What is the difference between Chinese roses and roses?
The editor answers for the netizens the small knowledge of raising flowers about the difference between Chinese roses and roses, the specific content is as follows:
Published a paid article a few days ago, which requires payment of 1 yuan to read. Although it's just one yuan, it has made me see a lot of true feelings and false intentions that are usually not seen. I am very grateful to every flower friend who supports it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I have been sharing breeding articles for six or seven years. A book called "How to Raise Chinese Roses from Scratch" came out a few days ago. Many flower friends have told me that they have read a lot of my articles and learned a lot of breeding skills. This book is definitely worth buying. It is because of your support that I can keep going until today. Thank you!
Today, let me introduce to you some of the pitfalls for beginners to buy Chinese rose seedlings. This is an article that can save money for both beginners and experienced flower friends. Okay, let's get to the point!
1. What is the difference between Chinese roses and roses?
Many beginner flower friends don't know the difference between Chinese roses and roses and often buy Chinese rose seedlings pretending to be roses from somewhere. In fact, there is a considerable difference between roses and Chinese roses, which can be seen from the leaves and branches.
First of all, the small leaves of roses are relatively many, often with 7-9 small leaves on a petiole. The leaves are relatively unfolded but have fine villi on them, and there are thorns on the back of the leaves, while the new tender plants have almost no thorns.
Chinese roses usually have 5-7 leaves, smooth and hairless. Chinese roses bloom on new branches, normally the suckers will bloom, but roses bloom on old branches, and new suckers do not bloom.
Based on the above information, we can determine whether the purchased plant is a Chinese rose or a rose by observing the leaves and blooming conditions.
2. Is the old Chinese rose stump good? Can it be bought?
Many flower friends ask if the old Chinese rose stump is good. This is not a good question. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Compared to its price, it does match its rank.
This kind of old stump is actually some old seedlings discarded from fresh cut flowers. For home flower friends, it can be bought. However, for variety, I personally think it's not necessary to be too concerned. They are usually cut rose varieties, which are rare in European rose stores.
But as an old stump, it may not grow well. That's okay, when strong branches grow out, you can do aerial layering to propagate new seedlings to update the plant. The method of aerial layering is introduced in detail in my new book "How to Raise Chinese Roses from Scratch" and has also been shared in previous articles, which you can find in my past articles.
3. Can you buy a toothpick seedling?
There are many toothpick seedlings on the internet. For新手 without breeding experience, I suggest being cautious. Experienced flower friends can start raising from toothpick seedlings, which can add a Chinese rose variety at a lower cost.
4. What should you pay attention to if you want to buy an extra-large seedling?
I have never recommended extra-large Chinese rose seedlings to flower friends. For新手, it can be difficult to slow down the seedlings.
However, a flower friend read my book yesterday, in which I also wrote not to buy extra-large seedlings. This flower friend may think that what I said is one-sided because the extra-large seedling he bought is growing well.
It looks pretty good, with quite a few flower buds. In fact, I just don't recommend it, not against it. It all depends on your personal choice. Just one thing, don't come to me for help when the extra-large seedling is half-dead and half-alive, because I don't have that ability. If you don't want to take my advice, don't feel sorry for cutting it, this problem has no solution!
If you really want to buy an extra-large seedling, don't worry about the RMB and try to choose one with a planting bag. That's all I have to say.
Let me show off my climbing Chinese roses again. The picture is the state of early spring last year, the aerial layering seedlings planted in the previous autumn.
This year, it has reached this state. Do you want to see beautiful photos when it blooms? See you on social media then! Do you want to know how I plant a Chinese rose wall? The answers are all in my new book "How to Raise Chinese Roses from Scratch".
Above is the specific introduction of the difference between Chinese roses and roses brought by Green Plant Enthusiast Network. I hope you will like it!
