Cuttings of roses at home (best methods)

The rose is an exceptional flower that leaves few people indifferent. It is magnificent both in a bouquet and in the garden on bushes. But what can I say, for breeding in own garden The rose is whimsical, requires a lot of attention and care, and it is not always possible to propagate it. However, roses are rooted, and quite successfully, using different methods and tricks. But the picturesque view of the blossoming rose bush in the garden it is worth trying to propagate roses from cuttings at home.

The best ways to root rose cuttings: detailed instructions on propagating roses from cuttings

One of the methods of growing roses is cuttings, and it is perhaps one of the most effective. Here, the first thing to do is to find, so to speak, a donor for the future flower. You can take cuttings from a bush already growing in the soil (a bush you like growing on personal plot relatives or friends), or you can try and grow a rose from a magnificent bouquet given for your birthday.

Certainly, last option unlikely, but it does happen. The choice of rose variety is of great importance for its rooting and survival rate. After all, the characteristics of varieties that are resistant or unstable to certain conditions are very different. Therefore, we advise you to turn to local varieties of roses, that is, varieties that have already proven themselves well in a given climate and weather conditions.

Once you have decided on the variety and bush, you should pay attention to the stems themselves. They should be semi-lignified, not soft, but not oaky either. It is these stems that will give the highest survival rate. And this main reason, when it is not possible to grow a rose from a bouquet, because there are already mature specimens of the flower, which means that their stem has already become completely lignified and has become insensitive.

As for foreign roses, they are 99% unsuitable for propagation, since they are treated with preservatives. But there are also specimens of bouquet roses from which it is possible to grow a full-fledged flower, although it is best to cut cuttings from the bush of an existing, actively growing rose.

Best period- this is the end of June - the beginning of July, when the rose has just faded and its petals and leaves have already begun to fall - such material has the greatest chance of producing magnificent specimens. But cuttings are also often carried out late in the fall, during the period when the bush begins to prepare for winter.

In any case, the thickness of the stem for the cutting should not exceed 5 mm (you can use the thickness of an ordinary pencil as a guide), and the optimal length is 15 cm. Cutting is done using pruning shears at an acute angle. The main requirement for a cutting is the presence of three buds, and the distance from the last buds to the end of the cutting should be about 5 mm, on one side and on the other. By the way, you should be demanding about the health of the cutting - the slightest spots, rotting, etc. unacceptable, such stems are immediately discarded.

Once the cuttings are received, there are several options for the development of events. But in any case, rose cuttings are planted in prepared soil, this happens either immediately after cuttings, with mandatory aging in solutions with growth stimulants, or after the cuttings have formed callus (growth) and roots. There are quite a lot of methods for stimulating the formation of a root system in rose cuttings; some of them will be discussed below. In general, it takes about a month for roots to form.

You can plant roses in the ground both in autumn and spring. The cutting (with or without grown roots) is placed in prepared soil, always at an angle of 45 degrees. The planting depth is about 3 cm, it is important that the soil covers one bud of the cutting, and the remaining 1-2 buds are above the ground. The cutting is carefully dug in so that there is no formation of air voids between it and the soil.

Then the mandatory watering of the plantings is carried out, and their shelter is the construction of mini-greenhouses. For shelter, polyethylene bottles are suitable, the lids of which are either opened or holes are made for the circulation of air masses. If rooting occurs in the fall, then the whole thing must be insulated on top - covered non-woven material and leave it for the whole winter. And only next autumn they plant permanent place.

When cutting roses at home Special attention given to the soil where the cutting is planted, or to the substrate. The substrate is specially prepared and consists of peat, coarse river sand, fertile land. The soil must be loose and disinfected - using a solution of EM preparations, or with the addition of ash. You can also use store-bought mixtures that are prepared specifically for rooting roses, taking into account its needs.

Maintaining stable humidity and temperature stability are the main requirements for caring for cuttings. And it’s also important to avoid the sun. Therefore, it is very convenient to root in tree trunk circles– we have been successfully rooting roses there for many years. After a month, the cuttings begin to harden by opening the bottles, then they are removed completely. If they were rooted late in the fall, then the bottles are left for the winter, and they are removed only in the spring, when it becomes noticeable that the bud has begun to grow.

The use of growth stimulants for more successful rooting of roses in the ground

Growth stimulants are special drugs, which increase the survival rate of the cuttings and contribute to faster formation of the root system. The use of stimulants in certain quantities is useful for cuttings to survive, but if there is an excess of these substances, their effect on the flower will be exactly the opposite. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions.

The cuttings are kept in growth stimulants before being directly planted in the ground. For this purpose, Heteroauxin, Kornerost Kornevin, diluted in certain proportions, succinic acid, are poured into a container where the cuttings are placed. Place them standing so that the solution covers one bud, but does not affect the foliage.

The time of keeping cuttings in solutions of growth stimulants varies depending on the degree of lignification of the stem. If it is softer, then 6-12 hours will be enough, but if the stem is completely lignified, then the time can reach up to a day.

Another root growth stimulator is Radifarm. In addition to the fact that it contains useful microelements, most of all it helps root the cutting in a new place and reduces the level of stress from replanting. The cuttings are kept in its solution (1-2 drops per liter) for only half an hour.

Also, the preparations Zircon and Epin-extra have improved qualities of root formation, protection from diseases, and protection from decay. As for Zircon, the lower ends of the cuttings are kept in its solution (about 15 drops per 1 liter of water) for 18 hours, after which they are planted in the ground.

If the varieties of roses that are most difficult to root are bred, then the concentration of the solution is increased (up to 40 drops per 1 liter). Treatment of rose cuttings with Epin-extra increases the rate of root formation by almost 2 times. In the prepared solution, where 5 drops of the product are taken per half liter of water, the cuttings are soaked for 20 hours.

