The variety of modern varieties of roses is amazing, but not every one of them is able to take root in our conditions. By itself, this flower is very capricious, and then the harsh winters do not leave the slightest chance for a successful outcome. Grafting of the rose you like on a rose hip will partially help to correct the situation. Why partially? Yes, because not many people manage to correctly perform the operation, which has many characteristic nuances. Do not get upset prematurely, because thanks to our article you will be among the lucky ones.

How to properly plant a rose on a rosehip
Before proceeding to an explanation of how to plant a rose on a rosehip, let's figure out why such a stock was chosen for these purposes. The fact is that the rose is a very weak plant in terms of resistance to diseases and low temperatures... Rosehip, on the other hand, can be said to be a Spartan. Its taproot is much more powerful and able to penetrate deep enough into the soil. Wild rose rose hips are practically not affected by diseases and pests, therefore the use of young seedlings as a stock is optimal solution.
There is nothing complicated in the vaccination procedure itself. You need to have a sharp knife, pruning shears, and special tape for securing. The instrument must be sterile - this will significantly increase your chances of success. The best stock option is 2-3 year old rosehip bushes grown from seeds. If the grafting is carried out by cutting, then the thickness of the main stem, like the cutting, must be at least 1 cm.
Basic requirements for a flower for grafting
Most often, dormant buds are used for grafting, which are cut from the stems of a faded plant. Please note that the shoots must be lignified, otherwise nothing will work. If the cuttings were cut in advance, then they are stored in the refrigerator in the vegetable compartment in a bag, wrapped in wet cloth... For about a month they will be suitable for vaccination.
Detailed vaccination instructions
If done correctly, the vaccination process will not take much of your time. The main thing is that you must be confident in your actions, and then the result will definitely be positive.
So, let's look at the process point by point:
- clean the stem of the rosehip from the ground and wipe the root collar;
- make a T-shaped incision on the stem of the stock, bend the bark;
- cut the bud from the stem of the rose, grabbing a little of the stem;
- gently insert the bud behind the bark;
- press the bark and tie it with a special tape, while the bud itself should be open.
If you did everything right, the bud should germinate soon. You can learn more about grafting roses from the video from Nikolai Pomilyaiko.
How to transplant a grafted rose
It is better to transplant grafted roses to a permanent place in the fall. To do this, the bush is carefully dug in, trying to get it with a lump of earth. Your task is not to damage the roots, otherwise the rose may not take root. In a new place, you need to dig a deep planting hole, fill it abundantly with organic matter, and then place the dug out seedling.
At this stage, you have two options: leave the grafting site above ground level or deepen it. Previously, many argued that the vaccine must be above the ground, but in last years everything meets more people, which deepen it, while the rose does not turn into a rosehip. After fixing the seedling in the hole, lightly flatten the soil and water it abundantly. After that, the soil must be covered with mulching material to prevent rapid evaporation.
Care
Caring for a grafted rose consists in regular watering, dressing and treatment with protective drugs. Rose is more susceptible to attacks of fungal diseases than other flowers, so you will have to carry out at least two treatments with fungicides. As for fertilizing, starting from early spring, you can add organic matter every two weeks. Thanks to this, you can achieve vigorous growth and lush flowering.
Constantly monitor the growth of the shoots of the grafted rose. It's okay if they grow higher than the graft site, but if they go lower, then the dormant rosehip buds have woken up. Such shoots must be removed immediately so that they are not taken away nutrients by the rose. Simply making a cut above the ground is not enough. You need to scoop up the soil and cut a shoot at the base of the trunk.
Features of grafting roses from a bouquet
Most often, roses from a bouquet are germinated using cuttings, but you can try to graft a bud on a rosehip. The main condition is the freshness of such roses, so if you have them for more than 4 days, do not think about why this venture was unsuccessful.
You have already learned how to plant a rose on a rose hip, so it makes no sense to describe the sequence again. Just pick a fresh shoot, cut out the buds from the middle, and try grafting onto the rose hips. Thus, you can get any desired specimen in your garden, but keep in mind that some roses will not be able to withstand our winter without additional shelter.
Video "Summer grafting of a rose on a rosehip"
After watching the video from Roman Andreevich Usynin, you will learn how to properly plant a rose on a rosehip.
