2. Rosa roxburghii planting techniques
(1) Rosa roxburghii can be planted by sowing, cuttings, or layering.

(2) The suitable period for planting Rosa roxburghii is from late December to early February of the following year. Before planting, the soil should be deeply plowed and matured, improved, and planting trenches or holes dug; if the plot has poor fertility, it also needs to be improved before planting.
(3) The planting density of Rosa roxburghii is best at 2 m × 1 m, 2 m × 1 m, or 2.5 m × 1.5 m, 2.0 m × 1.5 m, chosen according to different planting conditions; when planting, be sure to spread out the root system, then fill in soil, firm it, and water thoroughly with planting water.
