How long does it take for rose cuttings to root
A comprehensive introduction to how long it takes for rose cuttings to root and the experience of green plant maintenance in understanding the propagation steps of roses, please see the detailed introduction below.
The hot summer has passed, and it is now considered autumn. The weather in autumn is relatively cool, and the leaves of many plants gradually turn yellow and fall. In fact, autumn is also a good season for growing flowers. The pruning, cutting, fertilizing, and repotting of many plants are done in autumn.
Like roses, they are suitable for pruning, fertilizing, and propagating by cuttings in autumn. If you also have roses at home, you can cut a few pots appropriately while pruning. It will take about a week for them to root, and then they can be potted for planting.
Some people worry that after autumn comes the cold winter and that the cuttings might be frostbitten. However, the low temperatures of winter are not a problem for the cuttings of roses. They can still be well cared for even in the cold winter, as long as we keep them indoors.
Explanation of rose cutting steps:
Selecting rose branches
Most roses in autumn have already begun to wither, and some even start to fade in the summer. The branches we choose for cuttings are the ones that have withered flowers, which are the most suitable because they contain a high amount of nutrients, and the flowering branches are usually the new branches of the current year. Old branches are difficult to root, so using new branches is the best choice.

Pruning branches:
Cut the branches after the flowers have faded, with a length of about 15-20 centimeters, preferably with two leaves to promote photosynthesis. The branches should not be too short or too long, as leaves promote photosynthesis and increase the secretion of chlorophyll.
Place the pruned branches in a solution of carbendazim for disinfection for 2 minutes, not too long, as a longer time can prevent the branches from rooting.
Take the branches out of the carbendazim solution and let them air-dry naturally, then coat the cut ends with rooting hormone or rooting powder.