Available products can also be used as a growth stimulant. folk remedies, such as:

1. Fresh yeast (not dry!). They are not only growth activators, but also contain nutritional elements - B vitamins. To prepare the solution, take 250 grams of yeast per 2 liters of water, dilute well. The cuttings are placed in it for a day.
2. Honey. It has a complex of minerals that increase the resistance of rose cuttings to diseases. In addition, it also has antiseptic properties. To prepare the solution, dilute 2 tsp of honey in water standing at room temperature (3 l). Place the cuttings into this solution at one end so that the solution covers ⅓ of the entire length. The cuttings are left in this position overnight.
3. Willow water. This growth stimulant can be prepared different ways. The first way is to put it in water willow twigs and wait for roots to appear on these twigs. The water in which willow roots have formed will be an excellent growth stimulator for rose cuttings. The second method is to finely chop green and yellow, but always annual, willow shoots and pour boiled water over them and leave for several hours. The solution obtained by both the first and second methods is used to treat the cuttings before planting them in the ground.

Now let's look at methods for growing the root system of rose cuttings before planting in open ground.

Germinating rose cuttings in water

When growing the roots of a rose cutting in water, you should know that in this case the roots turn out to be quite weak, and for subsequent rooting in the ground they will need additional care. But still, such a method has a place.

In this case, the prepared cuttings are placed in a container with water, and it is necessary to ensure that the water covers approximately half of the cuttings. The water must be pre-boiled and cooled. It can also be infused for a week on silver or zeolite by dropping a silver spoon or natural silicon into the decanter.

It is also important that you cannot change such water throughout the entire process - you can only add the amount that has evaporated. Before placing the cuttings in water to form roots, be sure to treat them with any growth stimulants as described above.

For faster root formation on the cuttings, you can add aloe juice to the water. It stimulates cell division, increasing the speed of this process. And this is exactly what is required for the formation of roots. On enough large capacity water with cuttings you only need a couple of drops of fresh aloe juice.

It is advisable to use a container made of dark glass; as practice shows, root formation in this case occurs more intensively. By the way, you will have to wait about 2 months for the roots to appear; setting up a greenhouse will help speed up this process - put a bag on the container in which the cuttings are located and tie it tightly. True, for air circulation you should definitely make a couple of holes in it.

Rooting rose cuttings in potatoes

This method of growing callus and roots from rose cuttings is used in the spring. The potato tuber was not chosen for this by chance - it is the one that creates the optimal and constant moisture regime for the cutting so that it produces good roots. In addition, while the cutting is in the potato, it receives the necessary starch and carbohydrates from it, which is its additional nutrition.

In order to grow a rose from a cutting using potatoes, you need to have on hand previously prepared cuttings (necessarily without leaves and thorns) and potato tubers with cut out eyes. The tubers should be of medium size. Then you should cut a hole and insert the cutting into the tuber so that it does not fall out. After this, we place the simple structure in a pre-prepared trench. The trench should be located in a windless and shaded area of ​​the site, its depth is about 15 centimeters.

Next, ⅓ sand is poured into the trench, and potatoes with cuttings stuck into it are already placed in the sand. The tubers are buried ⅔ into the sand, the distance between them is at least 15 cm. But it is worth noting that in the case of such cultivation, the rose will also need additional protection– it should be covered with glass jars, which are not recommended to be removed at all during the month. Then the cuttings can be accustomed to the open air, periodically ventilating and opening the jars, and after a few days - a week the protection can be completely removed.

As for watering, despite the moisture created by the potato tuber, it must be done regularly. And once a week, it is advisable to do this with sweetened water - dilute 2 teaspoons of regular sugar in a glass.

You can also leave the cuttings in the potatoes right on the windowsill for a while. Provided that it is not exposed to direct sunlight. In this case, the eyes are not damaged, but simply placed in a glass or on the neck of a jar. And when the growth buds wake up, the awakened cuttings are planted in the ground directly with the potatoes.

How to root a rose using a bag and aloe juice

This method of growing roots from a rose cutting is quite popular. When the cuttings are placed in a bag, a special, humid atmosphere is created there, with an effect such as fog. This atmosphere is good for callus formation.

First you need to prepare the filling for the plastic bag. This filling should be sphagnum moss, which is first well shed with a solution of aloe juice. To prepare the solution, take 9 parts of water ( room temperature) and dissolve 1 part of fresh aloe flower juice in it. Sphagnum moss moistened with this solution is placed in a bag, then the cuttings are placed there too - with one end, as if sticking them into the soil. Then the bag is tied tightly, leaving the other ends of the cutting out. After this, the package is hung on the window, subsequently the necessary atmosphere will be created there. As a rule, after a month the rose cuttings begin to develop roots. After which they can be planted in the ground.

Rooting roses in newspaper

Another method to propagate roses by cuttings is to use newspaper, a bag and water. To do this, take an ordinary wet newspaper, in which the rose cuttings, collected in a kind of bundle, are carefully wrapped, like in a bag.

The cuttings should be well covered with newspaper on all sides. Therefore, do not spare newspapers, just wrap the cuttings in layers on all sides.

When the package is ready, it must be checked for moisture. You need to make sure that water does not flow from the newspaper, but that it is all saturated with moisture. You can also use a clean rag, moistened with water and slightly wrung out, in which to wrap a newspaper bag.

Then this bundle is placed in a plastic bag and stored in a dark and cool place, where the temperature should vary around 16-18 degrees. If it drops lower, all processes in the cuttings will freeze, but if higher, they will dry out, and additional wetting will not help, they will only develop the process of rotting.

