Propagating garden roses by cuttings in autumn or spring is one of the most convenient ways to propagate an ornamental crop at minimal cost. Spring cuttings are carried out in accordance with the technology of propagation of flowering perennials and can be done at home.
FEATURES OF CUTTINGS AT HOME
Homemade rose cuttings can be carried out either from planting material harvested in the fall or using planting material cut in the spring. The effectiveness of such rose propagation largely depends on varietal characteristics and group affiliation decorative culture.
The easiest way to root is cuttings obtained from climbing roses and floribundas, as well as those cut from some varieties hybrid tea rose. It is very difficult to root wrinkled park rose and many varieties of yellow-flowered rose.
The easiest way to root is cuttings obtained from climbing roses and floribundas.
Lignified ones, harvested during autumn pruning, must be obtained from a plant that has already ceased active growth processes. Annual shoots for cutting cuttings should be well-ripened, as smooth as possible, and approximately 4-5 mm thick. You can save cuttings harvested in the fall in the cellar or in a regular household refrigerator, wrapped planting material into damp moss and plastic film.
In conditions warm winter the above-ground part of the decorative crop is well preserved and is quite suitable for spring cutting into cuttings 10-12 cm long. Cut semi-lignified or green cuttings should be taken from absolutely healthy and well-developed mother bushes. To prevent increased evaporation of moisture, the upper foliage on cuttings should be cut off by at least a third, and the lower leaves should be completely removed. A high-quality cutting should have at least two or three buds.
HOME ROOTING TECHNOLOGY
For the most effective rooting of rose cuttings at home, it is necessary to provide the planting material with sufficient lighting, air temperatures at + 22-24 ° C, moderate irrigation measures and systematic spraying with water room temperature. It is recommended to treat rose cuttings in a solution of special growth stimulants, for which you can use “Heteroauxin”, “Kornevin”, and also natural stimulants: aloe juice or honey.
You can plant cuttings in the ground after the roots have grown to a length of one and a half centimeters
Cuttings harvested in spring or autumn can be rooted in several ways:
Rooting rose cuttings in the soil involves inclined planting under jars in a flower pot filled with a substrate based on peat and moss-sphagnum sand with the addition of fertile soil. Experienced flower growers It is recommended to sprinkle the soil mixture with coarse sand, into which it is immersed. Bottom part cuttings, which helps prevent rotting of planting material from excess moisture. It is very important to maintain optimal moisture levels, and after the buds begin to grow, the jar cover needs to be opened slightly. You can completely remove the cover after the plant has taken root;
Rooting rose cuttings in water is also a completely acceptable option for propagating an ornamental crop. It is best to use settled or boiled water. The cuttings treated with a rooting stimulant must be immersed in a container filled with water, after which the planting material must be placed in a room with moderate lighting. Water should be replaced regularly with fresh water. After the roots appear, the cuttings need to be planted in seedling containers with drainage holes filled with a nutritious soil mixture.

You can plant cuttings in the ground after the roots have grown to a length of one and a half centimeters. It should be remembered that the roots are very fragile and planting in the ground requires extreme caution. The soil around the formed roots must be compacted carefully. Watering is done with water at room temperature. Growing is carried out in a bright place, protected from direct sun rays. As the size of the root system increases young plant, about three months after planting in a seedling container, the rose may need to be transplanted into a larger flower pot.
HOW AND WHEN TO PLANT IN THE GROUND
Young roses grown by cuttings using temporary containers can be planted in open ground flower beds, both in spring and autumn. However spring planting is more preferable, since in this case the plant gets the opportunity to take root in the place of permanent cultivation before the onset of winter frosts.
This feature is due to the predominance of watery roots with a dense fibrous root system in cuttings aged three to four months. Such root system very sensitive to excess moisture and even minor frosts, as well as temperature changes. During the first autumn-winter season, rooted cuttings must be kept in the most favorable conditions for them.