It is impossible to walk past the well-groomed rose garden without admiration. But it is quite difficult to grow a flower bed of roses - a luxurious beauty requires constant care, does not tolerate cold weather, lack of light, and abundant flowering pleases only if it grows in fertilized soil.
But still, there is no need to give up the dream, it will become a reality if the gardener learns to plant a rose on a rose hip. We will talk about the advantages and secrets of the technology below.
Basic rules for grafting roses on rose hips
What is vaccination? This is the so-called artificial splicing of 2 plantations at once, similar in growth type. Visually, it looks like this: a stalk (eye) of another is fixed to the eye (stem) of one plant.
- a young shrub at the age of 3 years old, resistant to frost and strong winds, survives grafting well;
- never use rosehip seedlings formed from cuttings;
- ideally, the thickness of the stem of the shrub is 1 cm or more, and the bark should be easily separated from the main shoot.
The essence of the vaccination is that the rosehip is used as a rootstock, where a peephole or a rose shield (scion) is implanted into the rhizome. Rosehip serves as the root system of the plant, and the scion forms the aerial part. The more tightly the queen of the garden is fixed to the rosehip, the better the bush will take root. The flower can be grafted into the stem, namely in the area close to the roots.
Summer rose grafting on a rose hip involves several types of cuts:
- T-shaped - reduces the likelihood of the appearance and development of infections, improves the flow of juice through the plant;
- under the bark;
- for the bark;
- cleavage.
When is it better to plant a rose seedling
There are several favorable periods when the rose promises to take root well on the rosehip:
- In the spring, while the buds have not yet blossomed.
- In summer - in July and August, at the time of the second wave of shoot development.
If the incision has already been made and you notice that the bark is struggling to come off, wait a little longer. In order not to injure the bush once again, it is better to vaccinate in the summer. Vaccination in summer has a number of additional benefits:
- there is already a sufficient number of cuttings for grafting;
- the root collar reaches the right size - from 6 to 9 mm;
- perfectly formed kidneys;
- the downward direction of movement of the juice along the stem allows the rose to take root faster.
Among the disadvantages of summer vaccination are:
- You can never predict exactly what nature is preparing, therefore, even at the end of summer or at the beginning of autumn, unexpected frosts sometimes hit, which means that the rose bush, most likely, will not be able to get stronger. The timely construction of a rosehip shelter will save the situation.
- In July, even in the temperate latitudes of Russia, there is a couple of weeks of anomalous, exhausting heat. Although the rose is a thermophilic plant, but scorching sun does not tolerate.
Varieties of grafting roses on rose hips
In the gardening literature, there is also another concept of vaccination - budding. It is the cultivation of bushes with an eye on the root collar of a dogrose in summer. The mandatory stages of this type of vaccination are:
- Preparing the rose hips by cutting with pruners or scissors.
- Focusing on the center of the stem, cuttings are cut out, which then get rid of the shields and eyes.
- Before starting budding, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the root collar of the plant from dirt.
- For the convenience and speed of the procedure, it is better to use a special device - a grafting secateurs.
- You should choose the stem of the rosehip, which is already a year old, the incision is made closer to the root system of the bush, on the shady side of growth.
- Armed with an budding knife, gently bend the bark slightly to the side, put the bud of the scion inside, insert a 2 cm shield from the cutting into the incision.
- Be sure to use tape or self-cut strips from the film, the size of which is 20 × 1 cm, to tie around the area of \u200b\u200bthe vaccination. Electrical tape is not suitable for processing. It is important to attach the kidney tightly, but not pinch it.
- To help the rose take root more quickly, apply garden varnish to the wounds.
Caring for a rose after grafting on a rosehip
During the week, the bush should be poured abundantly with water. Make sure that no weeds appear around, clear the area of \u200b\u200bforeign plants and loosen the soil with a garden tool.
If the vaccination is successful, young rose shoots will appear in the fall. For a comfortable wintering, a rose hip bush is spud at a height of 20-25 cm, and a shelter made of dry foliage and needles is fixed on top. You can get rid of homemade shelter in the spring.
Also in the spring, the grafted part of the planting must be cut off by one eye (approximately 0.5 cm) and do not forget to cover garden pitch... After 3 weeks, the eyes will hatch. After the appearance of 3 rose leaves, pinch the crown of the shoot. Absolutely all young stems are subject to pinching, it is better to get rid of the buds.
