Here comes the detailed tutorial on budding rose rootstocks from Fujimoto.

Before grafting, it is necessary to select certain rose varieties for grafting, of course, this is not certain, but it is only as a reference, especially for those flower friends who do grafting for the first time, it is best to start with some varieties with a high success rate of grafting. With the success of the previous one or two, you can choose your favorite variety for grafting.

The rose we are going to try to graft this time is the larger rattan rose or shrub rose. This kind of grafting is suitable to choose those flowers with large fragrance, easy to grow a lot of branches (that is, the varieties that feel that they can grow into a large area at random), and the branches are more upright (rose is generally upright growth). This refers to the varieties that are more upright).

Those who meet the above conditions are more suitable for the grafting of tree-type rose, and they can usually grow with ornamental value after grafting, of course, some varieties of rich rose with more flowering and branches are also very suitable, and some shrub roses with soft branches and easy to bend and droop are also more suitable, and they grow quite beautiful after grafting.

The first step is to cut off the leaves of the rose branches, or just break them off with your hands. The second part begins with the rootstock (the rose that is grafted). Here, the rootstock should be selected with healthy, robust, more erect branches. Get rid of all the branches on the branch first. all we need is a bare branch. The length can be chosen by yourself, but in view of the growth of the rose in the future, it is recommended to be 1-1.5 meters.

The third step is to start budding. First open the rose branch to peel, cut a knife horizontally at five or six centimeters below the growth point on the branch, the length is 1-2 centimeters, and then cut vertically, the length is also 1-2 centimeters, so that the two incisions are in the shape of "D".

The incision can be stopped when it is cut to the xylem, to what extent is the outside of the branch a brown cortex, and then a yellowish or white wood layer inside, and the wood layer is obviously harder than the cortex. In the incision, at the beginning of the cut to the cortex will feel easier, and then cut in, will feel hard and difficult to cut into, this time is to cut to the xylem, can be stopped.

The fourth step begins to graft rose branches. After cutting, pick it away from the vertical cut with a knife. Remove all the leaves of the rose branch in advance, cut off the bud, and keep the sturdy and full part of the lower bud. Cut across at an angle of 45 degrees from one centimeter below a bud point to cut off the bud point.

The fifth step is to embed the cut bud point into the stem of the rose that has been cut into the mouth of the "D" word, the bud point is just exposed, and the T-shaped incision is closed. The sixth step is to wrap it in a plastic sheet. be careful not to cover the bud here. Just start entangling in a circle under the bud point.

After waiting for ten days and a half months, seeing that the bud is still green, it means that it is already alive. At this time, a small section of the rose branch above the bud point was cut off. It can make the bud get more nutrition and grow faster and better. After grafting, if other new branches grow on the rose branches below the growing point of the grafting, these branches should be pruned, first for the overall beautiful shape, and second, it will affect the growth of the rose above the growing point.