Spring planting is not difficult even for novice amateur gardeners, but it requires right choice area:
the place should be well lit, especially in the first half of the day, during the period of intense evaporation of moisture from the leaves, which reduces the risk of damage ornamental plants fungal diseases;
a plant grown in areas with sufficient lighting grows faster and produces a high number of flowers;
when grown on shady areas, garden roses grow and develop slowly, and are also characterized by the formation of too long, thin shoots, weak flowering and are often affected by pathogenic microflora and plant pests;
it is advisable to choose areas for planting that are well protected from the negative effects of such unfavorable natural factors as drafts and gusty winds, as well as stagnant moisture or cold air masses;
the soil should be light loamy soils, rich in humus and easily permeable to air and water;
Rooting rose cuttings in water is also a completely acceptable option for propagating an ornamental crop.
burial level groundwater on the site should be located no closer than a meter to the root system of the planted ornamental crop;
to improve light sandy and sandy loam soils, the addition of rotted manure, turf soil, non-acidic peat and lime will be required;
make it hard clay soil suitable for growing garden roses through the pre-planting application of coarse sand, humus, compost and peat;
special attention require soil acidity indicators at the planting site, which should be at a pH level of 6.0-6.5, therefore, if necessary, reduce the acidity by adding wood ash or lime, and to increase the acidity level - peat or manure.
It is best to place garden rose seedlings in well-warmed and sunny areas with a slight slope to the south, southwest or southeast. In low-lying areas, soil drainage is mandatory. It should be noted that when growing roses in regions with cold climatic conditions and short summer period, planting should be carried out in areas represented by soils with an alkaline reaction.

Roses: cuttings
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SPRING CUTTINGS
Like any method of propagating a decorative perennial crop, cutting roses in the spring months has both its advantages and some disadvantages:
the resulting plants are not prone to forming root shoots, so care activities are greatly simplified;
in the southern regions, such rooted plants overwinter well and, even in conditions of freezing of the above-ground part, are able to recover from dormant root buds;
cuttings obtained from both garden plants, and cut from shoots of bouquet roses.
The disadvantages include the reduced winter hardiness of rooted spring cuttings in the first winter period and the need to provide young plants optimal conditions growing. published

Many amateur flower growers grow their own rooted roses from cuttings. Unlike propagation by seeds and grafting, this method is the fastest and most effective. Propagation of roses by seeds it’s a long process, and not everyone knows how to do the vaccination correctly, so the simplest and most quick way get new rose– cuttings.
However, propagation of roses by cuttings is not always successful, since not all varieties lend themselves to this method. There are roses with varying degrees and difficulty of rooting.
Cuttings of roses can be divided into several ways:
- Burito method;
- rooting in the soil in summer;
- planting cuttings before winter;
- rooting in water;
- in the package;
- in potatoes;
- Trannoy's method.
Burrito
Cuttings of roses using the Burito method consists in cutting long fragments of the rose stem 15-20 cm long. After treating the sections with immune preparations - Epin, Tsitovit, Kornevin and others like them, the cuttings are wrapped in damp newspaper and placed for a couple of weeks in a dark space at temperature 15-18 degrees.
However, there are no clear recommendations in this case. Some place the wrapped cuttings at a lower temperature, others at a high one. But judging by the reviews on various forums, the method does not provide 100% rooting, and there is no need to even talk about 50%.
It is not clear why this method is attractive, it practically repeats the method of rooting in bags, but our flower growers are passionate and persistent people, perhaps someone manages to grow roses this way.
Summer rooting of cuttings
With this method, cuttings are taken from a shoot that is either just about to bloom or has just faded. That is, the shoot should not yet become woody.
There is an opinion that those cuttings that were taken from side shoots, which are not the most powerful, take root better. And cuttings taken from the bottom of the shoot lend themselves better to rooting.
A cutting with 3-4 internodes is cut with sterile, sharp instruments that do not crush the shoot tissue. It is better to use a razor or a sharp utility knife.
The cut above the upper bud is made straight at a distance of 1-1.5 cm from the internode. On the lower side, the cut is made obliquely directly below the bud at a distance of 0.2-0.4 cm. An oblique cut makes it possible to form a larger number of roots.
The cut cuttings are tied into bunches according to the variety, type of roses that you are going to propagate, and placed in a solution of stimulants for a while according to the description on the package, after which the cuttings must be rinsed clean water and planted in the ground. But first the ground needs to be prepared. Holes for planting cuttings must either be spilled with a strong solution of potassium permanganate or plant fragments of stems in clean, washed sand poured inside the hole. It is important that the lower cut does not come into contact with fertile soil in this case to avoid rotting.
