The desire of flower growers to get new varieties of roses on their own, or quickly propagate decorative varieties, quite understandable. The easiest way to propagate rose bushes is cuttings. But novice flower growers and experienced craftsmen when breeding roses by cuttings, they always ask a far from idle question: “How to do it right?”
What varieties of roses can be cut?
All varieties of ground cover and miniature roses, polyanthus and climbing roses with small flowers are ideal for cuttings. The survival rate of cuttings of floribunda roses is approximately 50% of the total number of planted plants.
It is difficult to cut large-flowered varieties of climbing roses, park and hybrid tea varieties. When cuttings of these plants can fail, the yield of accustomed cuttings is extremely small.
Tip: Large-flowered decorative varieties of roses with yellow flowers. Such cuttings take root poorly, and those that have taken root develop a weak root system. In this case, it is better to use the reproduction of the variety by grafting.
Cutting rose bushes in summer: methods and benefits
During summer cuttings, green cuttings are used, which appear in abundance on mother rose bushes, so choosing the right ones is not difficult.
Rose cuttings planted for rooting in the warm season have time to take root, get stronger before the fall and do not cause any special difficulties for the grower during wintering.
There are several ways of summer cuttings of rose bushes. Usually it is carried out 2 times during the spring-summer period:
- April-May (in the greenhouse);
- June-July (in open ground).
Planting cuttings of roses in the open field
The best results are obtained by summer cuttings of roses in protected ground. In the condition of a greenhouse, it is easier to monitor the rooting of cuttings, their condition, the need for watering, the development of diseases, and so on.
It is allowed to plant cuttings directly in open ground. It is first necessary to prepare a suitable soil mixture for rooting the cuttings, which fill the allotted beds.
Suitable composition nutrient soil should include:
- Leaf land.
- Large river sand(can be used mixed with 50:50 peat).
- Sod land.
- Vermiculite or perlite.
The mixture is made in a ratio of 2:1:2:0.5.
Advice. It is useful to cover the surface of the prepared soil with a layer of coarse sand about 3 cm high, this will prevent possible water stagnation during excessive watering and improve drainage.
The finished soil substrate must be shed with a pink solution of potassium permanganate; when rooting cuttings, rooting stimulants can be used: "Kornevin", "Epin", "heteroauxin".
Requirements for cuttings
Cuttings for rooting are selected from healthy mother plants, they are cut 10-15 cm long. At the same time, an oblique cut is made directly below the bud at the bottom, and at a distance of 0.5 mm above the bud at the top. The lower leaves on the cuttings are removed completely, the upper ones are shortened by half.
Important! Cuttings that are cut from fattening green shoots are not suitable for rooting.
In the prepared soil, the cuttings are planted obliquely, at an angle of 45 degrees, while not buried in the soil by more than 10 cm.
The cuttings are covered with a film to maintain humidity. Care for planted pink cuttings consists in timely watering and airing plantings, maintaining high humidity, periodic inspections for pests and possible diseases.
Young rose bushes will winter in the beds, so you should provide a reliable shelter from frost. Roses can be planted in a permanent place next spring.
Rose bushes from a bouquet - it's possible!
Bouquets of roses received in the summer as a gift can serve as material for the propagation of the variety, while it should be noted that the most successful results are obtained by rooting local, adapted roses.
Bouquet roses are kept in a vase until the petals fall completely, changing the water daily and cutting the tips of the stems.
Advice! The stems of roses suitable for cuttings must have healthy, intact buds and a thickness of 0.5 mm or more.
Cuttings with one or two buds are cut from the middle part of the shoots. It is allowed to plant cuttings with one kidney, which, when planted, is buried to ground level. The leaves on the shoots are significantly shortened or removed.
Plant cuttings in shady place in a pre-prepared bed, covered with a film (if there are a lot of cuttings) or plastic bottles with a cut off bottom.
Advice! Do not remove the neck with the cork from the plastic bottle, this hole can be used for planting ventilation.
In spring, young rose plants can be planted in a permanent place in the garden.
Autumn reproduction of roses
For autumn propagation of roses, lignified, well-ripened annual shoots are used, at least 5 mm thick, which are available in sufficient quantities after pruning rose bushes for the winter.
