Rose cuttings are taken from an adult plant in October, but they are planted in the garden only in spring. How to overwinter seedlings so that they survive frosts? An important aspect is to store them in appropriate conditions – in a cool and dark place, so that they do not start sprouting.
How to overwinter rose seedlings? It’s very simple
Wintering seedlings in the refrigerator is quite a popular method. All you need to do is wrap the root system in a damp paper towel, put the seedling itself in a bag, and then place it in the vegetable drawer. A seedling protected in this way should successfully survive until spring, but remember to check it from time to time to make sure it has not sprouted any shoots. What to do if this happened? In this case, we must move the plant to a pot and leave it in a dark and cool place until spring.

Wintering rose seedlings. Where and how to do it?
Another way to overwinter rose seedlings is to place them in the basement (in an unheated room). We can put them in a vertical position in a bucket and then sprinkle the bottom with sawdust or sand.. We can also keep seedlings on the balcony, but we must pay attention to the temperature, which should not be higher than 5 degrees Celsius. However, if you want to leave the seedlings in winter, put them in a box, bury them in the ground, and then cover them with agrotextile or sawdust to maintain a higher temperature. In this way, the seedlings will survive even frosts of several degrees.
