Reproduction of roses by a green handle and summerherbaceous cuttings - two completely different ways. Let's try to understand what are the differences between them, and also list the advantages of each. Growing roses from cuttings at home is available even to a beginner floriculturist. Do not be shy and, armed with everything you need, start multiplying your favorite flowers.
Two ways - comparison
Beginners can be advised to trybreed polyanthus roses, sort of "floribunda" and clingy. And also some tea-hybrids. All these varieties do not need rooting and budding. So, the problem (the reproduction of roses by a green handle) is simplified. Why is the second method more common? A grassy summer stalk is an escape that begins to move from a grassy state to a lignified state. And the softer the stem, the easier it will take root in a new place. Cutting time of the cuttings directly depends on the variety (the stages of shoot formation in different varieties of roses pass differently) and those climatic conditions in which the plant is located. In some cases, it is possible to root flowers from a given bouquet. The more tender the wood at the escape - the more likely the reproduction of roses is by a green handle.
The first way
Summer herbaceous cuttings should be prepared inbeginning of July. Then the bushes obtained from them will have better time to prepare for the winter and will more successfully bear the cold. Choose the right shoot for the cuttings at the moment when the bud is formed and begins to color. The percentage of rooting will decrease if you take a stem with a faded or just bloomed rose. Cut the middle part of the shoot - you need five to eight centimeters with a couple of healthy kidneys. Cut the ends of the leaves with a pruner - this will reduce the evaporation of moisture from the cuttings. The upper cut is made straight, and the bottom one is skewed. They need to be done with the sharpest knife, after having treated the blade with an antiseptic. Immediately put the stalk in water with heteroauxin - the use of this drug will increase the likelihood of root formation. Change the water every two days, and in two or three weeks at the end of the shoot will appear the germ of the root. You can immediately plant a rose in the ground, and you can wait for the appearance of real roots. Moving the seedling to the soil, cover with a jar or a film, continue daily spraying with stop water.
Reproduction of roses by green cuttings
The material will need to be cut in autumn.Reproduction of roses by a green handle allows doing this until the first frost. Escape should have from five to eight eyes and be no more than five millimeters thick. It must be cut from the middle part of the stem. The cut at the lower end should be done under the kidney. Cuttings cut into the ground - by spring they will take root. How to prepare the soil? It is better to form special beds - one for each cut. The soil, even friable and nutritious, needs to be fertilized with a mixture of turf, peat, sand and humus. Good will also wood ash. On top of the hole should be sprinkled with river coarse-grained sand. Before the onset of cold weather, the cutting should be covered with polyethylene or a special mat from the reeds. As the roots grow, the film is raised. When frosts come, it must be lowered again, and covered with reed mat.
