Can rose cuttings survive? When and how to cut and propagate roses

Can rose cuttings survive?

Rose cuttings can be planted alive. As long as the time is right and the climate and environment are suitable, they can be directly inserted into the soil for planting. The survival rate is relatively high and they will survive after a period of planting.

Rose cutting time

Rose cuttings are usually carried out in May of spring or October of autumn every year because the climate is more suitable at that time. When cutting cuttings, the temperature needs to be kept between 20-25 degrees, so that the survival rate after cutting cuttings is extremely high, and the rooting and sprouting are also faster.

Rose cutting method and key points

1. When taking rose cuttings, you need to use relatively sturdy branches, and cut off the leaves on the lower part, leaving 3-4 leaves on the upper part. Then you need to disinfect and dry them.

2. Then you need to prepare suitable soil. Roses are more suitable for growing in loose, breathable and well-drained soil. You should use a flowerpot with a diameter of 20 cm. It is best to fill the soil and disinfect it.

3. It is best to insert the rose branches into the soil. After cuttings, you need to water them appropriately to keep the soil moist. Then cover them with plastic bags and place them in a cool place for maintenance. Roots will grow after 1-2 months.