Over the course of one and a half months, you should check the bundle 2-3 times for the appearance of roots, as well as for the possibility of rotting - when growing roots in newspaper, this can happen quite often. Spoiled cuttings should be thrown away immediately. If all conditions are met, roots should form after 1.5 months.

As you can see, propagating roses by cuttings is a very exciting activity, and you can easily select suitable way rose cuttings But compared to tomatoes, which produce roots from their shoots within a week, you will have to be a little patient - they do not take root so quickly.

How to grow a rose from a cutting from a bouquet? Probably every woman asked this question. And it’s not difficult, you just need to show diligence, and a rose grown from a cutting at home will preserve the memory of beautiful bouquet, reminding you of happy moments.

Can all roses be grown?

Not every variety of flowers can be germinated in this way. How to properly cut roses?

Many people waste time and energy trying to propagate Dutch roses from cuttings at home. All flowers brought from abroad cannot be propagated in this way. Before getting into flower shops, roses undergo long haul. In order to endure such transportation and not lose their beauty and freshness, roses are treated with various chemical reagents. This is how flower growers achieve durability of buds over a long period of time and when transported over any distance. As a result of such manipulations, roses lose their ability to reproduce.

The thing is that a foreign rose is not a living flower even at the time of purchase. We can say that she was turned into a mummy, preserved. While remaining beautiful for a long time, the Dutch rose is not capable of propagation by cuttings; growing it in this way will not bring the desired result.

How to prepare planting material?

In order to grow flowers from cuttings, several factors must be taken into account:

• a rose from a bouquet should be taken fresh, the bouquet itself should not be withered, otherwise the result will be far from the desired;
• when choosing stems for cuttings, you need to choose ones that are not too thin, but not too thick;
• cut the stems correctly.

The last tip relates to choosing the part of the stem that will be used for germination. The top of the stem is too weak and Bottom part, the one that is in the water has already lost its freshness. When cutting roses, it is necessary to take the middle of the stem, its central part, which is more suitable for the growing procedure. Also, don't forget about the kidneys. The area of ​​the stem selected for cuttings should have 3-4 live buds.

The first stage of working on growing roses from cuttings is cutting planting material from stems. The length should be approximately 20 cm. Only the stems themselves are needed, the buds and thorns are removed, just like lower leaves. The top leaves are cut off by 2/3.

The prepared stems are placed in distilled water until roots emerge. When they appear, the cuttings can be removed from the water and carefully transplanted into a special container. Best suited for this flower pot. You can also plant them in the ground under jars. Anyone who has ever bred roses in this way knows: the time of year does not affect the effectiveness of the work done. The main thing is that the apartment maintains suitable conditions and the water is always fresh.

Growing cuttings

Despite the fact that any time of year is suitable for propagating roses, it is still worth saving flowers from bouquets given in late autumn or winter for spring. Such cuttings should not sprout roots, but at the same time remain safe and sound. To preserve them and not dry them out, the finished cuttings are buried in the ground, protecting them from low temperatures. In the spring you can remove them from the ground and root the rose using any in a known way.

Summer growing roses

How to propagate roses by cuttings in summer - one of frequently asked questions. Indeed, in the warm season, when there are no low temperatures at night, rose cuttings can be planted directly in the garden. How to root a rose from a cutting into garden soil, and what the soil should be like, these questions are often asked by amateur gardeners. A mixture of black soil and sand, coarse-grained, or preferably river sand perfect solution. It is necessary to dig holes in this substrate, and treat the finished cuttings with a manganese solution and sprinkle them with soil in the holes at an angle of 45° so that the bud in the lower part of the cutting is under a layer of soil.

After the operations have been completed, the cuttings are watered and covered with jars, preferably made of glass. This creates mini-greenhouses with a real greenhouse effect.

After 2 weeks, it’s time to harden the cuttings. The glass is removed, and after a few hours it returns to its place. Next time, the time that the cutting spends without a jar should be longer. By the end of the third week, the glass is completely removed.

Pink shoots after June and July plantings should grow by 40 cm. A little later, buds will begin to appear from the shoots. Now the main task of the gardener is to help the flowers strengthen their roots without losing their vitality. To do this, the very first buds are removed. For the winter, such flowers are dug up and transplanted into pots for storage in a cool place in moderate light.

Propagation of roses using potatoes

You can propagate roses from cuttings using potatoes. This is the oldest and common way breeding queen flowers. Rooting in young potatoes in spring time. The potato tuber itself is an excellent moist environment, favorable for rooting, which allows you to saturate the cutting with everything it needs useful substances.

The question of how to propagate roses from a bouquet in potatoes has long been studied. The size of the cuttings should be 20 cm or slightly less. Larger cuttings are not suitable for propagation. The potatoes themselves must be cleared of all eyes, which will only interfere with rooting.

It is necessary to prepare a trench of medium depth (15 cm) in a place where there is no wind and enough light. River sand is placed on the bottom, its layer should be 5-10 cm. Then we lay out young potatoes with cuttings that have been prepared for rooting. The distance between the potatoes should be 15 cm. Further planting resembles a ground one, in which the lower bud is buried and the cutting itself is covered with a glass jar.

Watering is a prerequisite. Ignoring it can lead to the death of the plant. Once every 5 days, the cuttings are watered with sugar water. The ratio of sugar and water is 2 tsp. with a slide for 1 glass.

After 2 weeks, the jars are removed for several hours, the time of “freedom” of the cuttings gradually increases.

