How to propagate climbing roses from cuttings
The editor will tell you about how to propagate climbing roses from cuttings and the topics of climbing rose cutting methods and timing. Let's take a look together!
Climbing roses are very beautiful ornamental flowering plants. With proper care, they can bloom a large number of bright and colorful flowers in spring. They look like a sea of flowers when they bloom together. Their propagation method is relatively simple, with cutting being the most common. Let's introduce it below.
One, Cutting Time
The blooming period of climbing roses is in April every year. After the flowers fade, it is necessary to prune the entire plant. At this time, the branches can be cut and used for cutting. The temperature is relatively suitable, and the branches are highly active, making cutting more likely to succeed.
Two, Preparation
Prepare the branches and soil for cutting in advance. The branches can be those that have bloomed. These branches are highly active and store a lot of nutrients, which can help them root better. The length of the branches should be about 10 to 15 centimeters, with two buds left on top, then prune the leaves, leaving a pair, and then soak the wound in carbendazim for disinfection.
The soil can be a mixture of peat soil and vermiculite. Initially, there is no need for a large pot. Using a disposable cup for cutting is fine. Then, make some holes at the bottom of the cup, place it in a tray filled with water, and put it in a place with ventilation and a bit of scattered light.
Three, Temporary Planting
About a month later, the branches can grow new roots. At this time, they can be temporarily planted in a small pot. Be sure not to add any fertilizer. Simply choose some peat soil and a smaller pot, which will prevent the roots from getting闷 (stifled). First, place it in a place with scattered light for ten days and then gradually expose it to sunlight.
Four, Grafting Propagation
Besides cutting propagation, grafting can also be used. Choose wild rose seedlings as the rootstock, and the timing is early spring. First, make a cut a slit on the rootstock, then insert the bud of the branch into the slit, and wrap it with a plastic bag to secure it.
