What kind of tree stump is used for grafting rose trees?
Today, the editor will elaborate on the methods and precautions of rose grafting, as well as related topics such as what kind of tree stump is used for grafting rose trees. Next, the editor will introduce these.
Rose flowers are very beautiful, with a variety of species, numerous postures, colorful and vibrant, making them a beautiful landscape in the courtyard of rural homes. Rose flowers, roses, and蔷薇 flowers (Rosa multiflora), these three flowers of the same family are known as the 'Three Sisters of蔷薇' by people.
They belong to the same genus of the蔷薇 family, deciduous shrub flowers. Rose flowers are a type of flower that is popularly loved by the public because of their climbing vines, tree stump types, creeping types, and miniature roses, etc., which are deeply loved by people.
Rose flowers are originally from the蔷薇 family, a type of deciduous shrub flower. There are many types of propagation methods for rose flowers, such as cutting propagation, grafting propagation, and seed propagation. The most common are cutting and grafting, but each has its own propagation characteristics.
The characteristics of rose grafting include multiple varieties, multiple colors, and multiple shapes on one tree, which can be planted in the open field, in flowerpots, or indoors, etc. The rootstock for rose grafting can be wild tree stumps, also known as '下山桩', and beautiful tree stumps can be chosen to shape the roses, making them more unique.
The use of rose grafting rootstock is a common form of rose propagation.
The selection of rootstock is very important, as it is related to the survival rate of the grafted roses. If the plants are not of the same family, genus, or species, they will not have affinity, and the cut wounds will not heal after grafting. Only蔷薇 family plants can be used as rootstock to ensure successful grafting.
Rosaceae plants are divided into three types: trees, shrubs, and vines.
These three types of Rosaceae plants can be used as rootstock for rose grafting, but some Rosaceae plants are difficult to survive when used as rootstock for grafting roses, with low survival rates or even impossible to survive, requiring the use of plant growth regulators to help improve the survival rate of grafting.
For example, tree-type Rosaceae plants include red-leafed plums, peach trees, flowering plums, cherries, mountain peaches, hawthorns, quinces, and mountain flowers, among others. Among them, mountain flowers have a simple grafting method and are the most successful type of rootstock.
Shrubs include spiraea, meadowsweet, weeping cherry, kerria, and firethorn, among others, which are also good rootstocks. High grafting skills and techniques are required during grafting to improve the survival rate.
Vining Rosaceae tree stumps, such as perennial white wild roses and red wild roses, should be selected with sturdy stems and corrected plant shapes, with the main stem diameter not too thick and moderate; the age of the stump should not be too old, as vitality decreases, and 2-3-year-old plants are recommended.
For shrub-type Rosaceae plants, it is best to choose a single plant. Perennial vines with thicker diameters are suitable as rootstock, while smaller ones are not suitable.
Grafting must be patient and careful, with standardized cutting techniques. The cuts must fit tightly, and the wrapping must be tight and watertight, without exposing the white inner part, to promote wound healing and improve the survival rate of grafting. The best grafting season is generally from the beginning of Spring Festival to the end of the period of惊蛰 (Jingzhe).
The above introduction to the methods and precautions of rose grafting and the methods of what kind of tree stump is used for grafting rose trees can be used as a reference and suggestion for everyone.