Rooting roses in water

How to propagate roses from cuttings in water? In addition to the method of rooting roses in the ground and potato tubers, there is one more method. To begin with, the flower stem is cleared of leaves, buds and flowers. Then the stem is divided into 3 parts, the most suitable of which is the middle one, on which 3 buds grow, which should be colored, but have not yet begun to bloom (you need to catch this moment). Experienced way It has been proven that it is much more difficult to root plants if the cuttings were prepared during the flowering period. The likelihood that roses will take root is reduced. It is also necessary to make an incision on the cutting under the lowest bud. Its angle should be 45°.

The container in which rooting will take place and the water in it must be sterile. It won't hurt if the water is boiled. Raw water is a breeding ground for bacteria that will interfere with rooting. And in the water remaining after the rain, blue-green algae grow, capturing an ever-increasing amount of area. In order to purify the water, you need to add charcoal, known as an antiseptic. Thanks to this remedy, water blooms can be avoided.

Nutrients are a necessary fertilizer for feeding. They have a full range of vitamins and minerals, thanks to which the plant grows. To achieve the best effect, the ratio of water and fertilizer should be about 1 liter per 10 drops.

Leaves should always be above the surface of the water so that the process of rotting does not start on them. To do this, close the neck of the container with foil or film. Holes are made in the material so that the cutting itself fits, and its top is above the water.

Cuttings are afraid of straight lines sun rays. Under their influence, the plant begins to dry out.

The flower needs water, which must be constantly replaced with fresh water.

New roots are being traced. They differ from the “earth” roots in their appearance and properties. “Water” roots are weaker and thinner. They can be seen in the light, they are sensitive and more susceptible to rotting. That is why, after transplantation, roses grow new roots, since those that grew in water cannot always adapt to life in the soil.

The period for cutting roses in water is 20-30 days. Then the plants are transplanted into a mixture of soil and sand. In this case, the roots should be approximately 5 cm in length. Shorter roots may simply not adapt to new conditions.

This cutting method is not particularly common. Plants do not always take root; their roots are weak, since the oxygen contained in the water is insufficient for the roots. Over time, earthen and potato methods became more preferable and became more widespread.

The problem of how to plant a rose from a cutting is not always solved successfully. Even if the attempt fails, the flowers do not take root, wither and die, there is no need to be upset. It’s worth continuing the experiments, and everything will work out. Breeding roses is a very interesting business, and new bushes from cuttings will thank their owner for his care lush flowering.

A bouquet of roses, enchanting with its beauty, fades very quickly. However, you can do so so that the flowers please the eye for a long time. To do this, you need to root the rose from the bouquet in the soil. If you plant roses correctly, you can admire the flower you once gave as a gift for many years.

How to grow a rose from a cutting? Growing roses from cuttings involves choosing a material. To do this, the flowers are “looked after” as soon as the bouquet is purchased. Some argue that cuttings should be taken after all the petals have fallen. Others advise carrying out preparatory work as early as possible. Over time, the tips of the cut stems, if they are not kept in clean water, they will begin to rot, and harmful bacteria will penetrate inside the plant with water. As a result, it will be impossible to grow roses from a bouquet at home. If pathogenic organisms take over the flower, roots will not form on it.

Before placing roses in a vase with clean water, you need to trim the ends of the stems by 0.02 meters. At night, the roses are completely buried in a deep container; only the heads should remain above the water surface.

If you were given roses, do not put them in sewer water. At least filter the liquid first. In such conditions, you can admire the flowers for several days, and then proceed.

How to grow a beautiful rose from a cutting from a bouquet? Great importance It has correct preparation Cherenkov. Most the best option to carry out cuttings of roses - the middle of the stem, on which you need to leave a couple of buds. This part of the crop produces the best planting material. The stem must be cut into pieces of 0.15–0.3 meters. In the lower cut the stem has sharp corner. The upper cut is made at a right angle, placing it a centimeter higher from the kidney. If there are leaves, the upper ones are shortened by a third, and the lower ones are completely removed. Thorns are also subject to elimination.

To properly cut a crop, you need to use a sharp and disinfected tool. Usually a knife or pruning shears is used. Such cutting tools are less traumatic for the plant. Sometimes it is recommended to treat the upper cut with paraffin. After all the activities, the cuttings are completely ready for germination.

Methods for rooting cuttings

How to grow a rose from a bouquet at home? First of all, you need to take care of the rooting of garden preparations.

How to properly root a rose from a bouquet? There are several methods of cutting rooting. One of the simplest and most commonly used methods is to place the planting material in a moist, nutrient-rich environment. In such conditions, it is necessary to maintain a certain air temperature and wait for the cuttings to take root. A growing medium can be created by simply placing planting material in water, planting in the ground, using potatoes or bags.

The easiest way to grow a local variety of rose from a cutting is at home. The most difficult thing to propagate is the Dutch variety of flower using cuttings from a bouquet. In order to achieve the desired result, such varieties are processed chemicals, helping to slow down the wilting of flowers. These same means, unfortunately, do not allow the crop to quickly take root. However, it is possible to root such roses, it will just take more time.

A culture grown from a hybrid often loses the properties of the mother. Therefore, you should not be sad or surprised if, after a couple of years of growing a rose, you end up with a flower of a completely unexpected shape and color.

How to quickly grow a rose from a cut flower? It is best to divide the cut rose that you bought or gave it into cuttings from spring to mid-summer. In autumn and winter, the growth processes of the crop slow down. The use of growth stimulants (Kornevin and similar drugs) will help simplify and speed up germination. The rooting of a rose from a purchased bouquet will be accelerated if a third of each cutting is placed in a growth stimulator solution for at least 6 hours. Some people create their own means to accelerate germination. To do this you need aloe juice or honey and a liter of water. This gentle growth accelerator is used to treat a cutting cutting throughout the day.

