Why you can absolutely never grow a true rose at home

A flower friend asked why their rose didn't sprout after being planted for many days, but based on my analysis, what this friend planted was probably a Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis), because true roses are very rare in reality, especially for gardening cultivation, there are basically no true roses, 99% are Chinese roses. If you can't get authentic rose seedlings, then you absolutely cannot grow them, and the wish to romantically grow a pot of roses may come to nothing,

Chinese roses prefer a cool climate and have poor tolerance to heat. They grow fast in a cool climate with abundant flower bud formation, and growth stagnates in a hot environment. Chinese roses also like an outdoor full-sun environment, direct light, and a well-ventilated environment, so the seedlings are less prone to disease and grow well. If planted indoors, it is very difficult for them to grow well, and pests and diseases will multiply abundantly.

Although Chinese roses have strong vitality and can tolerate a certain amount of waterlogging, an overly waterlogged potted environment will cause root damage, making it very difficult for them to sprout. Therefore, if you buy small seedlings in nursery pots online,

it is generally recommended to plant them in root-control pots, using a well-aerated substrate that is beneficial for root development, then let them acclimatize for a day or two, and then combine with outdoor care and fertilizing after waterlogging, so that once the roots recover, they will slowly grow and sprout, and new buds will mean flowers. This is the growth habit of Chinese roses.

There is also a technique to promote new branch growth, which is the branch-laying method, which can break apical dominance. Friends who are interested can give it a try.
