An easy and 100% survival rose propagation method simpler than cutting
This article provides an explanation on an easy and 100% survival rose propagation method in the aspect of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will introduce it to everyone.

Rose breeding series: Article 99
As mentioned yesterday, the series of rose articles will come to an end after reaching 100 articles. Today is the 99th article, where I will share a unique rose propagation technique that guarantees 100% survival and is much simpler than cutting.
This method is the high-altitude layering of roses!
Many flower friends may have heard of layering, but when it comes to high-altitude layering, most flower friends probably don't have a clear understanding. Today, I will teach you how to use the high-altitude layering method to propagate new rose plants step by step.
Before discussing the method of high-altitude layering, let everyone prepare the things needed for high-altitude layering.
Materials needed:
1. A little dried sphagnum moss, 2. A plastic bag, 3. A craft knife, 4. A piece of rope
Alright, just prepare these four materials. Now, let's operate together.
High-altitude layering operation method:
Prepare the rose you want to layer. Whether it is potted or planted in the ground, it is fine. I have chosen a potted rose to demonstrate to everyone.
Identify the position for layering, which is generally below the bud. In this way, after cutting and planting, the bud can sprout strong suckers. To facilitate the operation, remove the leaves of the selected bud, as well as other leaves and branches that hinder the operation.
Make a circumferential incision 0.8-1cm below the bud, first make an incision up and down, then cut the bark open from the middle, so that the bark ring can be peeled off.
Easy and 100% survival rose propagation method
Note that the incision should not be too deep to avoid cutting the branch. The width of the circumferential incision should be 1.5-1.8 times the diameter of the branch. If the incision is too small, the wound will heal too quickly and it will not easily grow roots.
Tie one end of the plastic bag below the incision to wrap the medium.
Wrap the soaked sphagnum moss, squeeze out the excess water, around the incision, then wrap it with a plastic bag and tie the opening securely. Note that the sphagnum moss should be imported and not domestic moss, as domestic moss has poor water retention and may dry out before the roots grow, making it麻烦 to rehydrate. Wrap it well with imported moss, and you don't need to worry about it until the roots grow.