How to germinate planting material prepared from a donated bouquet? There are several main ways:

• In water. To do this, the prepared branches are placed in a third of the water. Water should only be used that has been settled or purified from impurities. Perfect option– spring. The fluid must be changed every 2 days. Planting material in water is placed in a bright place, protected from the rays of the sun and drafts.

After a couple of weeks, sprouts, growths or thickenings appear on the cuts, from which roots are formed.

• In pots. Cuttings grown in this way germinate best. Therefore, this germination method is considered traditional.

Usually small pots or half-liter glasses are used. Before use, containers are disinfected with potassium permanganate and then dried. Foam or expanded clay drainage is placed at their bottom. Soil containing garden soil and compost is placed on this layer. The last layer is sand. The soil should also be well loosened. You can add peat to it. Some people advise baking the soil in the oven to destroy harmful bacteria in it.

The prepared soil is moistened, the cutting is placed in it, watered, the soil is pressed onto it and covered tightly with polyethylene to create a greenhouse effect. Many people argue about how to plant a rose from a bouquet - straight or at an angle. As practice shows, there is not much difference.

Cuttings planted in one box are separated from each other by 0.07 meters. Over the next month, you need to provide the young plants with proper care, paying special attention to hardening. You can plant a rose from a cutting in unprotected soil only after real shoots have formed.

• Using potatoes. If you are wondering “how to grow roses yourself from bouquet cuttings” and strive to breed flowers, maintain a certain ratio nutrients in the environment. If the bottom cut of the planting material is placed in a potato, you don’t have to worry about nutrition and moisture retention. It is worth choosing a healthy and powerful tuber, removing the eyes from it, washing, drying, and also making a hole in it. A cutting, previously dipped in a growth stimulator, is placed in the hole made.

Next, in the garden bed you need to make a trench about 0.15 meters deep and pour sand on its bottom. It is placed in the soil and backfilled so that the top bud remains on the surface. Upper layer The soil should be well moistened and covered with transparent material. It helps create the greenhouse effect. Next, you need to make sure that the soil does not dry out. When sprouts appear, the shelter will need to be removed for a short time and the young individuals will need to be accustomed to outdoor conditions.

• In the package. This unusual method has a second name – “burrito”. Cuttings prepared from a bouquet of roses are wrapped in wet newspaper and bent at the ends so that air does not penetrate to them. You can wrap it with newspaper in several layers. Next, the finished packages are placed in a dark opaque bag, tied tightly and stored in a cool place.

Every week, the workpieces must be turned, their condition monitored, and those that have begun to rot must be removed. It is necessary to monitor and maintain the moisture content of the newspaper.

Soil preparation

How to grow a rose from a cut flower? Before you plant rose cuttings from a bouquet yourself in the ground, protected or unprotected, you need to prepare the area. Dry humus is added to the ground, weeds are removed from it, and it is moistened abundantly, adding a layer of sand and ash on top.

In case of urgent need, you can plant a rose from a bouquet at home in a soil mixture purchased in a store. Roses should be planted so that one bud is located above the site. For each workpiece, you need to organize a small greenhouse using a plastic bottle. In order to water the “indoor” rose, you need to remove the lid and pour water into the neck of the bottle.

Growing flowers in open ground should include protection from the sun. For this purpose, a special covering fabric is used. To form a powerful root system, it will take a certain time, depending on the temperature of the earth. If you propagate a rose by planting cuttings in warm soil, developed roots will appear on them within a month. By that time, a shoot will begin to develop from the bud. However, the fact that the shoot has begun to grow is not yet a sign that root system fully formed.

There is no need to rush to remove the greenhouse shelter, because without it, the diluted plant will not receive enough moisture. If you use a greenhouse, you can reduce the evaporation of moisture. The cuttings should grow under cover and in winter time. In general, it is worth removing the greenhouse in stages.

In the first year of life, all buds must be removed from the bush. This ensures that the crop will be able to use all its strength for growth, not flowering, and after a year it will delight you with abundant color.

Planting rose cuttings from a bouquet

Which is correct? Before the germinated cuttings are planted in the soil, they must be soaked in water for a day. After this, the tip of the workpiece is dipped in dry Kornevin and placed in the ground at a right angle. At the same time, a pair of upper buds is allowed to rise above the surface. The plantings are moistened abundantly and covered with a jar.

It is worth remembering that propagation of roses in unprotected soil is carried out only after the roots on the cuttings are fully formed.

After the roots form, young shoots and leaves develop. There is no need to rush to remove the shelter; the cuttings should gradually get used to open space. But you need to spray the plants daily. When the buds appear, they will need to be removed, allowing the roots to develop.

And we take care of it, eliminating buds and lateral shoots from the crop. By the end of summer, the young plant should take root. it must be covered.

So, there is no need to buy roses to admire them. The flower will delight you with its beauty for a long time if you grow it in your own area. And don’t forget the basic rule: we successfully grow a flower only if we know how to grow a rose from a cut flower.

From this video you will learn how to grow a rose from a bouquet.

After the bouquet loses its petals, many people wonder how to grow a rose from a cutting at home. Indeed, if you have a plot of land near your house, the temptation to get a whole bush of magnificent roses is great. The beauty of this propagation method is that from this small piece of stem, if the outcome is favorable, exactly the same flower will grow as the one that recently graced the vase.

Is it possible to plant a rose from a bouquet into the ground?

Before deciding on the possibility of germinating a bush from the available material and choosing the appropriate method, you need to evaluate the cuttings.

Which stems are suitable for propagating roses?

For planting, only those stems are selected from the bouquet on which there are living leaves and buds, but there are no traces of lignification. The skin color should only be green and the shoot should not be too thin.

