Here are the details about the knowledge of when roses have the highest survival rate for grafting.
When is the best time for roses to be grafted for high survival rate
Rose Grafting Time
Roses can be grafted all year round, but it is generally best to graft in spring and autumn, as the climate is suitable and they grow rapidly with a high survival rate.
In terms of maintenance experience, roses usually have the highest survival rate when grafted in autumn, specifically from the first ten days of September to the middle of October. The climate temperature at this time is more suitable, not too high or low, stable at 18 to 25 degrees, with moderate humidity, which is more conducive to survival.
Rose Grafting Methods
Rose grafting can choose cleft grafting and cut grafting in branch grafting, or嵌芽 grafting and T-bud grafting in bud grafting, all of which can successfully complete the grafting and make it grow new branches rapidly.
Wood-bonded bud grafting: Make a 1-2 cm斜切 on the sunny side of the rootstock about 5 cm from the ground, select a full bud on the prepared scion and embed it into the cut of the rootstock, then tie it up with a rope.
Rose Grafting Rootstock
The tree stump used for grafting roses can usually only be plants from the Rosaceae family, such as red-leaf plum, peach tree, cherry tree, hairy peach tree, apple tree, and firethorn, etc. These varieties can be grafted with roses. Also, the tree stump should not be too old when grafting, generally choosing a stump of 2 to 3 years old.
Post-Grafting Maintenance of Roses
For roses grafted outdoors, it is recommended to cover the grafting joint with a plastic bag. This can keep the scion moist and prevent rain. Leave a hole when bagging, as too much moisture is also not good. One week after grafting, if the scion has not dried up or withered and has not changed color, it indicates that it has survived.
