How can roses germinate more?
Do you know these? Let's follow the editor to learn some small knowledge about making roses germinate more!
Spring is the rapid germination period for roses. For young rose seedlings, if you want the roses to grow quickly and make the plant full with more buds, you need to treat them during the germination period to artificially promote more germination. So, how exactly should we do it?
Methods to promote more germination in roses
In spring after the roses have germinated and in early spring before they germinate, the methods to promote more germination are different. First, let's talk about the post-germination treatment.
Post-spring germination bud promotion method
After the roses have germinated in spring, if you want more new buds, the main method we adopt is topping. Especially for young rose seedlings with few branches, when strong sprouts appear, they should be topped promptly to promote more branching and make the plant full.
For grafted roses, after germination, in order to have more buds, topping should also be done promptly. When the grafted buds grow to 5-6 cm, they should be topped to promote branching again and also stimulate the hidden buds at the grafting points to sprout, thus obtaining more branches and making the grafted roses grow full and bloom faster.
Besides topping strong sprouts to promote branching, we can also do the same for other strong new branches to stimulate side branching. However, this will delay the blooming of roses, so whether to top or not is up to your judgment.
Methods to promote buds before early spring germination
The best time for promoting buds is in the early spring when roses have not yet germinated. If you want roses to have more buds in spring, you can retain more branches during pruning. However, when the branches are left long, the lower buds often do not sprout easily. In such cases, two small techniques can be used to promote more bud points to sprout.
1. Manually press down the rose branches
Using a heavy object or a rope to press down the branches of the rose to a near horizontal angle can promote the simultaneous germination of the bud points near the root and the top of the branches.

The image above shows the germination of the bottom bud points after pressing down the branches. It is relatively uniform, and this is a Romantic Biok, which has grown very vigorously after the pressing method.
2. Place the pot upside down for maintenance
If you find pressing down the branches too troublesome, a simpler method is to place the pot upside down. Placing the pot upside down has the same effect as pressing down the branches. Both can promote the uniform germination of the bud points on the rose branches.
No matter which method is used, after the rose bud points have germinated, the branches and pot should be promptly straightened to prevent the buds from growing crooked.
The detailed explanation above about how to make roses germinate more is hoped to bring you some help in green plant management!
