How to propagate the branches of Chinese roses quickly
The editor will tell you how to propagate the branches of Chinese roses quickly and the related knowledge of high survival rate cutting methods for Chinese roses. Detailed content will be shared next.
After cutting the Chinese roses, the leaves are very green, but the buds are all black.
Chinese roses can be cut all year round as long as the temperature is around 20 degrees. However, many rose enthusiasts have reported that the Chinese roses they cut never survive. Either they receive fake goods or the buds turn black, and the stems become black and the leaves turn yellow. What is the reason?
In fact, cutting Chinese roses, it is generally around the seventh day when there is a peak period of black stems and yellow leaves. If your branches and leaves are still green and healthy after about ten days, the survival rate of cutting is very high.
Therefore, if our cut Chinese roses show black buds within a week, it is very likely to spread to the entire branch turning black, which is caused by bacterial infection. Of course, it is also possible that only the surface of the bud is black, but the inside is still healthy.
How to propagate the branches of Chinese roses quickly
First, choose the branches
The branches for cutting Chinese roses must be strong and disease-free. Generally, old branches have strong resistance after cutting and are less likely to develop black stems. Branches that have finished flowering or are in bloom, even those with flower buds or new buds, can be cut for propagation.
However, branches with flower buds may be too weak, which increases the chance of infection. But new buds and branches that have just formed flower buds have very high vitality, and using these branches for cutting can actually result in faster root growth.
Second, process the branches
After selecting the branches, it is best to perform disinfection, which can be done with fungicides like carbendazim.
Then soak them in a root stimulator for a while. The roots that grow from the treated cuttings will be radiating around the wound, very thick and strong roots, unlike the thin and weak roots we grow ourselves. Generally, we often choose branches that have just finished flowering, as these branches have a higher degree of lignification and stronger resistance, so they are less likely to be infected by bacteria during cutting.