The gardener's task at this stage is to form a sprawling and lush shrub. Already in the fall, the one-year-old beauty of the garden can be planted in a permanent place.
Features of grafting a rose in a T-shaped incision
The peephole is cut with or without wood using a special eyepiece knife. 7-8 mm recede from the kidney, the slot goes down so that 10-12 mm remains under the kidney. This can be done as follows:
- Under the kidney, form a slice going across. The deepening should be smooth, not sharp, you only need to grab the bark and a little bit of wood.
- Cutting off a thick layer of wood is bad. In order not to seize too much, experience and skill are required, so it is worth filling your hand on the stems of the rose hips.
- The wood is easy to cut from a mature cutting, but careless movements of the summer resident are fraught with damage to the bud of the rose. Ideally, the cut should be flat, 3-4 cm long, without visible damage to the bark of the bush.
Particular attention should be paid to the selection of plantations on which the stems of this year have blossomed or, conversely, have faded. It is from them that the cuttings are formed, only the middle part is taken, and this is because the eyes are growth-sized from below, and from above - flower ones.
Whether the kidneys are ready for vaccination or not is easy to tell by the thorns. Break them, if they detach easily without a web of bark, it can be argued that they are ripe for grafting. If you have already started the process, keep the cuttings moist, do not let them dry out. Convenient to place planting material on a tray covered with a damp cloth or towel.
The recent heavy rainfall in the summer forces the gardener to postpone the event - the earth should dry out properly.

How to plant roses from a bouquet
You can plant roses from a bouquet, the process is as follows:
- Set the bouquet for 4 days.
- Cut the cuttings with 2 buds, remove the thorns.
- Peel the stem at the bottom 1.5 cm and place in the rooting solution.
- Then plant in humus-rich soil.
Roses are considered the most beautiful flowers most gardeners. It is very difficult to grow them simply from cuttings. To obtain lush healthy roses on the site, they are usually grafted onto a rosehip. In this case, both the scion and the rootstock should be chosen correctly.
When to plant roses
In summer, roses are grafted onto rose hips in late July or early August. At this time, active sap flow occurs near the stock. Therefore, the bark is easier to separate from the wood and the chances of a successful plant are increased. You can also plant roses in the spring, before budding. This period falls around the end of April and the beginning of May. Sometimes this procedure is performed in winter. To do this, in the fall, young rosehip seedlings are planted in pots and placed in the basement. When pruning roses for the winter, leave the stalks and also store them in a cool place.
Choosing a rosehip variety
Before starting to figure out how to plant a rose on a rose hip, let's see which variety is most suitable for this purpose. The most frost-resistant should be chosen. As a rootstock, varieties such as prickly rose and wrinkled rose are quite suitable. However, there are a lot of thorns on their branches. Therefore, it is rather difficult to vaccinate them on them. Better to choose a dog rose or a May (cinnamon) rose. They have much fewer thorns, and these varieties are not bad in winter hardiness.
What should be the scion
For the scion, well-ripened shoots are cut from the mother bush and their middle part is separated. The bark of the scion should be shiny and smooth, and the buds well developed. Such cuttings take root very well. but experienced gardeners the method of budding is often used. How to plant a rose on a rose hip in this way, we will consider below. The fact is that this method allows you to get almost one hundred percent result (90%). In this case, not a stalk, but one bud is taken as a stock.
Stock preparation
A week before vaccination, the selected rosehip bush must be watered intensively. The soil underneath should be especially thoroughly moistened on the day before the operation. In this case, it will be easier to plant a rose on a rose hip thanks to the same process of intensive sap flow.
Budding technology
It is best to plant a rose in the root collar. This will greatly increase the chances of success. First of all, they rake the earth from it and thoroughly clean the bark of dirt. Then they take the scion petiole and cut the most developed bud together with the wood with an budding knife. The cut is made by three centimeters. Next, turn the scion over with the wood to itself and carefully remove the latter, leaving the bud only on the bark. A T-shaped incision is made on the root collar in the bark. At the same time, they try not to damage the wood. The edges of the incision are carefully folded back. The graft is shortened a little so that it fits under the bark. Insert it into the incision so that the kidney is outside, and the bark is under the bark of the root collar. Next, you need to fix the bark above the kidney and under it with ribbons cut from plastic film... The root collar of the dog rose is buried with earth.
