Introduction to the Latest Cultivation Methods for Chinese Roses
The Chinese rose is a flower of the Rosaceae family with relatively high economic value. The flowers of the Chinese rose are very brightly colored, mainly pink, and have very high ornamental value. In addition, the flowers of the Chinese rose are also the main raw material for making many fragrances. Its roots and leaves also have medicinal effects such as promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling, and reducing inflammation and detoxifying. So how should the Chinese rose be cultivated? Below, the editor brings you the cultivation methods for the Chinese rose. Let's take a look!
1. Soil selection
If it is cultivated in the open air, then we should choose a planting plot on soil with high terrain and good ventilation and sunlight. Suitable soil is a key factor in ensuring the growth of the Chinese rose. Then before planting, the land preparation work should be done well. After deep ploughing of about 25 cm, expose it to the sun for about 2 days to eliminate pathogens and insect eggs in the soil. Then apply sufficient farmyard manure as base fertilizer to improve soil fertility. If planting by division in flower pots, then the potting soil should be sandy soil with sufficient fertility, and the soil pH value should remain acidic. Change the soil at the appropriate time each year to promote the growth of the Chinese rose.
2. Propagation methods
The propagation methods of the Chinese rose are generally mainly grafting, and among grafting propagation, bud grafting is the main method. When grafting, wild rose should be used as the grafting rootstock, and grafting propagation is usually carried out in August each year. First, use a small knife to make a T-shaped cut on the stem of the rootstock, and the cut position should be as close to the ground as possible. Then use rose as the scion, and select high-quality branches of the current year that are free of pests and diseases. After disinfecting the interface, insert the bud into the cut of the rootstock. Then wrap a layer of plastic bag around the joined part, clamp on the grafting clip, and do a good job of shading. After about half a month, it will heal and survive, and then after proper cultivation it can be planted in the field.
3. Water and fertilizer management
The Chinese rose has a relatively large demand for nutrients. During the growth period of the Chinese rose, topdressing should be applied about three times a month. No matter what kind of fertilizer it is, the amount used must be strictly controlled to prevent excessive fertilizer from causing fertilizer damage to the Chinese rose. When fertilizing, we should control the type and amount of fertilizer according to the growth condition of the Chinese rose and the fertility of the soil. The Chinese rose likes water but fears waterlogging, so there must be no standing water in the field to prevent root rot from soaking. In high-temperature seasons such as summer, watering is basically needed once a day to keep the soil moist. The main watering time and amount should be determined according to weather changes and temperature.
4. Daily management
Pruning work is very important for the growth of the Chinese rose. During the budding period of the Chinese rose, one flower bud with good appearance and no pests or diseases should be selected, and then the rest should be cut off. Keeping one flower bud per branch is enough to improve the ornamental value of the Chinese rose. Then when planting, attention must be paid to good ventilation. Reasonable ventilation can promote the growth of the Chinese rose and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases. Finally, we should control the temperature well. The temperature should be maintained at around 20-25 degrees. It must not be too high, otherwise it will affect the flower bud differentiation of the Chinese rose.
The above is a simple introduction to the cultivation methods of the Chinese rose. The ornamental value of the Chinese rose is very high. Therefore, we must do a good job in pruning the Chinese rose. Improper pruning will have a great impact on its ornamental quality. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
