Rose Tree Grafting
Answering netizens' questions about rose planting, rose tree grafting, here is a detailed introduction.
It is possible to graft roses of different colors onto one tree, which is rose tree grafting. Although it seems simple, there are some detailed issues that rose lovers need to pay attention to, such as choosing varieties with similar blooming periods.
Before talking about grafting, let's first understand what kind of tree species are used for rose tree grafting.
The rootstock for grafting roses can be mountain sweet osmanthus, wild rose, golden cherry, and thornless rose. If some rose lovers can't find these, they can buy thornless roses on Taobao, which should be the so-called 'little white.' Still, attention should also be paid to the store. Rose stems can also be used, preferably those with fewer thorns.
Now let's talk about grafting. I think roses can be grafted in all four seasons, at least in my area of Changsha. I have grafted roses in all seasons, but the grafts made in winter may not grow and have to wait until spring to sprout and grow. Moreover, it is relatively difficult to peel the bark in winter compared to summer and autumn.
The method used is bark grafting, which involves inserting the scion into the cambium layer of the rootstock, that is, between the bark and the wood, hence the name bark grafting, also known as sub bark grafting. When the cambium layer starts to activate and the bark and wood easily separate, it is not very easy to peel at the beginning of spring, usually it becomes easier as summer approaches, and the rootstock is generally required to be relatively thick. Bark grafting is simple to cut, easy to master, fast, and has a high survival rate.
However, the grafted plants can easily be blown off by the wind after surviving, so it is necessary to bind them to a support promptly.
I put the explanatory text in the pictures. There is a sentence in the following Figure 2 that says 'cut obliquely upwards' with the word 'up' missing. It means to cut a notched angle at the point where the bark peels off. Sometimes I don't cut it either, and I've seen some people say it should be cut.
