How to cut cuttings in the fall?
To grow roses from cuttings, cuttings roses, you need to choose stems of medium thickness. At the same time, both flowers growing in the garden and those that have already been cut and are in a bouquet are suitable as a material for creating cuttings.
You need to cut as follows:
- Select the stem and cut it 1.5 mm from the bud.
- The upper cut is made at a right angle at a distance of 1 cm from the kidney.
- All thorns and leaves on the lower cut must be removed. The organs located in the upper part need to be reduced by three times.
- The upper cut must be treated with potassium permanganate or wax in a liquid state.
- Before rooting the cuttings, it must be kept in water or in a solution of a drug that stimulates root growth for a day.
After all these preparatory measures, the plants are planted directly.
Carrying out cuttings of the culture in the fall from the garden, it is necessary to opt for the stem, where the buds are not yet fully formed.
It is necessary to carefully examine the donor individual. If there is an area on the stem that looks like the bark of a tree, then it is immediately eliminated and is not used as a means of propagating roses. The long stem is cut into pieces of 0.07 - 0.08 meters. Moreover, on each "segment" there should not be more than a couple of three buds and the same number of leaves.
If the donor is short, one seedling is formed from it. Separating the stalk from the shoot, the first cut is carried out perpendicularly, the next at an angle of 45 °. In this case, the cutting must be carried out with a sharp knife. The lower cut is carried out near the ground, which contains many nutrients and vitamins, which stimulate the emergence of roots in the seedling.
When are cuttings of roses from bouquets formed? Some, not paying attention to the beauty of the flowers, immediately after the fall, the petals begin to cut the stem. Before that, every night the plants are immersed in a container of water. However, the underside of the bud should not come into contact with moisture. Such "baths" help to keep individuals fresh and nourished with water, which will help the cuttings to take root in the future. However, to get a copy of the "queen" from a bouquet, it is better to cut the copy you like right away.

How to plant cuttings in the fall in the garden?
How to plant roses? Propagating roses by cuttings is not difficult. It is enough to make holes in the soil about 0.15 meters deep and place the seedling in the ground. After that, the earth should be sprinkled with clean sand (layer about 3 cm), or mixed with peat in a 1: 1 ratio. The seedlings should be planted at a depth of 0.02 meters at an acute angle.The distance between individuals should be at least 0.05 meters, and the width of the space between the rows should be 0.08 - 0.1 meters.
After the planted material is watered with a concentrated solution of manganese and each seedling is covered with a plastic bottle. Better yet, install wire frames and cover them with plastic. Such a "home greenhouse" will not allow moisture to evaporate quickly, which will have a positive effect on the culture.
Choosing a place on the site for landing
It is necessary to plant cuttings in the ground only after choosing the right place for planting. The basic rule: the area should be open and well lit, but with light shade, which will protect the plants from sunburn.
If there is a lot of planting material, then rows are formed on the site.
As a soil for planting cuttings in the fall, a mixture of the following components is suitable:
- Sod land;
- Leafy land;
- Sand;
- Humus or peat;
- Ash of a tree.
The proportion of the components in the mixture is 4: 1: 1: 2: 0.5.
Rooting the cutting
How to grow flowers from cuttings? An important role in the process belongs to the rooting of seedlings. Having chosen the right place for planting (where the flowers will not get burned), trenches of 0.15-meter depth are formed on it. The holes are filled by a third with a prepared soil mixture, and sprinkled with sifted and washed sand on top.
A frame with a film is installed above the beds, thus creating a greenhouse.
Next, the cuttings are placed in the holes, fixing the roots in the sand. After all, sand stimulates the growth of these organs. After planting, flower seedlings are isolated from the external environment under the film. The structure can be slightly shaded, because the temperature inside the greenhouse must be constantly kept at 25 °.
The beds are sprayed with clean water three times a day. This helps to maintain the correct humidity level. When the air humidity rises, the improvised greenhouse is ventilated by lifting the film on one side.
After a couple of weeks, roots form on the cuttings. The buds of the seedlings also begin to grow actively, which is easy to notice by controlling the growth of the shoots. After that, the humidity inside the film shelter is reduced through long airings. This is the only way to make flower cultivation as effective as possible. The active growth of crops is evidence that plants no longer need a greenhouse. However, flowers still need sun protection.
How to root cuttings in a container?
The advantage of roses is that they can be grown both in the ground and at home on the windowsill. At the same time, the technology does not differ significantly. The only difference is the soil for cultivation.
If we grow roses in containers, then the rooting of cuttings must be carried out there as well. The procedure for planting flowers practically does not differ from soil. However, there is one significant difference. It is possible to grow roses in containers if the bottom layer of soil consists of pebbles or expanded clay. This is the only way to ensure full air circulation. After draining, fertile soil must be placed in the container. The top layer in the pot is sand. The stalk is placed in the flowerpot in the same way as on the site.
So, the rose is capable of multiplying in different ways. Gardeners most often use cuttings of roses in the fall, and at home. This method is considered to be the simplest, but at the same time it gives excellent results. You can get cuttings from both crops growing in the garden, as from those that have long been plucked and collected from them a bouquet. The effect is exactly the same. Both the stalk grown in the garden and the one formed from a bouquet takes root perfectly. The main thing is to choose the right individual for grafting. So, you can safely propagate flowers in this way, because it gives the most effective results!
