Can Chinese rose cuttings survive in summer?

We know that winter is the suitable season for rose cutting propagation, and the survival rate of rose cutting in autumn and winter is high. Many friends ask: Can summer roses be cut? Here, Nanyang Shiyuan Rose tells you that summer roses can also be cut into seedlings.

Methods of cuttage and seedling raising of Chinese rose in summer;

1. Choose a disease-free female rose plant, cut off its robust rose branches as cuttings, cut off the redundant leaves on the monthly cuttings, and keep the top 2 ~ 3 leaves.

2. The cuttings can be soaked in rooting powder solution 10 ~ 20 minutes. After soaking, the cuttings need to be dried in the shade.

3. Prepare loose and breathable acid sandy soil, and then cut it after the cutting is healed.

4. Rose seedlings cut in summer must be watered after cutting, and the soil moisture content should be kept at about 85%. In order to keep the air humidity, the cutting basin can be properly shaded and covered with plastic film. Pay attention to leave vent holes on the membrane. When the temperature in the membrane is too high, the vent hole can be opened for ventilation and cooling.

5. After cutting, always observe the water mist or water droplets on the plastic film. If you see water mist or water droplets on the film, it means that there is no water shortage in the soil and the film. If there are few water mist and water drops, you can open the plastic film to make up some water.

6. After18 days to15 days, callus began to grow at the bottom of cuttings. At this time, it is necessary to gradually reduce the amount of watering. You can spray water into the soil with a fine-eye watering can to keep the humidity in the plastic film and the soil at 40% to 50%.

7. Usually, cuttings can take root in about 20 days. At this time, the water demand of cuttings is less than before, and the humidity in the film and soil should be kept at about 30%. Too much watering will make the soil airtight, leading to the tender roots of cuttings rotting and the seedlings dying. The roots can be watered with rooting powder, new growth factor and spring rain 1 in advance, which has fast rooting, large roots, good growth and high survival rate.

8. While the cuttings take root, new buds and leaves begin to sprout. At this time, the plastic film can be gradually opened for ventilation, and the cuttings can gradually receive light. At this time, the root system of seedlings will gradually increase, but it is still not appropriate to water too much.

Paying attention to these points in summer rose cutting can improve the survival rate and cultivate the rose varieties you want.
