How to make the Chinese rose produce more suckers?
This article will elaborate on how to make the Chinese rose produce more suckers, let's follow the editor to take a look!
: How to make the Chinese rose produce more suckers? First, make sure of these two points!
In the Aiwen Circle, some flower enthusiasts asked, why are the branches of the Chinese rose old and very hard, how to promote suckers? I believe many flower enthusiasts want to know about the methods to promote suckers in Chinese roses. In fact, the operation of promoting suckers is relatively simple, but before promoting suckers, we must make sure of one thing, which is whether your Chinese rose plant has the conditions for promoting suckers. If the plant itself is not suitable for producing suckers, even if you try to promote suckers, the effect will not be satisfactory.
Essential conditions for the Chinese rose to produce suckers
First of all, we need to understand what is meant by suckers in Chinese roses. Suckers in Chinese roses generally refer to the strong new branches that grow from the soil and the strong new branches that grow near the base of the plant. That is to say, suckers not only refer to the thick new branches that grow out of the soil from the base of the original thick old branches, but also count as suckers. It can be seen that the branches that can be called suckers must be relatively strong and grow rapidly.
Knowing the characteristics of suckers, let's think about the essential conditions for the Chinese rose to produce suckers.
1. Sufficient fertilizer and water
The normal growth pattern of Chinese rose plants has an apical dominance, where nutrients are preferentially supplied to the new buds at the top. Only when the nutrients of the Chinese rose are very abundant will the nutrients flow back to the nutrient buds at the base.
When the base buds receive sufficient nutrients, they start to swell gradually. With continuous fertilizer and water (G-Y), the base buds will grow into strong suckers. Because the buds accumulate a lot of nutrients and have a high content of growth hormone, the growth rate of the suckers will be very fast, thereby breaking the plant's original nutrient (G-Y) pattern and supplying most of the nutrients to the sucker growth.
2. Relatively healthy plant

Just having sufficient nutrients is not enough. With nutrients, the Chinese rose plant also needs to be able to absorb and utilize them fully, which requires the plant to be in a relatively healthy condition.
This health not only refers to the need for the branches and leaves of the Chinese rose to remain healthy and not be invaded by diseases and pests, but more importantly, the root system of the Chinese rose needs to remain healthy, and there should be no waterlogging or root rot, or root damage due to excessive fertilizer. If the roots of the Chinese rose are not good, even more fertilizer will not be absorbed and will be useless.
How to determine if the Chinese rose is suitable for promoting suckers?
When our Chinese rose has thin and weak branches, should we take measures to promote suckers? This also needs to be judged based on the condition of the plant.