Prepared cuttings with removed leaves are tied in bunches and stored until spring in a moist substrate of sand and peat. The storage temperature of the cuttings must be maintained within zero degrees. By the end of winter, rose cuttings form callus, which contributes to the rapid rooting of rose bushes in spring.
Flower growers also practice this method of rooting roses in autumn period: chopped cuttings are planted obliquely in open garden, over which a shelter is being built from winter frosts. In the spring, the garden bed is opened and the rose bushes continue to grow in vivo. Plants are transplanted to a permanent place next fall.
The choice of one or another method of grafting roses depends on the grower, growing conditions and quantity. planting material. Regardless of the chosen method of rooting roses, cuttings can be easily and quickly obtained ornamental plants for the garden.

Is it possible to grow roses from cuttings in the fall? On this point, the opinions of flower growers differ, however autumn breeding is often preferred and produces better results than spring.
Rose is the real queen of the garden, whose fragrant buds attract admiring glances all summer long. Every summer resident is ready to take care of roses all year round, if only they were the most beautiful, healthy and blooming willingly.
One of the most popular propagation methods for this beautiful flower is growing roses from cuttings. Autumn is the most suitable period for growing roses, and besides, this activity will not take you much time. Let's learn how to plant a rose from a cutting.
Autumn cuttings of roses - benefits and timing
Unlike rose grafting, cuttings have several advantages:
plants grown in this way do not form a wild root growth, which simplifies their care;
roses from cuttings tolerate winter better and even when the aerial part freezes, they are restored from dormant buds;
it is easy to get planting material - you can take a cutting from any rose from a presented bouquet.
Cutting roses in autumn coincides with their time autumn pruning. Typically, this happens in last days October - early November.
What are the best roses to grow from cuttings?
all varieties of polyanthus and miniature roses;
most semi-climbing roses;
climbing roses from the Rambler group;
roses Excelsa (Excelsa);
large-flowered variety Flammentanz;
varieties Iceberg and Rosalind from the floribunda group;
hybrid tea (not to be confused with tea) roses take root quite quickly, but subsequently they root system develops poorly, so it is better to vaccinate them.
The most difficult thing is to cut remontant and park roses.
How to cut rose cuttings
Roses are cut as follows:
select healthy mature shoots 4-5 mm thick;
cut them into small segments (each of them should have 3-5 developed buds);
make cuts in the upper part straight, and in the lower part - obliquely, so that later you do not get confused about which part to plant the cutting;
carry out all sections with a sharpened tool, treating it with alcohol and rinsing it with boiling water;
make the upper cut 2-3 cm above the upper kidney, and the lower cut right under the lower kidney;
if you root a rose cutting immediately, do not cut off all the leaves, leave a few to provide the plant with nutrition. Remove the lower leaves completely.
Planting a rose from a cutting
As a rule, autumn cutting ends with cuttings planted in a permanent place. This method is preferable already because the plant experiences less stress and takes root better in a new place. General rules autumn rooting rose cuttings look like this:
cut the cuttings and treat them with a root former (for example, Heteroauxin);
dig a hole about 30 cm deep, fill 2/3 with grass and sprinkle with compost;
plant shoots at an angle of 45 degrees, leaving about 1/3 of the cutting or 1-2 buds above the ground above the ground;
Sprinkle them with plenty of water.
Many flower growers do not know how to cover rose cuttings for the winter so that they can safely live until spring. Everything is very simple. Take a plastic or glass container and make a few holes in it for air circulation or raise it above ground level. Sprinkle the bottle with foliage and cover with non-woven material, and mark the landing site with pegs. You can also insulate the landing site with straw.
Roses from cuttings at home
The described method is suitable both for residents of city apartments and for owners of closed terraces on summer cottages. It consists in the following:
in early November, after the first light frost, prepare cuttings with 2-3 buds about 20 cm long;
so that the buds do not bloom ahead of time, quickly dip the tops of the cuttings into melted wax, and then immediately into cold water;
take a plastic bucket or other container and fill it with a layer of expanded clay 5-6 cm thick and ground for roses mixed with perlite or vermiculite;
slightly moisten the soil in the container, dip the lower end of the cutting in water, and then in the Kornevin preparation and stick the cutting into the prepared hole (about 30 cuttings are placed in a bucket with a diameter of 30-40 cm);
wrap containers with cuttings in thick cellophane or a plastic bag and tie with a rope. Fasten the top of the package with clothespins. Either use glass jars(but do not leave planting in the sun);
wrap the container with a blanket and put it on glazed balcony in a warm and bright place;
if the floor on the balcony is cement, the container must be installed on boards or foam;
in case of severe night frosts, remove the cuttings into the room.