Cuttings are planted one or 2-4 pieces in each nest obliquely at an angle of 45 degrees and covered with jars, cut plastic bottles, pre-painted with lime or water-based emulsion, for shading.
Where to plant cuttings - in the sun or in the shade? There is also no consensus on this matter. Most information recommends shade or partial shade. But P. Trannau advises planting in a sunny place, but with partial shading. In cloudy weather, the shading must be removed.
One more moment! If leaves are left on the cuttings, usually the top few leaves or their halves are left, then such cuttings need diffused sunlight. If there are no leaves, then rooting occurs better in the dark.
Caring for planted cuttings consists of watering - infrequently, loosening around the soil cover and removing weeds under the jar during quick ventilation. As soon as leaves appear on the cuttings, constant ventilation is necessary. If they are covered with a plastic bottle, you can make many holes with a hot needle, if with a glass jar, then lift the jar by placing something under the rim. It is necessary for the cutting to gradually get used to the surrounding air.
It is better when the cuttings are planted on permanent place so as not to subsequently injure weak roots with transplantation.
Rooting cuttings in potatoes
Propagating roses in potatoes is enough known method, which consists in the fact that the cuttings are simply stuck into a potato tuber from which all the eyes have previously been removed. After which the tuber with the cuttings inserted is buried in the soil. With this method, the cutting receives the necessary nutrition directly from the potato, so rapid formation of roots is possible.
Trannoy method
The essence of this method is that before cutting cuttings for rooting, they must be prepared. This is done to stimulate the flow of starch from the leaves directly into the stem. When an ordinary cutting with leaf fragments or without them is planted, the cuttings do not have sufficient nutrition and often die either from damping off or from overheating by the sun. And the presence of a sufficient amount of starch stimulates the formation of roots in the cuttings.
To prepare, the top of a rose stem with an already faded flower and even a couple of small leaves is cut off. After a few days, you will notice that the lower buds have swollen and are preparing to turn into twigs. This cannot be allowed. As soon as the buds sprouted, we immediately cut the cuttings. Overgrown buds quickly form leaves when the cuttings do not yet have roots, and this will serve as an additional reason for death.
A swollen bud indicates that the plant is ready to continue life, the wood has matured and there is enough strength to form leaves and, accordingly, roots on the cutting.
Based on the timing of cuttings, we choose June-July, when the first wave of flowering ends. The length of the cutting is up to 20 cm so that the green bark initially becomes the roots of the cutting, extracting food from the soil.
All leaves that are on the cutting are cut off except the top two. Trannoy advises planting cuttings in a sunny place for constant growth, citing the fact that in this case the root system develops better. Naturally, if the cuttings sit in a permanent place right away, then it is more profitable to plant several pieces in one hole. One of them will definitely take root.
The inclined planting at an angle of 45 degrees is explained by the fact that in this position the cutting will be better provided with oxygen. Planted specimens are covered plastic bottles volume 5 liters, cut into two parts. The top should be lightly shaded with grass, netting, and branches without leaves. It is important that the sun still penetrates partially. The rest of the care is the same as for cuttings planted in the usual way. Loosening the soil around the shelter is necessary to provide oxygen access to the roots. Plastic container remains above the cutting until winter, even despite the fact that leaves have appeared.
Planting before winter
Cutting roses in the fall is the same as keeping them alive until spring. It is unlikely that the cuttings will have time to take root before winter, and bringing them into the house is an unnecessary concern, since growing roses at home is fraught with great difficulties.
Spring pruning provides a lot of material for cuttings. The only reason for autumn cuttings is if you have a unique variety of rose and need to preserve it. In this case, it is easier to bury the cuttings in the ground and make a dry shelter on top. And in the spring, plant it like a regular cutting. However, this is my purely subjective opinion.
Rooting in water
Cuttings from a bouquet of roses is also possible, but this is only if the bouquet of roses did not come to you from abroad, but was made up of local varieties. We cut cuttings from the stems of faded roses, as expected, and leave them in water. Water should be distilled, but not boiled. Constantly changing it is the whole point of care. As soon as the roots appear, the cuttings are transplanted into a nutrient substrate in a pot or immediately to a permanent place of residence, under cover from a plastic eggplant or glass jar.