What's next?
So, we figured out how to plant a rose on a rose hip. What to do next? After about two weeks, the root collar of the rose hips should be dug up and see if the bud has begun. If the vaccine is successful, it will be green. If not, brown. In the second case, you can try to repeat the procedure. In this case, budding is carried out slightly below the previous vaccination site. It is better not to cut the ribbons until spring.
Caring for a grafted rosehip in the fall
For the winter, a rosehip with a grafted rose is cut off. All the shoots above the grafted bud should be cut off by about an inch and a half. Next, the plant is poked up and covered with foliage. You can cut it higher. In this case, the bush is also covered with something to protect it from frost. You can make a wire frame, cover it with polyethylene, put it on a bush and fill it with sawdust or dry foliage. It is advisable that the covered bush in winter be completely covered with snow.
How to plant roses in other ways
Grafting a rose on a rosehip is most often, as already mentioned, performed by budding. However, you can try splicing and conventional technology... That is, choose the most developed rootstock shoot, make a T-shaped incision in its bark, insert a cultivated rose petiole prepared in advance and fix it with a tape. The method of docking along the cut of the petiole and rootstock shoot (copulation) is also practiced. In this case, the sections should be oblique. The shoot and the stalk are tightly pressed against each other and tied with electrical tape, starting from the bottom.
Sometimes a rose is also grafted onto a rosehip stem. In this case, the most developed shoot is chosen, and all other branches are cut off. A rose is grafted onto it at a height of about a meter. Its shoots will form a flowering crown. The result is a very beautiful plant.
Features of winter grafting of roses
How to plant a rose on a rose hip in winter? In this case, the vaccination is performed in January or February. Young rosehip plants should be planted in large enough pots to be filled with turf soil. Only plants with an even root collar at least a centimeter thick are suitable as a stock.
A month before the vaccination, the pots are transferred to a warm room. This is necessary so that the plant begins active sap flow, and the bark is easily separated from the root collar. It is best to graft cuttings using the "bark" method or by copulation.
After grafting, the pots should be laid on their side. Plants are sprayed daily (6-8 times) for the next twenty days. After each such procedure, the rosehip along with the pot is covered with sheets of paper in order to retain moisture. Not allowed indoors sharp changes temperatures. Both day and night, the air in the room should warm up to about 20 degrees.
After twenty days, the scion usually grows to the stock and gives rise to a shoot. In the event that the shoot thickens at the junction, the tape is removed and replaced with a new one so that nothing will cut into the bark.
As you can see, grafting a rose on a rosehip is not a particularly difficult procedure. With a certain amount of dexterity and accuracy, the chances of success for this venture are quite high. If you already have experience in grafting fruit trees, get beautiful roses on rose hips it will not be difficult for you.
The rose is considered the queen of flowers. Growing them is not difficult enough. To receive on their land plots healthy lush rose bushes, they are often grafted onto rose hips. We will tell you how to plant a rose on a rosehip in our article.
When to plant roses
Talking about the timing of vaccinations, then best time for grafting, it's spring. The first leaves and young shoots appear on the rose hip bush. We must not miss the deadline, otherwise the young stems will start growing. Rosehip bushes should not be disturbed during kidney dormancy.
But it is possible to plant roses in the summer. At this time, the active movement of the juice begins in the stems, which favorably affects the rapid engraftment of rose cuttings. Young shoots, when they have faded, can be used as a scion. Work starts in July or August.
You can plant these flowers even in winter time - in February. This method is more time consuming because of this it is not so popular. Cuttings take root much worse during this period.
Rosehip for grafting roses
How the rootstock is used root growth rose hips, from the age of three years. A rose hip bush is selected with a well-developed root collar, the thickness of which is about 10 millimeters. The top layer (bark) should be mature and peel off well from the wood. Dig the rose hips carefully, removing the soil from the roots. Next, putting the rosehip, prepare the rose for inoculation.
How to properly plant a rose on a rosehip
- Prepare grafts (grafting cuttings). We cut off annual faded shoots of varietal plants about 1 centimeter wide. They should have 3 developed kidneys. Next, remove all thorns and foliage, leaving only the stalks. Then we put the cuttings in a damp cloth and store in this form until the very moment of inoculation. It is advisable to take fresh cuttings of roses, but if necessary, they can be cut in advance (no more than a month before the vaccination) and stored in a damp cloth at a temperature of 2-4 ° C (for example, the storage space is a refrigerator).
