Roses are light-loving plants that prefer to grow in warm and humid environments. Rose cutting can be done in spring, summer, and autumn, as the climate is mild and suitable for cutting to survive. Below is a specific introduction to the cutting method of roses in summer.
I. Cutting Method
1. Selecting branches
Select strong branches from the rose plant, cut them to retain about 10 centimeters, and trim off all the lower leaves, retaining only 2 leaves and 2 buds, which is conducive to promoting the germination of new branches and convenient for cutting.
2. Disinfecting branches
Soak the selected branches in a carbendazim solution for 24 hours to disinfect and sterilize them. After taking them out and drying them, prepare for cutting.
3. Preparing soil
Rose cutting usually requires the use of loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. You can mix humus soil and sandy loam soil in a 1:1 ratio to ensure sufficient nutrients and promote root growth.
4. Planting cuttings
Insert the processed branches into the prepared soil and water them thoroughly. Spray water on the soil every 5-7 days to keep the soil moist while maintaining good ventilation. After 30 days, they can take root and germinate.
II. Precautions
1. Cutting time
The best time for rose cutting in summer is from July to September, specifically in the morning and evening when the temperature is suitable to avoid the high temperatures at noon. This timing ensures easy survival and a high survival rate after cutting.
2. Moderate watering
After successful rose cutting, when the buds and roots grow normally, they can be transplanted into flower pots. Do not water too much to avoid waterlogging. Water once every 7-10 days, keeping the soil moist during this period.
3. Sufficient lighting
After cutting roses, they need to be placed in a cool and well-ventilated position. After they take root and germinate, they can be exposed to normal lighting. Sufficient lighting conditions can promote more vigorous growth of the rose plant.