dig a hole 15 cm deep in the garden, cover its bottom with covering material (cotton cloth) and place the cuttings there. Mark the edges of the hole with pegs to make it easier to find the stored shoots in the spring;
remove the leaves and lay the cuttings at the same distance from each other;
cover the cuttings with the remaining cloth and sprinkle with earth;
in the spring, after the snow melts, dig up the cuttings and inspect them. Callus is formed on the "accustomed" cuttings - a thick growth on which roots form;
after extraction, it is advisable to immediately plant the cuttings in the cuttings or in a permanent place;
if planting is delayed for a day or more, place the cuttings in a container of water (it is recommended to add a few drops of Epin to it).
How to root a rose from a bouquet
Looking at a beautiful presented bouquet of roses, I want the flowers to remain as fresh and bright long time. Of course, it will not be possible to prolong the "bloom" of cut roses. But you can try to grow a “new bouquet” out of them. To do this, the stems of flowers need to be cut into cuttings. You can root them at any time of the year in flower pots or other containers. For these purposes, you can also use plastic bags, filling them with crushed moss or fibrous peat. Then moisten the filler with a special solution - 1 tsp. aloe juice for 9 tsp water. Slightly inflate the bags, tie them up and hang them from window frame. In an environment with high humidity there will be a greenhouse effect, and the cuttings will begin to form roots. Potted soil should be watered periodically. New shoots and leaves that will form on them should be cut in half so that the plant saves its strength until it is planted in the ground in spring.
Rooting rose cuttings in potatoes
You can also grow a rose using potatoes. Treat the freshly cut stalk with potassium permanganate and leave it in a solution of aloe juice with water (in a 1: 1 ratio) for 12 hours. After that, insert the rose into a potato tuber, from which all the eyes have been removed, place this “composition” in a pot, cover 2/3 with earth and pour with a dark pink solution of potassium permanganate. Subsequently, water the plant with settled water as the topsoil dries up, and every 5 days - with sweetened water (2 tsp sugar per 1 glass of water). Cover the cutting with a jar to create a greenhouse effect and encourage rooting.
Now you have learned all about how to plant rose cuttings in the fall. As a rule, plants planted at this time take root well, take root and must bloom in the future.
Eco Homestead: Breeding garden rose cuttings in autumn or spring - one of the most convenient ways, allowing to propagate decorative culture with minimal cost. spring cuttings carried out in accordance with the technology of reproduction flowering perennials and can be done at home.
Propagation of garden roses by cuttings in autumn or spring is one of the most convenient ways to propagate an ornamental crop at minimal cost. Spring cuttings are carried out in accordance with the technology of propagation of flowering perennials and can be performed at home.
FEATURES OF CUTTINGS IN HOME CONDITIONS
Home cuttings of roses can be carried out both from harvested in the fall, and using planting material cut in the spring. The effectiveness of such propagation of roses largely depends on varietal features and group affiliation decorative culture.
The stalk obtained with climbing rose and floribundas, as well as cut from some varieties hybrid tea rose. It is very difficult to root wrinkled park roses and many varieties of yellow-flowered roses.
The easiest way to root is a cutting obtained from climbing roses and floribunda.
Lignified, harvested during the autumn pruning, should be obtained from a plant that has already stopped active growth processes. annual shoots for cutting cuttings, they should be well matured, as even as possible, about 4-5 mm thick. You can save the cuttings harvested from autumn in the cellar or under normal conditions. household refrigerator, wrapping the planting material in wet moss and plastic wrap.
In conditions warm winter the aerial part of the ornamental culture is well preserved and quite suitable for spring cutting into cuttings 10-12 cm long. Cut semi-lignified or green cuttings should be taken from absolutely healthy and well-developed mother bushes. To prevent increased evaporation of moisture, the upper foliage on the cuttings should be cut off by at least a third, and the lower leaves should be removed completely. A quality cutting should have at least two or three buds.
