PROPAGATION OF ROSE PLANT

 Propagation of rose -

The propagation of roses can be performed by different ways : - By plant division and layering (for hardwood species). - By seeding (as for all species giving grains). - "in vitro" propagation : a very short time , 1 to 2 months instead of 12 to 18 months with upper methods.

Mostaly rose are propagate is two types-

1- Cutting

2- T budding (commercial method)

1- Cutting - cutting is mainly three type .

* Soft wood cutting

* Semihard wood cutting 

* Hard wood cutting 

Taking Cuttings From Roses

Weather and other factors can impact when softwood is ready for cutting, and southern regions are very different from northern growing zones. Don't base your timing strictly on a calendar; look to your roses — and their fading blooms — instead.

Before you begin, gather these basic items:

• A clean, sharp knife or bypass pruners
• A bucket of warm water, to keep cuttings moist
• RootBoost™ Rooting Hormone
• A small dish to hold the rooting hormone for dipping
• A small stick or pencil to make planting holes

• Softwood cuttings, the fastest and easiest to root, are taken in late spring and early summer, when flexible new stems are just beginning to mature. Prime softwood cuttings come from pencil-size stems below rose blooms that have dropped their petals.
• Semi-hardwood cuttings are taken in late summer and early fall, when new stems have partially matured. By this time, the firm stems may have rosehips forming where blooms appeared before.
• Hardwood cuttings, the slowest and most difficult to root, are taken in late fall or early winter, when the year's new stems have matured, hardened and entered dormancy  

2 T budding- T-budding is an easy form of grafting (propagating), where a bud rather than shoot is attached to a rootstock to make a new plant. It sounds complicated but, with practice, can be mastered by anyone and, as just one bud is needed to make a rose or tree, it is very economical.
