What should be done if the branch of the climbing rose breaks in half during traction?
Many rose lovers often experience the phenomenon of breaking branches when牵引 (pulling) the climbing roses. Breaking branches is still relatively better, as it can be saved. However, if it is completely severed, there is no way to补救. So today, let's talk about how to avoid breaking and snapping branches during the traction process of climbing roses.
Tips to prevent breaking branches during traction
When牵引 (pulling) climbing roses, if we can do the following points, we can basically avoid the phenomenon of breaking or snapping branches.
1. The action should be gentle
When pulling climbing roses, the action must be gentle. Do not suddenly pull the branches hard. Sudden force on the branches without stress buffering time can easily lead to snapped branches.
Therefore, when牵引 (pulling) climbing roses, the action should be gentle, and the pulling movement should be slow. Do not rush.
2. The area of force should be large
When pulling, you should grasp the upper part of the branch for traction, especially for long and thick branches. Pulling the top of the branch will naturally form an arch, which increases the area of force and is less likely to cause snapped branches.
First, make an overall angle bend, and then make local adjustments. If the branch is hard, before pulling, one hand can grasp the lower part of the branch, and the other hand can grasp the upper part, shaking the middle section of the branch left and right to increase the plant's flexibility, which can greatly reduce the risk of branch breakage.
3. Avoid pulling from the lower part of the branch
When pulling, be sure to avoid starting from the bottom, especially for thick branches. If you pull directly from the position close to the bottom, it is easy to cause the branch to break off from the plant, resulting in the loss of the entire branch. This point should be especially noted.
4. Use rotation instead of bending
When pulling, if you encounter a turning point, the angle of the bend can be slightly larger. At the turning point, since the branch is under great stress, you must bend it slowly. While bending, pay attention to listen. If you hear a sound of breaking from the branch, stop the operation immediately and return a little angle, and then secure it.
If the corner is small, the branch often cannot withstand such a great force, so you can use rotation instead of direct bending. Twisting the branch can increase its flexibility and is less likely to cause snapped branches, which is very suitable for pulling at positions with small turning angles.
Remedial measures for broken branches of climbing roses?
If there is a branch breakage during the traction of climbing roses, for branches that are not severely broken, we can挽回 them through remedial measures.
If the branch is only bent but the bark is not broken, we can leave it as is, and the branch can still sprout and bloom normally. If part of the epidermis of the branch is broken, we need to wrap the broken part with plastic wrap or electrical tape.
Wrapping is to protect the branch from further breakage and also to maintain moisture, so that the wound does not dry out or become infected, causing the branch to rot. If the branch is completely broken, there is really no way to save it, which is regrettable.
Traction is a meticulous job that requires our carefulness and patience. For specific traction methods, you can refer to the introduction in the book "How to Raise a Bursting Rose from Scratch" that I have written. You can add me to watch the demonstration video of pulling climbing roses.
