【One, Rose Cutting Method】
<1>
Rose cuttings are best done in spring and autumn. In spring, it's best to do it in early spring. If you cuttings after the weather warms up, the cuttings can easily cause the side buds to grow faster than the roots, leading to seedlings that can't provide enough water for new leaves because the roots haven't fully developed. Cutting in late autumn and early winter has a higher success rate than in spring.

First, select a young rose cutting with a heel, cut a small amount of wood at the stem with a sharp knife, treat it with a growth hormone, and then insert it into the cutting bed or a small pot. After pressing it down, water can be added, and the sand bed temperature should be kept constant, about 30 days to root, and then transplant after germination.
【Two, Semi-woody Rose Cuttings】
Semi-woody rose cuttings are done from June to September. Select branches of roses that have just finished blooming, cut off the flower stems, flatten the bottom, cut into 2-3 inch sections, remove the lower leaf, cut off any unhealthy young leaves, and treat with a growth hormone before inserting them into the same condition bed as above.

Select semi-woody branches with 1-2 leaves, flatten the base with a sharp knife, insert into a container filled with water, immerse the branch in water by 1/2, place it in a sunny place with a temperature of 15°C-20°C to encourage root growth. During the root promotion period, change the water in the container every 2-3 days. When the epidermis of the new roots on the branches turns light yellow or light brown, carefully plant them in a nutrient bag for cultivation.
【Four, Grafting】

Grafting can be done on a sunny morning. Select branches with full buds and no diseases, cut the scion with a knife, and the cut bud should have a small area of bark with wood. Make a cut of the same size on the rootstock 5 to 10 centimeters from the ground.

Then align the scion tightly against the cut, remove the petiole, expose the upward bud, and finally wrap it tightly with a plastic bag or plastic tape. After grafting, it will completely heal in half a month to a month, at which time you can remove the plastic bandage.