It only takes a few days for roses to stand in a vase with stagnant water to lose their viability. This is enough for harmful microorganisms to multiply on the cuttings. Ideal for cuttings are flowers that were given just recently: on this day or yesterday. If you cannot immediately start cuttings, then place the bouquet in cool water, after cutting off the ends of the stems at an angle of 45° by 1-1.5 cm.

Stems suitable for propagating roses

A rose grown in a local nursery is suitable for propagation. Imported samples are not adapted to the Russian climate, and use them to propagate new variety, pointless. In addition, during long transportation, the flowers are subjected to chemical treatment, which will not allow the cuttings to take root.

Note! Practice shows that among bouquets, rooting is most successful with pink and red flowers. The most difficult to breed in this way are orange and yellow varieties. In relation to whites, it is better not to waste time and effort at all.

Planting in the ground with potatoes

If you don’t have time to grow a cutting in a pot or greenhouse for a long time, then you should use this method. It is suitable for directly planting cuttings in open ground. Just choose optimal time, when the frosts are far behind and a long warm summer is ahead.

Potato tubers are carefully selected, giving preference to healthy ones without traces of disease or fungus. Each tuber is washed, all eyes are cut out sharp knife, and then disinfected in a weak solution of manganese. Potatoes dried after this can be used to germinate rose cuttings.

A deep, but not through hole is cut in the tuber, into which the cutting is inserted with the lower end. To speed up the engraftment process, the tip is first dipped into the root. Then you can plant, but first you will need to prepare a seat.

For a rose garden, an area in the sun, but protected from strong winds. A trench is dug 15 cm deep. A sand cushion 5 cm thick is poured onto the bottom. Potato tubers with cuttings are immersed in it. Next, the trench is covered with fertile soil so that the top bud is above the surface of the bed. The planting is thoroughly watered, and then each cutting is covered with a separate glass jar or transparent plastic bottle with the throat cut off to ensure greenhouse conditions. The cover is removed when the emerging sprouts are at least 2 weeks old.

How to properly root a rose from a bouquet

In general, regardless of the chosen method, the step-by-step work on rooting cuttings consists of standard steps.

Harvesting cuttings

There is no need to rush here, because the quality preparatory work The chances of success directly depend. Cuttings are prepared with a sharp knife or pruning shears. It is important not to cause unnecessary injury to the stems. It is advisable not only to sharpen the cutting tool itself, but also to disinfect it in order to prevent foreign microflora from entering the cut.

Important! Roses should be cut without flowers. This means that you need to remove both the fully blossomed heads and the remaining unopened buds. From the remaining part of the stem, a piece 15-30 cm long is left. If we're talking about about long Dutch, you can even get 2 cuttings from one rose.

The segment itself is made like this: an oblique cut is made under the lower bud, moving down 1 cm from it. Above the uppermost bud, the cut is made straight. The optimal number of buds on a cutting is 3. Anything less is undesirable, as it reduces the chances of breeding this particular flower. Large quantity will weaken the stalk. You should stop at the golden mean. If all the conditions for germinating the cuttings are ideal and the quality of the flowers is high, then you can take a chance and use cuttings with only 1 bud.

The lower leaves must be removed entirely, the upper ones are shortened with scissors, leaving half of the leaf plate with a petiole or even one third. This technique will allow the cutting to continue to breathe, but will prevent excessive evaporation of moisture. It is not recommended to remove all the leaves entirely, as this will slow down the flow of sap in the stem. The spines are removed last.

Rooting in water

This method is good because it can be used all year round. It is enough to create cuttings optimal conditions for growth, then you can wait until summer and plant the seedlings in open ground. To begin with, you will need a transparent container with water in which the stems will stand in room conditions. Use filtered water, and place tablets at the bottom of the container activated carbon specifically for disinfection. The cuttings are immersed only with the lower end, not reaching the bud.

Rooting roses in water

Every 2 days the water is changed to clean. Total term germination takes 2-3 weeks. After 20 days, whitish growths should appear on the cut, from which roots will appear. This is the optimal moment to plant the cuttings in the soil. You shouldn’t rush either; it’s better to give the cuttings time to grow roots, so it will be easier for it to take root in a new place.

Important! Main disadvantage method - lack of sufficient oxygen in the water. For this reason, the effectiveness of this method is lower than that of others.

How to root a rose from a bouquet in a pot

Germination in pots allows you to obtain strong rose seedlings that are perfectly prepared for transplanting into open ground. It is important to provide each of the cuttings with a separate pot, but you can also use plastic containers size of at least 0.5 liters. If you use a large planting box, then there should be a gap of at least 8 cm between individual plants.

Each planting container is first thoroughly disinfected, for example, washed with a manganese solution. After this, the universal soil heated in the oven is poured into it, into which a little clean sand must be mixed for better aeration, as well as any organic fertilizer: humus, compost, humate. The result should be a fertile, but loose and light soil mixture.

For drainage, small stones, brick fragments, crumbs from dried soil are placed at the bottom of the planting containers. eggshells. The stem is carefully inserted into the center of the pot. Immerse so that 1 upper bud remains on top. Over time, a green shoot with leaves will appear from it. Next, everything is watered at once and a glass cap is put on top.

For your information! Optimal mode germination 25°C during the day, and at night 18°C. Place pots on sunny place or draft is not allowed. Ideally, light shading and no drafts are suitable. Watering is needed when the soil dries well. In the morning it is useful to remove the jar and spray the cuttings warm water from a fine spray bottle.

If everything was done correctly, then after a maximum of 30 days a green leaf should sprout from the bud. This indicates that rooting was successful. One leaf is not enough for transplanting into a flowerbed. You need a strong green sprout.

