Roses bloom in all four seasons and come in a wide range of flower colors, earning them the title "Queen of Flowers." They are a common green plant and flower variety. The rose is a woody flowering plant that roots very easily from cuttings. Today we will mainly discuss some points to note when taking rose cuttings.

After a rose finishes blooming, its branches need to be pruned before it will bloom again. You can choose semi-lignified branches from after flowering for cuttings, because they are full of nutrients and root quickly.

Cut the branches at an angle and shorten them to 5-7 cm, keeping 1-2 growth buds on each small section to encourage new shoots to sprout. Soak the prepared rose branches in a carbendazim solution for 5~10 minutes to disinfect and sterilize them.

Insert the dried branches into a nutrient soil made by mixing perlite and coconut coir in a 1:1 ratio, and keep them in a spot with plenty of scattered light. During the cultivation period, keep the potting soil slightly moist. Roses like fertilizer, so you can water them once every half month with fermented cake fertilizer water. Roses root quickly and will take root after half a month.
