How to propagate roses from cuttings in autumn. High survival rate!
Good day, readers of "The Secret"! Propagation by cuttings of roses has become a byword. Sunesh in potato - growing tuber and flower rot. Formed the roots in water - seedling dies after landing on a flower bed. Today I'll show the way, which is practiced in the fall and gained a lot of positive feedback from the growers and those wishing to top up your holiday rosary. I hope you like it and the way.
The remarkable fall propagation by cuttings of roses
The best time for grafting roses - spring and autumn. But most gardeners prefer the second option, because:
- Cuttings remain after binding of the autumn crop of the rosary. It's a pity to throw them, right?
- If the stalk take root, then immediately let the spring in growth. And cuttings planted in the spring, will think longer.
- Natural plant goes low temperature quenching. In case of success rose to become less capricious weather, than the "spring" relatives.
- In autumn you can still determine where a variety of flower and its coloring. This facilitates the reproduction of desirable items that are no longer liked.
By the way, even if in the winter the upper part of the cutting die, all is not lost. Cut the top of the spring lifeless - and of the lower dormant buds will young leaves!
How to cut the cuttings of roses
Cuttings combine with pruning a rose bush on schedule gardening:
- For breeding pick snippets of healthy stem roses that do not have signs of botanical diseases and pests. This greatly increases the chances of success of the event!
- Escape should not be too young. Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive the winter frosts. The optimum thickness - about 4-5 mm.
- Divide cut into pieces an escape. Each the handle must be developed multiple kidney least - 3.
- Sections were sharp shears diagonally! It is desirable to disinfect blade. I use a cheap Chlorhexidine.
- The lower section - below the kidneys, the top - above it. With a margin of 2-3 cm.
- Slice need to dry (of an hour). For further prevention of decay can dip it in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, sprinkle ground cinnamon or pounded charcoal.
- Leaves only need to plant at home, in the winter they will be superfluous ballast. You can leave 1-2 leaves.
Planting material ready? Go to the landing.
How to plant the cuttings of roses fall to increase the likelihood of survival
I will not paint, it is important to prepare the earth to dig, pick weeds, choose a place where there is no water accumulates. Fertilizer is enough to throw a handful of compost or humus. Although, as shown, if you are planting a sapling is not clay, not sand it under favorable conditions, will demonstrate an enviable survival.
Council: I recommend not to use chemical fertilizers and growth stimulants roots like "Kornevina", although you can find many of these recommendations. Our task - to grow a healthy sapling natural by that he then survived on a bed in natural conditions.
Better to do this:
- Plug the stalk into the ground at an angle. Honestly, I'm not going to try to be clever, and I confess that I do not know why it is needed. If you know, write in comments. Personally, I found the only practical advantage - when cutting roots and the roots grow, stalk visually lifted.
- Cover jar, or a cut plastic bottle. It is very likely you will protect it from frost. I prefer the plastic, because it is possible to make a small hole for ventilation. Without fresh air (albeit cold), humidity may be too excessive and cause rot.
- shelter agrovoloknom, lutrasilom or spruce branches. Simple film does not recommend, because it is not fit to be ventilated.
We are waiting for spring and see what goes into the stalk growth! Of course, the multiplication of roses is always fraught with great difficulties and risks. Therefore, plant a few cuttings - one of them, but survives. Place a "Thumbs up", you love roses, and the material was interesting. Thanks!