How to plant a rose with cuttings from a bouquet in the ground

Early spring is the ideal time to transplant rooted cuttings into open ground. If you started growing a seedling in winter, then by this time there may already be a lot of green shoots. In this case, they are shortened, leaving only 4 buds. This will reduce the risk of the rose dying.

As soon as the cutting is planted in the flowerbed, the ground around it is thoroughly watered and then mulched with peat or sawdust. It’s good to have something nearby that creates shade during the hottest time of the day. Acclimatization usually takes 2 weeks. After the active growth of green shoots, when they reach a length of 12-15 cm, you need to carry out the first feeding. Complex ones are suitable mineral fertilizers, as well as organic.

Important! In the first year, seedlings are not allowed to bloom so that the plant directs all its efforts to building a strong root system. The buds are carefully cut off. Before the first frost, the bushes are covered. Not only film or burlap are suitable, but also cardboard boxes. They are pressed down by a load from the wind.

When and how to grow a rose from a bouquet at home

The optimal time to propagate roses is from May to September. The maximum survival rate was observed in those cuttings that were taken from the bushes in June. In July and August vitality Roses are already declining, so there is no point in cutting cuttings at the end of summer.

Autumn and winter are the worst times to obtain seedlings. Of course, if available great experience You can achieve success in this case, but more effort will be spent. After all, you will need to artificially create optimal humidity, temperature and illumination for a long time until spring.

Those wishing to try their hand at growing roses from bouquets should take note of the following recommendations from experienced gardeners:

Germinating roses from a bouquet is a very real undertaking, but it will require quite a lot of effort. Experienced flower growers They do this because they want to get a seedling of flowers of a rare shade.

Roses are one of the most popular varieties of plants that are grown both in the garden and at home. Many flower growers are engaged in their propagation, using various techniques, but not all of them know that bouquets can also be sources for obtaining planting material. The main features associated with this type of rose propagation will be discussed in detail in this article.

Features and nuances of growing cuttings from a bouquet

Before you start propagating roses like this, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic rules and features this process, all of which are discussed in more detail below:

1. If you want to root the roses that are part of the presented bouquet, you must begin this procedure without significant delay. The longer the bouquet sits idle, the less chance there is for the cuttings to take root.
2. It is necessary to first carry out an external inspection of all colors to select the most suitable and suitable planting material for germination.
3. Cuttings taken from bouquets that were presented in winter or any other cold period, take root very poorly, it is virtually impossible to predict the chances of rooting. Planting material obtained from summer bouquets has much better survival rate.
4. Considering the absence of any guarantees that the cutting will take root, it is necessary to prepare several shoots at once, which will significantly increase the chances of obtaining a rooted seedling.

What kind of rose can be taken from cuttings?

It must be borne in mind that not all flowers are suitable for cuttings; first of all, they must meet the following criteria:

1. The flower should be fresh and full of strength, without signs of wilting. Otherwise, he has virtually no chance of survival.
2. The stems of the plant should have a slightly woody structure, you can determine this by color: it should be brownish, not green.
3. The stem should have an average diameter, too thin or, conversely, thick cuttings do not root well.
4. Flowers grown in warmer climates climatic conditions , take root much worse, since they are not adapted to cold weather and other aggressive environmental influences.
5. There should be no traces on the selected plant any disease or insect activity.
6. Foliage and stems should look healthy and strong and also have no traces of yellowing.

Preparation of cuttings

Once a suitable source for obtaining planting material has been selected, you can proceed to the process of preparing cuttings.

The action algorithm is described in detail below:

1. For cuttings it is necessary to use the middle part of the stem, it is cut into segments about 12-15 cm long. Each of them must have at least 2-3 buds.
2. The cut at the bottom of the stem is made 1 cm below the location of the bud, it must be done strictly at an angle of 45°.
3. The cut in the upper part is made only at a right angle; it should be located 0.5 cm above the location of the kidney. Significant deviations in any direction are not allowed, as this will negatively affect the survival rate of the shoot.
4. Leaves located at the bottom must be completely removed, and those located in the middle and upper parts are shortened to a third of their size.
5. All thorns located on the stem, carefully trimmed with a sharp and clean tool.
6. The cut located in the upper part must be cauterized with brilliant green or treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Such a measure will speed up the wound healing process and have an antiseptic effect.
7. Harvested cuttings must be kept for 12 hours in a special root growth stimulator. If necessary, it can be replaced with fresh aloe juice.
8. After the described treatment, the lower cut can be additionally sprinkled any growth stimulant in powder form.

Methods for rooting cuttings

In pots

Placing cuttings in pots filled with a nutrient mixture is the most common rooting technique. This process is described in more detail below:

1. The selected pot is filled with nutritious soil mixture , at the bottom of which a drainage layer must be poured; expanded clay can be used for this.
2. There must be holes in the bottom surface to provide ventilation, oxygen supply and elimination of excess moisture.
3. The soil mixture is sprinkled with sand on top; the layer thickness should be no more than 3 cm. The sand must first be subjected to heat treatment by keeping it in the oven or microwave oven. It is an ideal environment for the proliferation of various microorganisms that pose a threat to most plants, but exposure to high temperatures allows them to be destroyed. Usually, after this, long-term settling of the sand is required in order to restore the natural microflora and reappearance disease bacteria, but in the case of cuttings taken from bouquets, there is no time for this process.
4. The degree of penetration of cuttings into the soil is no more than 1.5-2 cm.
5. The soil is moistened abundantly, after which the container with the cuttings is covered with a cap, which can be obtained by cutting off the top part with the neck of a regular plastic bottle.
6. A humid and warm microclimate is created inside, which will facilitate the rooting of planting material. If the soil dries out, it needs to be promptly moistened, but most often this is done naturally due to the accumulation of condensate.
7. It is necessary to monitor the condition of the cuttings and if buds appear, they must be removed immediately. If the rose begins to waste vital energy and nutrients on them, then it will not have the strength to root the shoots.