TECHNOLOGY OF HOME ROOTING
For the most effective rooting of rose cuttings at home, it is necessary to provide the planting material with sufficient lighting, air temperature at the level of + 22-24 ° C, moderate irrigation measures and systematic spraying with water at room temperature. Rose cuttings are recommended to be processed in a solution of special growth stimulants, which can be used as "Heteroauxin", "Kornevin", as well as natural stimulants: aloe juice or honey.
You can plant cuttings in the ground after the roots grow to a length of one and a half centimeters.
Cuttings harvested in spring or autumn can be rooted in several ways:
rooting rose cuttings in the soil involves an inclined landing under the banks in flower pot, filled with a substrate based on peat and moss-sphagnum sand with the addition of fertile soil. Experienced flower growers it is recommended to sprinkle the soil mixture with coarse-grained sand, into which it is immersed Bottom part cuttings, which helps prevent rotting of planting material from excess moisture. It is very important to support optimal performance moisture, and after the buds start to grow, the jar shelter needs to be slightly opened. You can remove the shelter completely after the plant takes root;
rooting rose cuttings in water is also a perfectly acceptable option for propagating an ornamental culture. Water is best used settled or boiled. In a container filled with water, you need to immerse the cuttings treated with a rooting stimulator, after which you need to put the planting material in a room with moderate lighting. Water should be regularly replaced with fresh water. After the roots appear, the cuttings should be planted in seedlings with drainage holes filled with a nutrient soil mixture.
Rooting rose cuttings in the soil involves an inclined landing under the banks
Cuttings can be planted in the ground after the roots grow to a length of one and a half centimeters. It should be remembered that the roots are very fragile and planting in the ground requires extreme caution. The soil around the formed roots must be compacted carefully. Watering is done with water at room temperature. Growing is carried out in a bright place, protected from direct sunlight. As the root system of a young plant increases in size, about three months after planting in a seedling container, the rose may need to be transplanted into a larger flower pot.
HOW AND WHEN TO PLANT IN THE GROUND
Young roses grown by cuttings using temporary containers can be planted in flower beds open ground both in spring and autumn. However spring planting is more preferable, since in this case the plant gets the opportunity to take root in the place of permanent cultivation before the onset of winter frosts.
This feature is due to the predominance of watery roots with a dense fibrous root system in cuttings at the age of three to four months. Such a root system is very sensitive to excess moisture and even slight frosts, as well as temperature changes. Rooted cuttings during the first autumn-winter season must be kept in the most favorable conditions for them.
Spring planting is not difficult even for beginner amateur flower growers, but they suggest right choice plot:
the place should be well lit, especially in the first half of the day, during the period of intensive evaporation of moisture from the leaves, which reduces the risk of injury ornamental plants fungal diseases;
a plant grown in areas with sufficient lighting develops faster and forms a high number of flowers;
when grown in shady areas, garden roses grow and develop slowly, and are also distinguished by the formation of too long, thin shoots, weak flowering, and are often affected by pathogenic microflora and plant pests;
it is advisable to choose areas for landing that are well protected from negative impact such unfavorable natural factors like drafts and gusty winds, as well as stagnant moisture or cold air masses;
the soil should be represented by light loamy soils rich in humus and easily permeable to air and water;
Rooting rose cuttings in water in water is also a perfectly acceptable option for propagating an ornamental culture.
level of occurrence ground water on the site should be located no closer than a meter to the root system of the planted ornamental crop;
to improve light sandy and sandy loamy soils, it will be necessary to introduce rotted manure, soddy soil, non-acidic peat and lime;
make heavy clay soil suitable for growing garden roses is possible through preplant application coarse sand, humus, compost and peat;
special attention require indicators of soil acidity in the area for planting, which should be at a pH level of 6.0-6.5, therefore, if necessary, reduce acidity wood ash or lime, and to increase the level of acidity - peat or manure.
It is best to place garden rose seedlings in well-warmed and sunlit areas with a slight slope to the south, southwest or southeast. In the low-lying area, soil drainage is mandatory. It should be noted that when growing roses in regions with cold climatic conditions and short summer period, planting should be carried out in areas represented by soils with an alkaline reaction.