Cuttings in a bag
The prepared cuttings are placed in damp sphagnum moss or sterile soil. The bag is inflated, tied tightly and hung on the window. After three to four weeks, the first roots should appear. Fog is created and, accordingly, humidity. It is recommended to moisten sphagnum moss with a solution of aloe juice in a ratio of 1:9, where 1 part is aloe juice, 9 parts are water.
Rooted cuttings, even if they have already acquired the appearance of real bushes, need careful covering using the dry air method for the winter.
Rose means a symbol of victory, pride and love. Its incredibly beautiful buds fascinate and attract us. Many gardeners dream of having a queen of flowers on their plot or windowsill. Anyone can get 5 beautiful healthy bushes from one branch; to do this, you just need to read the information provided and get down to business as soon as possible.
How to propagate a rose from cuttings - features
Propagating a rose garden from cuttings is the easiest way to “clone” favorite plant. Unlike other methods of propagation, cuttings have a number of advantages:
- Flowers grown in this way do not form wild shoots.
- The root system acquires the ability to withstand frost.
- It is easy to purchase planting material - even an ordinary purchased rose is suitable for propagation. But, provided that it is not Dutch, but ours, domestic. Imported flowers are fed with stimulants and they lose their ability to take root.
Cuttings from miniature, climbing, polyanthus and hybrid tea varieties, which do not require grafting and rootstock. The varieties are almost not propagated by cuttings yellow species and park wrinkled rose.
How to propagate roses from cuttings. Preparation of planting material
It is better to carry out the procedure with summer semi-lignified shoots grown in this year. Most favorable time For cutting, mid-to-late July is considered.
- Cut a branch 40-50 cm long, remove all thorns with pruning shears.
- Cut the woody shoot into the desired number of elements - but each of them must have at least three buds.
- The bottom cut is made 1 cm from the bottom sheet and should be oblique,
- The upper cut is made 0.5 cm from the upper bud and should be clearly straight.
To speed up rooting, treat the planting material with a mixture of a growth stimulator and keep it in a manganese solution for 10-15 minutes to avoid rotting. There are several ways to cut roses; it’s not difficult to choose the right one; you just need to know where the flowers will be grown.
How to propagate a rose from cuttings using the Burito method
The original and very simple method originated in the USA, quickly gained popularity and spread throughout the world. Its essence lies in rooting cuttings using ordinary newspaper, namely:
- 5-7 prepared shoots are wrapped in 2-3 layers of newspaper, moistened and placed in a plastic bag.
- The resulting package is put away in dark place and kept at a temperature of + 14-18 degrees for exactly 20 days.
After the specified period, the packages are carefully unwrapped and the roots are checked. Next, the finished seedlings are placed for permanent residence in pots or in a flower bed.

How to propagate roses by cuttings in water
Planting material is placed in a well-cleaned container - glass jar or plastic cups, fill with distilled water. Further care consists of regularly changing the water. After 15-20 days, the long-awaited roots will appear. The plant is then planted in flower pots or in open ground. After planting, it is also recommended to cover the shoot with plastic wrap.
How to propagate roses by cuttings in the fall
Seating arrangements in winter are used extremely rarely, but this method also has its fans. The material for “cloning” is prepared by autumn pruning bush. Finished shoots should be 3-5 mm thick and have at least 5 eyes.
The cuttings are planted immediately in the flowerbed, watered and covered with film or glass jars.
When the temperature drops to -5 degrees, the soil is mulched with dry grass and covered until spring. If spring planting is planned, then the cuttings are tied and covered with cleaned river sand and are stored in a garden hole dug with 2 shovels. In spring, seedlings are placed in open ground.
How to propagate roses by cuttings - planting and care
Roses are very picky about the composition of the soil; it should consist of 1 part sand, 4 parts turf, 2 parts humus and 1 part leaf. If the plant will be kept in room conditions, you can purchase a ready-made soil mixture, it will already contain all the necessary microelements.
- The cuttings are deepened no lower than the level of the second eye, the approximate depth is 2-3 cm.
- A distance of 20-30 cm is left between the seedlings. It is advisable to sprinkle the soil on top with sand, this will prevent rotting of the root system.
