight. The potting soil should be sprayed with water every day within 10 days. Except for rainy days, it can be sprayed once on cloudy days and twice when the climate is dry, but the amount of water sprayed every day should not be too much.

After 10 days, you should still keep the soil moist. Shade it for 4-5 weeks, and then gradually let it receive some sunlight after germination. It usually takes about 2 months for the roots to take shape. After that, you only need to maintain it normally.

What to do if the rose stem grafted with rose stem turns black?

1. One side of the pole grafted

The sap flow on the opposite side of the stem is weak or does not flow, so disuse necrosis occurs. The solution is generally to symmetrically graft two or three buds on both sides of the stem, usually at the same height, to avoid the blackening of one side of the stem. It is important to note that if the tree rose is grafted on the side branches, and only one bud is grafted on one side branch, this situation will also occur. Therefore, it is recommended that the side branch grafting also adopt the method of symmetrically grafting two buds on one branch.

2. Annular necrosis in the middle of the pole

Generally, this kind of dryness and blackening does not require special treatment unless the humidity is too high and causes bacterial growth. In particular, for necrosis in the middle of the trunk, there may still be a part of the bark left alive. Once it is peeled off, there is no hope at all. And there is not much hope if you want to cut such a trunk and re-graft it, because the previous cuttings have consumed too much of the nutrients of the pole, and the pole is basically in a state of nutrient depletion at this time. If you want to solve the problem, cut it off, graft a seedling root rose under the pole and re-graft it. There is hope, but it is better to get a new rose pole for cuttings than to waste this effort.
