1. Grafting time
Grafting roses should be done in spring or autumn, when the temperature is more suitable and the survival rate is higher. Be careful not to start too early in spring and not too late in autumn, otherwise the temperature will be low and it will be difficult to survive. Also, be careful to avoid rainy days.
2. Grafting method
1. Select rootstock: There are many choices for grafting rose rootstocks, including roses, roses, and Chinese roses. Among them, wild rose flowers are the best, with well-developed roots and strong resistance to pests and diseases, making them more suitable as rootstocks.
2. Selection of scions: In addition to rootstocks, the selection of scions is also particular. Choose varieties with full buds and strong growth, which is more conducive to successful grafting.
3. Grafting: The bud grafting method can be used when grafting. First, cut off the buds and thorns at the location to be grafted, and cut a T-shaped knife edge on the rootstock. Be careful not to Too deep, but the outer bark should be cut, preferably in the middle of the branches, between the bud points. Then cut a bud eye from the cambium layer and insert it into the rootstock part with the bud eye facing up. After completion, use a grafting tape to fix it and wrap the grafted part so that only the bud eye is exposed.
4. Later maintenance: Water thoroughly after grafting, and keep the soil moist for the next half month, but not waterlogged. If new buds grow on the grafted rootstock, they should be cut off to retain nutrients.