Further care comes down to daily watering and spraying with settled warm water. When the first green leaves appear, the greenhouse can be gradually opened so that the plant gets used to new environment a habitat.
Many lovers indoor plants prefer to have a rose among their pets. This is not hampered by the whimsical nature of the plant, susceptibility to pests, or difficulties in care. In addition to the beautiful bloom of the “queen of flowers”, rose bushes create unique style for a botanical corner.
Even a single indoor rose can elegantly decorate a window. Propagation of this plant by cuttings retains all the characteristics of the original species and has advantages over other methods.
What roses are bred and grown indoors?
Home indoor roses come in a variety of colors. Miniature varieties usually have very slender bushes, exactly repeating the most beautiful tea and hybrid tea species.
There are a lot of varieties and types of roses. For indoor growing take compact plants, because the rose root system requires quite a lot of soil and does not like being cramped.
Potted crops can be the following types of home or indoor roses.
- Rosa Kordana - small size, lush, odorless.
- Miniature roses.
- Climbing roses - have elongated stems.
- Shrubs.
These are just some of the varieties that can be taken from cuttings and grown at home. Hybrid tea garden roses should not be forced to grow indoors. They're almost not amenable to cuttings in room conditions. How to propagate roses?
Reproduction methods
Known following methods propagation of these flowers:
- seeds, which is very labor-intensive and almost never practiced;
- cutting roses is the most common and popular method;
- layering if the stems are long and climbing.
The rose is also grafted onto a rose hip, obtaining a specimen of the desired variety. But this is no longer reproduction. And also the grafting is used exclusively in gardening.
How to propagate roses from cuttings? Many species propagate by cuttings, but this is not always the case simple task. Rosa Cordana, for example, difficult to reproduce. And miniature varieties intended for indoors and interiors are easier to take cuttings.
Method for growing roots in water
This method is most suitable for miniature and dwarf roses. Roses are most often propagated from green cuttings. These are annual shoots that have produced buds. To form roots in water, it is recommended to follow the following rules.
Features of the root growing method
According to one opinion, when roots appear, the rose is placed in the ground. This increases the chances of survival, and the plant itself is not weakened.
Other flower growers believe that miniature roses wait up to three weeks for roots to appear and grow them up to a centimeter. They must branch out. Plant in 200 ml containers with holes for draining water.
Some take into account the phases of the moon and believe that landing should be done on the waxing moon. But in order to take this factor into account, the moon needs to shine through the window, giving the plant additional lighting.
That is, the windows should be south facing north side it does not matter. In addition, by waiting for the “correct” moon, you can miss the time for a successful planting and weaken the plant.
Very often you don’t have to wait long for the first flowering of a rooted rose; the bud appears soon. But this depends on the variety and other conditions.
Cuttings for rooting
Propagation material - cuttings - are obtained in the process of pruning indoor roses. If the rose grew outside, but is small in size, suitable for indoor growing, you can take branches from it.
But not every variety of garden rose will take root in indoor pot. climbing rose considered suitable for rooting. And here is the tea room garden rose gives almost no good results, perhaps only a small percentage.
The most suitable shoots for rooting are received in spring and summer, with ripe buds or blooming. Long shoots are also suitable. Required condition- presence of kidneys. The length of the cutting is up to 12 cm.
Knife or scissors for cutting preferably disinfect alcohol or potassium permanganate. We make a cut under the bud from below and above the bud at a distance of up to 1 cm from above. Existing leaves are cut in half.
Method of rooting in the ground
The cuttings are planted in the ground immediately after cutting. There are drugs that promote rooting. You need to dip the lower cut of the cutting into the Kornevin preparation. And from the Epin product they make a solution in which the sections are kept for up to half a day.
Cutting immersed in the ground by 1/3 and compact the soil. Naturally, before harvesting cuttings, containers with soil must be prepared. Each container is covered with a jar or a common greenhouse is made under the film.
Moisture in a greenhouse evaporates slowly. Therefore, you do not need to water every day. Favorable soil temperature is up to 25 degrees Celsius.
Roses are a must good lighting required. If you can’t put them on the windowsill, we provide lighting (daylight hours - 15 hours). Rooting time is up to 5 weeks. When the leaves begin to grow, then you can supply air to the greenhouse, and then completely remove the film (can).
