In recent years, tree-stump roses have appeared in people's view in China with a brand-new image, leaping to become the "new darling" of the rose bonsai world. But tree-stump roses are generally completed through grafting, which makes it necessary to consider the tree stump used as rootstock. Because whether the tree stump is chosen well or not not only affects the growth effect of the tree-stump rose, but also plays an important role in the flowering effect of the rose. So, what old stumps are used for tree-stump roses?

Roses: prevention and control of rose aging and rejuvenation of old stumps

At present, as far as the domestic market is concerned, the most used is Banks' rose (Rosa banksiae) with a tree age of several decades, used as the old rootstock stump for grafting tree-stump roses. But the range of grafted rose varieties involved is also relatively wide, with common ones including Pink Fan, Crimson Fan, Electronic Watch and other varieties. However, after all, resources of thick and strong old Banks' rose stumps used as rootstock are limited, so people's attention also began to shift to roses (Rosa multiflora). And using old Rosa multiflora stumps as rootstock can graft many relatively excellent foreign rose varieties. Therefore, the practice of using Rosa multiflora as rootstock to graft roses has gradually become popular.

Grafting is an important measure for transforming and breeding new varieties, and tree-stump roses have gradually become popular precisely under such means and background, and the new rose varieties bred can also bring people a kind of ingenious visual experience and enjoyment after being made into bonsai. Because tree-stump rose bonsai are relatively easy to control in height in terms of plant shape, their application is relatively flexible and shaping is also relatively convenient, often able to create bonsai effects of various styles.

Practice has proved that whether using old Banks' rose stumps or old Rosa multiflora stumps as rootstock to graft tree-stump roses, the new rose bonsai produced often appear more novel and full of vitality, while at the same time not losing the inherent noble temperament of roses. Moreover, for the same old stump, multiple rose varieties can often be cultivated, letting tree-stump roses bloom with different rose flowers, making the flower colors richer and doubling the overall ornamental value of the bonsai.

However, tree-stump rose bonsai often require their flower crown to be higher above the potting soil, mainly to avoid pests and diseases in the soil infecting the tree body. And the Rosa multiflora stumps used as rootstock often have very developed root systems and are also very tenacious in vitality, so tree-stump roses are also very widely used. Whether for individual household users or for landscaping, including other important public places, they are often relatively suitable for planting. It is just that in the process of planting and management it is often relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive, but compared with the harvest, all the effort paid is still worth it.