Roses: cuttings
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SPRING CUTTINGS
Like any method of propagating a decorative perennial crop, cutting a rose in the spring months has both its advantages and some disadvantages:
the resulting plants are not prone to the formation of root shoots, therefore, care measures are greatly simplified;
in southern regions such own-rooted plants winter well and even under conditions of freezing of the aerial parts are able to recover from dormant root buds;
as planting material, you can use cuttings obtained as with garden plants, and cut from the shoots of a bouquet rose.
The disadvantages include reduced winter hardiness of rooted spring cutting first winter period and the need to provide young plants optimal conditions cultivation. published
This will be of interest to you:
Sometimes you don’t want to part with the flowers you have given. In this case, you can make a little effort and grow seedlings for further landing into permanent soil.
Many are interested in how to grow a rose from a cutting from a bouquet. Especially if the variety is unusual or extremely dear to the heart. If desired, you can root the flower you like, and this should not be delayed.
The most successful will be the propagation of roses by cuttings that were cut in the first summer months. It is desirable that the flowers have previously been grown in the local climate and not processed. chemicals to prolong the life of the buds.
The optimal time for germinating cuttings is the days of June, while in August it will be more difficult to achieve the formation of roots on the stems. The hardest thing to grow a plant in winter months, and keep cuttings of roses until spring.
You should not delay getting the cuttings for several days after receiving the bouquet. Fresh flowers brought home on the same day are more likely to germinate.
How to prepare cuttings?
For cuttings, it is necessary to select the strongest flowers with beautiful buds from the bouquet. Their stems should be at the initial stage of lignification, that is, be brown. Too immature ones do not yet have the strength to germinate, and dark brown ones are already starting to rot.
If the flowers are fresh, cuttings can be prepared immediately. When the roses have stood in a vase for a couple of days, it is necessary to cut off the sections by a couple of centimeters and place them in cold water for 4-6 hours.
Preparation of cuttings:
- Cut buds from selected flowers. For planting flowers, they are no longer needed.
- Cut the stems into cuttings from 15 to 30 cm. It is recommended to leave at least 3 buds on each cutting. The top should be 1 cm below the end of the top, and the bottom should be 2 cm above the base.
- The top cut should be straight, the bottom cut at an acute angle.
- Remove all lower leaves from the cutting, and cut the upper leaves by a third.
- Place the cut stems in water to which a root growth stimulator has been added for 6 hours.
- Then you can start rooting the rose in any way possible.
Cuttings that were formed from the middle of the stem take root most well. However, it is recommended to save them all, as the chances of germinating most of the flowers increase.
The secateurs or knife for cutting flowers must be very sharp so as not to break the stem during pruning. In addition, the tools must be disinfected before work.
Use of growth promoters
To increase the chances of root germination and speed up this process, add to the soaking water finished product or self-made. It is necessary to soak the cuttings in solutions from purchased additives for several hours, while a self-prepared growth stimulator acts throughout the day.
What can be soaked cuttings:
- Kornevin (1 gram per 1 liter of water);
- Heteroauxin (1 tab. per 2.5 liters of liquid);
- Radipharm (2 drops per 1 liter of water);
- Zircon (1 ml per 10 liters of liquid);
- Epin extra (1 ampoule per 2 liters of water);
- aloe juice (the composition forms 9 parts of water and 1 part of juice);
- water with honey (1 teaspoon of beekeeping product is added to half a liter of liquid).
Of all the listed biostimulants, Radipharm is the most active. Therefore, the soaking time of the cuttings in it is reduced to 30 minutes.
Rooting methods
There are several ways to grow a rose from cuttings. Most often, flowers germinate in water or soil. However, there are more interesting options. So, for example, gardeners grow roses in bags, potato tubers or newspaper.
Germination in water
This option is the easiest, fastest and most affordable. An important milestone in germination in this way is the selection of high-quality water. Rain or spring liquid is most suitable, tap water is also suitable.
However, the liquid from the pipeline must be prepared in advance. It must be filtered, and then allowed to stand for a day.
How to sprout roots:
- Pour a small amount of water into a jar.
- Lower the prepared cuttings into the liquid by about 1-3 cm.
- Move the container to any place where direct sunlight does not fall.
