What is the difference between grafting roses and planting roses?

Cuttings seedlings take advantage of the strong characteristics of the self-growing root system in most of the months, and the two bud points of vegetative propagation can be a seedling, which can be propagated rapidly, and the flowering is early, but the life span is shorter, and the activity is lower than that of the seedlings. In early spring or late autumn, when roses are dormant, mature shoots with 3 to 4 buds are cut for cuttings. If shoots are cuttings, shade them properly and keep the seedbed moist.

Rooting can generally take place in 30 days after cuttings, and the survival rate is 70% to 80%. If the rooting powder is dipped in the branch when cuttings, the survival rate is higher, and the rootstock of grafted seedlings may age, although the flowering is relatively blocky, but the growth in the later stage is not good. Cuttings do not have the problem of rootstock aging, and will send out strong shoot buds, and the later growth trend is vigorous.

There are generally two commonly used methods of reproduction. One is cuttings, and the other is grafting. Proponents of cuttings and grafting believe that the method they support is the best, but everything is not perfect, and both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Cuttings are a kind of seedlings that promote their own rooting under the branches buried in the medium by pruning the branches on the mother parent by cuttings in some media such as potting soil, sand or perlite, and by moisturizing to promote the rooting of the branches buried in the medium, because there are bud points left above the branches of each cutting, so the bud points above the living branches of the cuttings will send out new branches, so as to eventually grow into a plant. Rose from cuttings tend to grow at their own pace, some varieties can grow very luxuriantly, but at the same time some varieties grow very slowly and weakly.

First of all, it is certain that cuttings grow slower than grafted seedlings, because it will take some time for these cuttings to develop a strong root system on their own. Generally, it takes about three years for a cuttings to reach the size of the plant that the grafted seedling grows within a year. At the same time, cuttings need excellent female parents, if it is pruning itself is the branch of the cuttings seedling and then cuttings, often because of multi-generational propagation and loss of the original characteristics of the variety of the month, and the seedlings are getting weaker and weaker and more susceptible to disease, flowering is not standard.

It is often mistaken that grafted seedlings are prone to senescence and will not bloom normally after three years. This perception is inaccurate. The reason for this view is, on the one hand, that the rootstock selection is inappropriate, and there are problems in the selection of rootstock varieties and joint parts; On the other hand, it is also caused by improper pruning.

With the proper grafting combination and pruning method, 1 or 2 strong bamboo shoots can grow from the base every year, which can be protected and cultivated, and the strong new stem can replace the original senescent branches, so that the plant can be renewed and rejuvenated. That is to say, if the new branches produced each year become the main flowering trunk of the next year, in this way, the plant will be taller and stronger every year, and the flowering will be more and more every year.

It doesn't age for four or five years.

The seeds obtained by sowing seeds are called real seedlings, and there is generally an atavistic phenomenon, which is often different from the results we expected. Grafted seedlings do not have this phenomenon. It is easy to achieve our purpose.

Rose grafting can be used as a rootstock for mountain roses or general moon seasons, especially the best search for moon seasons, and the grafting time is mid-March, early to mid-July, and mid-to-late September. When the temperature reaches more than 33, the survival rate of grafting is relatively reduced, and when it is lower than 5, the grafted plant is in a dormant state.

There are many trees that can be grafted with roses, and the most common source is the wild rose. In addition, Japanese thornless roses, Dutch roses, large-leaved roses and other trees can also be used for grafting. When grafting, a T-shaped interface should be cut out between the two bud points of the rootstock.

In general, the trees grafted with roses include mountain wood fragrance and rose, but it is common for roses to be grafted as rootstocks. However, there are many types of roses, such as vines, shrubs, thorns, etc. However, the best rootstock for rose grafting is still better to choose thornless white-flowered rose.

How to graft roses.

Rose grafting should use the plants of the Rosaceae family as rootstocks, cut out the T-shaped interface of the selected rootstock skin, and then cut off the rose scion from the mother plant, and slightly sharpen the base, and finally insert it into the rootstock, fix the interface with plastic film, and place it in a semi-shaded and ventilated place when maintaining, so that it can soon survive and grow.

Grafting method of roses.

1. Rootstock treatment.

For rose grafting, plants of the Rosaceae genus such as wild rose and thornless rose can be used as rootstocks, the rootstock requires strong growth and disease-free, and a T-shaped interface is cut along the epidermis at the position between the two bud points of its branches, and the depth of the interface should be consistent with the scion incision.

2. Scion requirements.

When grafting roses, it is best to choose the current year's vigorous, strong and full and disease-free branches, use sterilized sharp scissors to cut the scion next, with a single woody layer around the bud point, and then slightly sharpened, so that it can be completely inserted into the rootstock.

3. Grafting method.

In the evening of a cloudy or sunny day, insert the treated scion buds into the interface of the rootstock, and when grafting, the rootstock and scion should be aligned, and then the scion and rootstock should be tied and fixed with plastic film, during which their wounds should be avoided from contacting water, so that they can take root after a period of time.

4. Maintenance management.

After the roses are grafted, they need to do a good job of maintenance management, at this time, they need to be maintained in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment, and the roses must not be exposed to the sun, and the leaves at the bottom of the rootstock can be cut off to avoid the consumption of excess nutrients and water.

The branches and roots of wild roses can be used, woody flowers, and rose flowers can also be used.

I can graft it.

Many plants belonging to the same genus Rosa can be used for grafting. Among them, wild roses are used more, in addition to it, such as Japanese thornless rose, Dutch rose, pink rose, wood fragrant rose, large-leaved rose and other trees, are also good rootstock choices.

Rose grafting can be used as a rootstock for mountain roses or general moon seasons, especially the best moon season, the grafting time is mid-March, early to mid-July, and mid-to-late September.
