There are many cutting methods of rose, and the cutting time of different branches is different. The tender wood cuttage is the best in April-May or September-October every year, when the rose branches are active, the growth is exuberant and the temperature is suitable. Hardwood cuttings can be cut from dormant period of rose to sprouting in spring, but the temperature should be controlled when cutting. The most suitable season for bud planting is when the new buds are just sprouting in spring. It is worth noting that rose cuttings should avoid the period of high temperature in summer, because it is difficult to sprout at this time, and the high temperature and humidity weather can easily lead to the growth of bacteria, resulting in low success rate of cutting.

The main results are as follows: 1. Softwood cutting is carried out in the best growing season from April to May and from September to October, and it is most easy to take root and survive when the temperature is 2: 5 ℃.

Basically, robust branches can be used as cuttings, watered and covered with plastic film after cutting. the plastic film can be removed when the cuttings sprouted in the next spring.

3. Bud propagation: select the new buds with strong growth, full bud head and the base of the main branch, which can be cut after being washed with clean water, covered with plastic film, ventilated once or twice a day, keep the soil moist, take root after about half a month, and remove the plastic film after 20 days.

Basically follow the principle of no drying and no watering, and watering time and amount of water should be carried out according to the soil conditions in the basin.

5. Fertilization: rose is the peak growing season after May. It should be topdressing every 10 days. No special purchase of fertilizer is required. Fish juice and vegetable leaf juice that are mature and fermented can be used. The ratio of fertilizer to water is about 3:7, and fertilization lasts until November.

6. Pruning: rose has long vines that allow it to grow freely, which not only does not form, but also affects growth and flowering, so it should grow well on a pre-arranged support frame as needed to form a unique ornamental shape.
