II. Rose propagation methods

1. Seed propagation

(1) Its seeds all have a period of dormancy. If you propagate it directly, you need to wait more than a year before it slowly grows seedlings, so to propagate successfully, you must first treat the seeds to break their dormancy.

(2) First soak its seeds in water for 1 to 2 days, then take them out, add an appropriate amount of wet sand, then squeeze the wet sand into a ball and wait until no water seeps out. After that, put it into a container and water it to keep it moist. This treatment method is mostly used in winter; then when spring comes, you can take it out to dry in the sun, and when half of the seeds have cracked open, plant them into flower soil.

2. Cutting propagation

(1) The method used most in production is to use the current year's flowering branches for cutting propagation, which makes it easier to survive. Cut off its tender branches and insert them into the soil to wait for rooting.

(2) If it is a relatively precious variety, it is very difficult to root from cuttings, so at this time we can switch to layering or grafting to cultivate and propagate it, and in this way it can bloom in the same year.

(3) If the seedlings are to be used as potted plants, you should choose some good-variety old branches and then use the layering method to propagate them. If the seedlings are to be used as cut flowers, you should choose branches that can form flower-cutting branches on brightly colored varieties for propagation, so that the propagated plants will look better.