- Prepare the stock as described above.
- Next, we take a previously prepared stalk and from its middle part with a sharp budding knife and cut off the kidney together with the shield so that its length is about 3 cm. Then we clean the shield from the upper layer of the bark.
- At the place where root system goes into the trunk, from the side where the sun's rays do not fall, sharp knife make a T-shaped incision and, slowly bending the bark, insert a shield with an eye below its horizontal line. Consider: the scion and stock must be tightly connected. To do this, the cut on the root collar of the bush must be equal to the size of the shield.
- Carefully wrap the site of inoculation with polyethylene film so that the kidney remains open. And then cover the root collar of the rose hip bush with wet soil so that the grafting is not visible.
Why roses are reborn into rose hips
It usually turns out that the rose bushes suddenly begins to transform into a rose hip. The main thing is to see in time and do everything to prevent the modification of the rose. When a rose is in bloom, it cannot be confused with a rosehip.
The main reason for the rebirth of a rose into a rosehip is non-observance of the rules for growing roses. An important point! The difference from plants grown on rootstocks, self-rooted roses never mutates. Therefore, it is necessary with care and responsibility to treat the first slightest signs of running wild, eliminate mistakes made in time and properly care for the flower.
Caring for a grafted rose
If everything went right, then by the fall your queen will form her young shoots on a rose hip. And next spring the rose bush is already fully formed.
The main things to remember after vaccination are:
- Maintain regular soil moisture. Watering will have a beneficial effect on the health of the bush, thereby nourishing it.
- Break through the weeds around the bush regularly, as weeding can disrupt the grafting and the rose will not take root.
- The soil must be loose so that oxygen is well supplied.
When proper care, in the fall, the rose on the rose hips will sprout. You don't have to do anything with them, all that remains is to cover the bush, protecting it from frost until spring.
In the spring, when a stable heat comes, you need to dig out the neck of the bush and free the bud from the film. The bush is cut off, and the formation of the future rose bush begins. In the same year, in the fall, you can transplant the rose to its permanent place. As you can see, the process is not very difficult and difficult, and the bush of the new beauty will delight you for more than one year. How to keep cut roses longer watch
It is worth saying that the rose needs a warm climate and painstaking care. And grafting a rose on a rosehip bush is the best option for successful cultivation roses in their area. The most the right time for grafting roses - the end of winter or the end of summer.
Rules for grafting roses on rose hips
- For grafting, it is better to use a shrub about three years old, which is resistant to adverse weather. The rootstock cuttings should be approximately 1 cm thick without damage or signs of disease. The wood on the cuttings should already be formed;
- We make an incision on the neck of the rosehip, after cleaning and wiping the incision site. Preferably from the sunny side;
- The bark must be folded back and the bud of the scion, about 2 cm long, which was prepared earlier, should be inserted. It is recommended to tie it tight enough, but not to overdo it so as not to pinch;
- Cover the neck of the rose hip with moistened soil, while the grafting should be closed.
How to care for a rose that has been grafted onto a rosehip
- You need to water it periodically so that the kidney does not dry out.
- Already grafted roses for wintering need to be covered with a layer of earth or fallen leaves. And it is advisable to cut off the top in early spring;
- It is better to use domestic varieties for grafting, since some foreign ones are very difficult and problematic to graft;
- Weeds that appear should be immediately removed and periodically loosened the soil;
- The next spring, the stock must be cut off, slightly above the grafted peephole and treated with garden pitch;
- If it turns out to be arid in the summer, the soil around the trunk must be watered abundantly and make sure that it does not dry out; Otherwise, the scion will not grow together with the rosehip;
- Several inoculations are best done in opposite places along the trunk. If used different varieties, then their strength of growth should be the same;
- To prevent the rose from freezing in winter, the bush must be spud to a height of 25 cm;
- If young shoots are not stable, you need to create the necessary support in height and tie up.
The eyes begin to sprout after a couple of weeks. A branched bush is formed by pinching young shoots and removing buds. Annual roses can be planted in a permanent place in the fall.
