Propagation by cuttings of garden roses bouquet

How we would like the bouquet of roses given to us to please us as long as possible, but time passes and the roses wither. However, there is a way to extend the life of enchanting roses for many years – this is to root them in the soil. If everything is done correctly, then soon luxurious rose bushes can grow from rose cuttings.

Preparing cuttings from a bouquet

You can grow a rose from cuttings only from high-quality material. You can hear the opinion that cuttings should be harvested when the rose petals have not yet fallen, others argue that this should be done after the petals have fallen. The less time the bouquet stays in water, the greater the chances of growing beautiful roses from it.

Additional Information! You need to ensure that the bouquet of roses is constantly standing in clean water. If the stems begin to rot in the water, then it is impossible to grow a bush from a cutting, since harmful organisms will get into the stems and roots will not form.

A bouquet of roses needs to be looked after. Before they are lowered into water, the stems are cut at an angle. At night, the bouquet is immersed in water, leaving only flowers on the surface.

 Cuttings from the stem

After admiring the beauty of the bouquet, after a few days you can begin preparing cuttings. It is this method that is used to mainly grow rose gardens. What needs to be done to make a beautiful flower grow from unsightly twigs? You need to know how to properly cut cuttings from the stem. High-quality material will be obtained   from the middle of the stem, with three buds.

The pieces are cut straight at the top and diagonally at the bottom. For work, a sharp tool is used – a knife or pruning shears. The upper incision is treated with a disinfectant. After such manipulations, the prepared material is ready for germination.

Methods for rooting rose seedlings.

When growing rose bushes from a bouquet, you need to pay attention to the cuttings so that they take root. How to do this correctly? There are several popular methods for rooting seedlings. Place in a moist nutrient medium, it can be: soil, water, potatoes. Or wrap the raw materials in damp paper. Cuttings from varieties of local roses are more amenable to germination.

Note! Imported flowers are treated with a special product to make them last longer. This makes it difficult for roots to germinate. These roses have the opportunity to germinate, but they will take longer to form roots.

The best time to grow roses from cuttings is spring and summer. In winter, you can save the cuttings by burying them in the ground and covering them well.

You can speed up the process of root germination using a growth stimulator by placing the material in the solution from the stimulator for 6 hours.
As a home remedy, you can make a growth stimulator from a solution of honey or aloe juice, soaking them for a day.

Germination in water

Cut and prepared petioles are immersed in water, which is changed every other day. The container is placed in a bright place. After a certain time, you can see thickenings on the sections that form roots.

In pots with nutritious soil

 In pots with nutritious soil, shoots germinate fastest

In pots with nutritious soil, shoots germinate fastest, so this method is the most popular. You can use plastic glasses. A drainage of small pebbles is placed at the bottom of the container, the next layer is soil, and sand is on top. The soil should be loose and fertile.

After planting the cuttings in pots, water them well and cover the top with a glass jar or plastic bag. Such roses are planted in the garden when they have formed good shoots.

For this method, a healthy and powerful tuber is selected by removing or cutting out the eyes in it. Make a hole and place the sprout in it. We lower the tuber into the prepared hole and cover it with soil. Cover the top with a transparent object, creating a greenhouse effect. Gradually, when small shoots appear, they are opened for a short time: this is how the plant adapts to natural conditions.

Burrito Method

The cuttings are wrapped tightly on all sides in damp newspaper and placed in a thick dark bag and stored in a cool place. They are periodically inspected, turned over, and unsuitable ones are removed. You need to monitor the moisture content of the paper all the time.
With these simple methods you can grow a rose garden in your garden.
