For most varieties of rose, the optimum temperature is 15-26°C during the day and 10-15°C at night. Although the soil requirements are not strict, loose, fertile, organic-rich, slightly acidic, well-drained loam is more suitable.

When it comes to rooting rose cuttings, the important part is the nutrient soil.
Many growers find mixing nutrient soil troublesome and would rather buy some special flower soil. In fact, bought special flower soil is not necessarily suitable for every kind of flower. Soil like what roses like, fertile, loose and breathable, and also slightly acidic, is not common. So, it is still best to recommend making your own nutrient soil.
Benefits of homemade nutrient soil:
You can add various substances needed for rose growth, so you can control the nutrient ratio yourself. In addition, you can also know clearly when to repot.
Homemade rose nutrient soil:
First prepare four materials: peat soil, coconut coir, perlite, and leaf mold, then mix them in a ratio of 1:1:0.5:1. Why add coconut coir and leaf mold? Because both coconut coir and leaf mold are rich in organic matter, and leaf mold also contains many trace elements needed by plants. Mixing these two things into the soil is equivalent to organic fertilizer. Moreover, adding leaf mold also has a certain effect of retaining water and loosening the soil. In addition, because perlite is granular, it can provide aeration.