Using potatoes

Potato fruits can also be used to root rose cuttings; this process is discussed in detail below:

1. A small trench is dug on the site; its depth should be about 15 cm. Most good period It’s spring for such manipulations. You will also need to make sure that the chosen location is reliably protected from cold winds and drafts, and at the same time receives a sufficient amount of solar heat and light.
2. Clean river sand is poured into the bottom of the trench, the layer thickness should be about 5 cm.
3. Cuttings that have gone through all the necessary preliminary preparation, stuck into potatoes. For these purposes, it is necessary to select young tubers of medium size. Also, all of his eyes must be removed.
4. The potatoes are placed in a dug trench, the distance between the tubers if there are several of them, it should be at least 15 cm.
5. After placing all the tubers in the trench, they will need to be sprinkled two-thirds with garden soil.
6. Tubers with cuttings are covered with glass jars.
7. Planting material will be fueled by starch and carbohydrates contained in potatoes Moreover, fresh tubers will provide a humid microclimate, and glass jars will help preserve it.
8. After two weeks, the jars can begin to be temporarily removed, accustoming the cuttings to outdoor conditions. This should only be done if there is no risk of night frosts or persistent cold weather.
9. After four weeks, the jars can be removed already on a permanent basis.

In the package

To others alternative option is the rooting of planting material in the bag, detailed instructions is given below:

1. Cuttings are pre-prepared according to standard scheme , which was described above.
2. The bag is filled with a purchased nutritional mixture for flowering plants or garden soil that has undergone preliminary sterilization. Another substrate option is sphagnum moss, which is generously moistened with fresh aloe juice diluted with water in proportions 1:9.
3. The bag with the cuttings placed in it must be inflated with air, then tie it securely and hang it near the window opening.
4. There will be a very high level of humidity inside the bag, which will cause the characteristic fog to form. Full root shoots usually appear after a month, after which the cuttings will be ready for planting in the ground.

In water

Another method of rooting is to place the cuttings in a glass of water. This technique is very popular due to the simplicity of its technology; the sequence of actions is described in detail below:

1. Planting material is placed in a glass previously filled with clean water. It is possible to place several cuttings at once in one container, but it is necessary to ensure that they do not come into contact with each other.
2. So much water should be poured so that the shoots are completely immersed in it.
3. The glass is placed in a bright place, for example, on a windowsill on the south side, no additional covering on top is required.
4. The moisture will gradually evaporate, so it will need to be topped up periodically.
5. After about 2-4 weeks, it will be possible to observe the formation of a specific influx in the area of ​​the lower sections. Gradually, a kind of roller will form from it, the size of which will be about 2-4 mm. This will indicate that the planting material is completely ready for transplanting into the ground, and the first roots will soon begin to grow from the influx.
6. After planting the cuttings, they can be covered with the same glass on top to ensure the necessary microclimate. It is possible to completely remove the glass after a month, by which time the resulting root shoots will have become quite strong.

Planting seedlings

After rooting the planting material at home, it will be possible to transplant young rose seedlings into open ground.

A detailed description of this process is given below:

1. A place is selected on the site that will meet all the criteria to provide the conditions necessary for roses.
2. Transplantation of seedlings into open ground can be carried out after the appearance of at least 2-3 well-formed leaves.
3. Planting holes are dug in the ground, their diameter and depth depend on the size of the root system of the seedlings.
4. At the bottom of the hole it is necessary to organize a layer 2-3 cm thick, which will consist of plant humus and clean sand, both components are pre-mixed in equal proportions.
5. When planting, you must ensure that the growing point is located flush with the ground surface.
6. It is equally important to plant a seedling like this so that the second bud must be above the surface of the earth.
7. The hole with the seedling placed in it is filled with garden soil, which is then manually compacted and compacted.
8. The soil at the planting site is additionally moistened, after which the planting can be considered complete. From now on, all that remains is to provide the rose with appropriate care.

Further care of seedlings

The growth, development and abundance of rose flowering will depend on the quality of subsequent care. All the main actions that need to be performed are described in detail below:

Basic mistakes

Below we discuss the main mistakes that are made when cutting roses taken from bouquets. Familiarization with them will help minimize the likelihood of their recurrence in the future and increase the survival rate of seedlings:

1. Infliction of hard-to-heal wounds during cuttings. This usually happens when using a poorly sharpened tool or tearing off shoots with your hands. The knife must not only be sharp, but also clean so as not to introduce infection into the cut.
2. Taking cuttings from the top or bottom of the shoots. Such planting material does not take root or produces too weak plants, so the middle part of the stem is considered the most suitable for propagation.
3. Retaining thorns or too much foliage. This leads to the fact that the rose spends too many nutrients and energy conserving them, which is why it cannot take root.

To summarize, we can give following tips and recommendations for people who decide to use bouquets of roses to propagate these plants:

1. It is best to use bouquets given in the summer for such purposes, since such roses have a much better chance of taking root and surviving. The probability of successful reproduction is somewhat lower in spring and minimal in winter, but there are always chances.
2. You should not place the bouquet in a vase first; it is better to immediately proceed to preparing the planting material, then the chances of a positive outcome will be higher.
3. It is not recommended to choose roses with the thickest stems for propagation. Many people mistakenly believe that this has a positive effect on their survival, but such cuttings take root very poorly.