Water should be changed every 2 days. Growing in this way takes about 3 weeks. Initially, white formations will appear on the stems, from which new roots will grow. This method has a significant disadvantage - often part of the cuttings irretrievably rots.
in pots
The method of growing roses in pots is a little more complicated, but it is one of the most effective.
For rooting you will need:
- lower container for soil;
- upper transparent - for the formation of a mini-greenhouse;
- potassium permanganate solution;
- priming;
- some small stones and sand for drainage.
Initially, you need to choose a suitable container for disembarkation. If one cutting is grown, a 0.5 liter pot will be enough for it. Accordingly, with an increase in the number of future colors, the capacity and its displacement increase.
Steps for rooting in a pot:
- Treat the container for disembarkation with potassium permanganate. This will disinfect it from harmful bacteria.
- Put small stones on the bottom for drainage, then pour in a suitable purchased soil mixture, lightly tamp. You can prepare the soil yourself. To do this, you need to take garden soil and sand in a ratio of 2: 1. Be sure to disinfect the resulting soil.
- Make a small hole in the ground and place the cutting in it. If several of them are planted, the distance between them should be about 6 cm. Compact the loosened soil, pour settled water over it.
- Form greenhouse conditions. To do this, cover the planted cuttings with a jar or plastic bottle if they are in a pot. Seedlings in a box are covered with a film.
- As the topsoil dries, it is necessary to spray it with a spray gun.
The temperature in the room should be at least 25 degrees during the day, and at night the mark on the thermometer should drop to 18. The germination of the cuttings should be judged by the appearance of new light green shoots in about a month.
At this stage, it is necessary to begin to periodically remove the shelter from the roses. First, airing is performed for 3-5 minutes, then gradually the time can be increased. When full leaves appear, the greenhouse is removed completely.
Growing roses in a bag
Rooting the stems in a bag is also a way to help provide future seedlings with maximum moisture and greenhouse conditions. The method is good because it does not require additional containers for planting.
Stages of growing a rose:
- Fill the bag 1/3 full with soil suitable for these flowers.
- Treat the cut of the cutting with a solution to enhance root formation, place it in the ground.
- Fill the remaining space in the bag with air, tie it up and hang it near the window.
The first sprouts begin to appear after 2 weeks. It will be possible to transplant the resulting seedlings into the ground in a month.
With the help of potatoes
The main advantage of growing a strong rose root system in potatoes is the appropriate moisture content of the tuber and the nutrition of the cutting with an optimal amount of carbohydrates. This method allows you to get strong seedlings without spending much effort on it.
First you need to prepare the potatoes. The tuber should be medium in size. It should not be rotten, have damaged areas or sluggish skin. Rinse the potatoes thoroughly, disinfect in a solution of potassium permanganate and dry.
How to germinate a rose cutting in a potato:
- Cut a recess in the tuber, a little short of the opposite side. In width, it should repeat the diameter of the stem.
- Treat the cut of the future flower with a growth stimulator, place the stem in the potato.
- Pour earth into a pot, put a tuber on it, and sprinkle soil on top.
- Pour water.
- Install a greenhouse in the form of a bottle or jar.
Sprouting in newspaper
This method is also called the “burrito method”, since the cuttings rolled into a newspaper really resemble this food product in shape. From the materials you will need a bag, a newspaper and chopped stems.
Germination steps with newspaper:
- Lay several cuttings on paper at once. First bend it at both ends of the stems, and then scroll. It will turn out from the newspaper a roll, inside of which there are future seedlings.
- Moisten paper with plenty of water. Make sure it doesn't break.
- Put the burrito in plastic bag, tie it up.
The bundle should be removed to a place where the temperature will be kept at around 20 degrees. Once a week, you need to unfold the paper, moisten it, and inspect the condition of the cuttings. If any copies are rotten, they must be removed and the newspaper replaced with a new one. Roots form after about 2 weeks.
Planting cuttings of roses from a bouquet to a permanent place
Most the right time The year for planting these flowers is late spring or early summer. Planting roses with cuttings in the fall does not make sense, as the plant will freeze in the ground.
The place for landing must be chosen sunny, on which there are no strong winds. The soil should not deepen too much, as during rain an excessive amount of water will drain into it.
