The cut rose has sprouted, what should I do? Rooting planting material in water

Hello readers!

Rose is a very whimsical and difficult to grow flower. But this is at first glance. Today we will show you how to grow a rose from scratch, from a twig or cutting.

Which rose to choose?

It is best to choose a domestic flower for growing roses from cuttings; you should refuse foreign ones.

Roses from other countries are often treated with products that seem to freeze them. This is bad and the rose may not grow.

Also pay attention that there are 2-3 buds on one cutting that you pick. It is important!

The stem should be neither thick nor thin.

Preparing the cuttings.

Cut the cuttings from the flower stem and leave a length of approximately 20-30 cm.

Remove all leaves and buds from the cuttings, cut off the thorns.

Cut the lower part of the cutting at an angle of 45 degrees, and the upper part straight and lubricate it with wax.

Prepare a manganese solution and soak the cuttings in it for a day to disinfect them.

Growing roses in the ground

Treat the container where you will plant the rose with potassium permanganate and dry it. Place drainage at the bottom and then soil.

Carefully plant the prepared cuttings 2-3 cm into the ground. There should be two buds left at the top.

Place on container plastic bottle to create a greenhouse effect. Water occasionally, but do not overwater the cutting. When the first leaf appears, the jar can be removed.

Growing roses in potatoes

Potatoes will create an ideal moist environment for the cuttings and provide the flower with all the beneficial substances.

Remove all the eyes from the potatoes, wash them and dry them.

Use a knife to make a hole and insert the rose into the potato. Place the potatoes in a pot in the ground and dig in a little. Cover with a jar or bottle greenhouse effect. Water every day with plain water and once a week with sweet water.

When the first leaf appears, remove the jars. Then you can transplant the rose into a permanent pot.

The desire to have one near country house a real rose garden is quite feasible even without buying expensive seedlings. It turns out that you can start growing roses by simply germinating cuttings and shoots. You can ask for a shoot from neighbors who already have roses growing, or, having received a bouquet of ripe roses as a gift, take advantage of the moment and sprout several shoots. Thus, knowing how to plant a rose shoot, you can start a lovely flowerbed that will become a real decoration of the yard.

Preparing the cuttings. The cutting is created and prepared for planting quite simply. Taking the stem of a living rose, we cut out several segments of 10 - 15 cm in length. The bottom edge of each cutting should be trimmed to acute angle(about 45 degrees), and the top one - with an even cut. On each segment you need to remove the leaves and thorns in the lower part, and cut both of them about halfway in the upper part. The result is a kind of blank that now needs to be prepared for planting. Before planting the shoot, it is necessary to burn its upper cut with brilliant green or potassium permanganate. The lower cut must be placed in a special solution of a root growth stimulator (root, ribava, HB-101, or others) and left overnight. We can say that the shoot is ready for transplanting into the ground.

Planting cuttings in the ground. Before planting the cuttings in a pot, the soil should be properly prepared. Firstly, it must be moderately loosened. Secondly, it is advisable to water it with a solution of the above-mentioned root growth stimulants. Thirdly, it is advisable to make a sand cushion on top (a layer of sand 1.5 - 2 cm thick). The rose shoot should be deepened into the ground 2 cm and the soil should be watered with water, which should not be very cold. Before taking a shoot for transplantation into open ground, it should be under a kind of cap made of polyethylene film or a plastic bottle with a cut bottom. The bottle is even more convenient, because through the neck located on top it will be convenient to water the shoot, which should receive sufficient quantity moisture. In addition to moisture, the shoot must also receive a sufficient amount of light, for which it can be kept on the windowsill or regularly illuminated with a fluorescent lamp.

Caring for cuttings and replanting in open ground. After the shoots have developed good roots, they can be transplanted into open ground. It must be remembered that the temperature indoors or outdoors where planting is planned should be above 20 degrees Celsius. Before transplanting the shoot into open ground, she also needs to be prepared. It is best to buy a special soil mixture in a specialized store. After transplanting into open ground, the shoots must continue to be provided with plenty of moisture, and if buds appear on them in the near future, they should be cut off. Well-accepted shoots will later grow into lush rose bushes, the natural beauty and chic of which cannot be matched by any designer bouquet.

Did they give you flowers? What about roses? These queens want to prolong their lives, they are so beautiful. So, if you are ready, we will learn how to plant roses from a bouquet using cuttings at home. Everything is simpler than you think.

You liked the rose and want to plant it at home. Start with inspection, because not all flowers are equally suitable for planting. Conditions:

  • fresh rose;
  • the stem is succulent and green;
  • there should be buds on the cuttings;
  • the buds are ripe and not dark.

The flower is not suitable if:

  • the flower lasts a long time;
  • the stem immersed in water is dark;
  • there are cracks on the stem;
  • In some places the skin peeled off.

Don’t delay rooting, bring it home and plant it right away.

Only local regional varieties are suitable for propagation. It is unlikely that it will be possible to engraft a Dutch rose, since it is fed with hormones and chemicals, without which the plant cannot cope later. I.

