How to propagate a rose? There are several ways
Roses can be propagated in several ways, including: from seeds, layering, or by division (obtaining green, semi-lignified or lignified shoots). Importantly, not every method is suitable for all varieties of the plant. For example propagation from seeds will work well in the case of wild or thorny roses. All you have to do is pick its fruits, remove the seeds from them, dry them and clean them. The next step is usually to keep them in the fridge, but you can skip it if sowing takes place in a well-protected place or in containers. Make sure that they germinate in constant humidity and temperature not higher than 20 degrees, and after a month you will see the effects.
How to propagate a rose from shoots? It all depends on the deadline
A popular method of rose propagation is division, i.e. duplication from shoots, e.g. green and flexible. They should be collected in spring or summer, cutting at an angle about 1 cm above the highest leaf and 2 cm below the lowest one. In the next step, remove all leaves except the top two. Such a shoot should be between 10 and 15 cm long. Place its tip in the rooter and plant it in the pot close to its walls. Keep under foil, in a bright and warm place, as they are sensitive to frost. When the buds start to develop, it means they have taken root and you can repot them into a larger pot. Semi-hardwood shoots, i.e. already relatively stiff, but still green, propagate in an almost identical way. This is best done in late summer or fall. Choose a straight and healthy shoot and cut it to a length of approx. 20 cm. Completely lignified cuttings, approx. 25 cm long, should be taken in autumn or winter. Make it from annual shoots.
Rose propagation in summer. A simple trick for climbing varieties
In summer, the rose is best propagated by the so-called. layering. This is especially true of climbing varieties. Instead of cutting healthy and straight shoots, bend them towards the soil and cover them with soil so that only the top sticks out. Be very careful otherwise you may break the bush. After a year, the shoot should take root, so the next one, gently dig it up and cut it off.