If rooting was done in a common container, over time the roses seated one by one. The distance between roses should be approximately 5 cm. When in the light, roses should not be exposed to the scorching sun.
When the root system grows, transfer it with a lump of earth into a large container. In a 500 ml container, the rose can live until next spring without replanting. Regular care: watering, temperature.
In autumn they can stand on the veranda in cool conditions. In winter you also need to keep them away from the heat of the battery. As the winter days begin to lengthen, the plants will respond by growing. Don't wait in the first year abundant flowering, since it occurs subsequently with thorough rooting.
Rooting by air layering
If a compact (indoor) size crop has long stems associated with the climbing variety, then it can be propagated by layering. It's more reliable way, not dangerous to the life of the rooted branch.
Air layering can be rooted in any plant. And this is exactly what they do for reliability if there are not enough cuttings. When propagating by layering, it is advisable to take a flowering branch.
Leaves are removed from the bottom and make longitudinal cuts with a sharp cutting object (razor or knife) on the bark. Then place a bag of sand over the incision site. This soil needs to be moistened regularly for rooting.
After three weeks or earlier, root buds will begin to develop on the cut stem. If the stem darkens at the cut site and there are no roots, a conclusion is drawn: rooting by layering did not work. You need to cut this shoot above the damaged area and plant it as a cutting.
Successful rooting can be determined by the growth of new shoots. Need to moisten the soil regularly without allowing excess moisture. Drying out is also unacceptable. The size of the pot is also important.
Soil and fertilizers. Ready-made soil is sold in packaging for roses, containing all the necessary components. You can also make soil from a mixture of sand and peat.
Sand with turf - good composition soil for further development of the plant. The substrate is prepared by taking light soil, adding to it twice as much turf, the same amount of peat and a little sand.
Humus is a good fertilizer for roses. When new leaves appear on a rooted rose, you can apply mineral fertilizers and organic.
Container size and greenhouse conditions
The opinions of flower growers differ. Some insist that the pot matches the size of the plant and believe that the cutting needs a small container, no more than 200 ml.
Others say: the rose loves a large number of soil and you can immediately take a larger pot. One way or another, there must be a good one in the container drainage, drain holes.
After the roots occupy all the space in a small pot, the rose must be transplanted directly with a lump of earth into the container bigger size. If the pot is too large, there is a danger of uneven moisture, stagnation of moisture, and the appearance of pests that spoil the roots.
When rooting a single rose in balcony box, you can plant other plants there that have similar climatic preferences. It is quite possible to plant several rose cuttings in one box.
It must be taken into account that wind and draft are also harmful to the crop during rooting. For protection from wind, as well as for long-term preservation of moisture and creating the necessary climate greenhouses are used. This is a plastic film covering a container or a jar for each bush.
Dangers and pests
The spider mite is perhaps the most common reason plant diseases. Signs of infection - yellowing leaves, stunting. Sometimes home flower cannot be saved. Regular inspection of the foliage of the plant from the back side, as well as the tops, is required.
Although healthy appearance indoor plant speaks for itself, to combat spider mite When it is detected, drugs are used, for example, Fitoverm, potassium soap for spraying.
Mini roses are resistant to disease, but sometimes they are affected by a gray coating on the foliage. The result of the disease is yellow leaves. Aphids are also a pest that can infect tender plants.
And this happens in a weakened state caused by waterlogging of the soil and excess fertilizer. To avoid ticks, it is recommended to spray the bushes.
Any mold that has appeared must be washed off the plant, as well as clean the entire window sill and allow it to dry. Against mold you need good air circulation and ventilation.
A home rose garden does more than just decorate a room and its window. With the help of this beautiful and harmoniously created plant, you can achieve a chic floral design for a illuminated area of the interior.
If you have the skills, they do new plantings, even rooting roses from bouquets. Having one indoor rose to begin with, over time you can acquire the whole plantation. Moreover, there are compact varieties beautiful indoor roses.
Rose care includes seasonal pruning of shoots, on which you can try rooting methods. If the cutting methods are different, then you should always divide the batch of cuttings into two and look for suitable rooting conditions using both methods. After all, adaptation conditions vary depending on the variety and other factors.
Our grandmothers, growing garden strawberries, or strawberries, as we used to call them, did not particularly worry about mulching.