Stages and rules for preparing cuttings:

  1. Cut the appropriate part at an angle of 45 degrees - the cuttings are the most mature in the lower part.
  2. Cut off unsuitable buds.
  3. Cut so that 1 cm remains from viable buds to the cut.
  4. Choose a section where the leaves will be. It’s better with them - there are more chances of rooting.

Put it in the water

An easy way to get roots is to put the cutting in water. This is generally suitable for plants, but not always for roses. Be prepared for the cutting to die. If you are trying it for the first time and are not going to stop, then plant the cutting, changing the water daily. Signs of success - roots after 3 weeks.

Planting in the ground

What you will need:

  • a pot with several holes;
  • soil with fertilizers;
  • Kornevin.


Planting a rose in a pot is safer. Buy good soil - special for roses. If you don’t find one like this, take it for violets, it’s also suitable.

If possible, add moss to the soil. It has a bactericidal effect, which means the plant will not rot; and allows air to pass through well, which has a beneficial effect on rooting.

When the land is purchased, look for pots with several holes; one will not be enough. If there are no other options, then make the holes yourself. The soil should not become acidic, otherwise the cuttings will rot.

Planting stages:

  1. We compact the soil into the pot.
  2. We dip the cuttings in Kornevin (any other preparation that protects against rot in the soil).
  3. We immerse the cuttings in the ground.
  4. We moisten the soil with water.
  5. Sprinkle on wet soil thin layer dry soil so that a crust does not form.
  6. Find a plastic bottle with a lid to “cover” the cutting. Cut off the bottom of the bottle and place the top with a lid on the handle. If there is any other protection, use it, but the good thing about a bottle with a cap is that during further ventilation you will not need to remove the entire bottle, but only unscrew the cap.

A rose has sprouted in a vase: how to plant?

If you were given roses, and they stood safely in your vase, and then sprouted, then you have a chance to plant a flower, although risks are not excluded.

As we indicated earlier, if the flower is imported, it will not take root - it will not be able to survive the winter.

If the flower stands for a long time (too long - from a month), it is processed chemical preparation and also will not take root without its initial feeding.

In other cases, it's worth trying:


  1. We cut the cuttings at the bottom at an angle for greater water absorption.
  2. Cut the top part horizontally and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  3. We dip the finished cuttings for 8 hours in a stimulating preparation (buy at a gardening store).
  4. Prepare a pot with high-quality soil. You can make your own by mixing peat, sand and soil (1:1:2).
  5. There should be 3 - 4 holes at the bottom of the pot.
  6. Pour soil into the pot, tamp it down a little, and moisten it.
  7. We make a hole and plant the cutting.
  8. We make a mini-greenhouse from a plastic bottle.
  9. Place the pot in the light in a warm place.
  10. Spray the soil 7 times daily. After a week, spray 5 times a day.
  11. Open the greenhouse for 5 minutes every day. After a week, open the greenhouse for 8 minutes.

Cuttings take root after 30 days. Plant roses in the garden when the weather warms up.

To ensure that the plant does not die, replant the plant in the garden in its second year. For the first year, it is better for the rose to remain potted.

To make the flower take root, use potatoes. This is one of the planting options, and it is effective. How to plant a rose from a bouquet in potatoes?

What you will need:

  • ready cuttings;
  • medium sized potatoes;
  • priming.

It is assumed that you already have cuttings. Read above on how to prepare them.

Let's move on to potatoes. Remove its eyes and make a hole in the middle with a knife. We will insert the cutting into it.

Planting a rose from a bouquet, even if it is of local origin, is difficult, because flowers for sale are grown in greenhouses and, when propagated, they hardly survive the winter.

When young gardeners ask about how to plant rose cuttings in potatoes, they do not always assume that potatoes the rose will take root both on the street and in the house. In the first case, it should already be warm; in the second case, it is good to grow the flower in winter or autumn.


  1. In the garden, we dig a trench at the planting site. We choose a place where there will always be sun, but not a lot of wind. If we are talking about planting in a pot, then add a little soil to the bottom, then a layer of sand.
  2. Insert the stalk into the potato.
  3. Place the potatoes in the dug trench.
  4. We bury the potatoes so that they are not visible on the ground.
  5. Place a cap made of a plastic bottle with a lid on the cutting. Planting with potatoes involves ventilating the plant every day for 5 minutes.
  6. Monitor the soil moisture, do not overwater the cuttings, but moisten them.

How to properly plant roses bought in a store

How to plant a rose seedling bought in a store? Do you intend to decorate the garden with white, blue, pink roses or any others. Flowers are sold in stores in two versions:

  • with open roots;
  • in containers.

How to Plant Bare Root Roses

Flowers with bare roots have both disadvantages and advantages. Choose them if:

  • you want to be sure to get a healthy bush;
  • Do you plan to plant flowers right away?
  • Are you interested in annual flowers?
  • you don't want to seriously spend money.

What to look for when choosing:

  • the plant must have shoots (at least 2) - woody and long as a pencil;
  • when choosing climbing rose there should be no flowers or fruits;
  • the roots are branched and strong.

Choosing a landing site:

  • sunny in the morning;
  • windless (near a house or fence);
  • elevated or flat;
  • without standing water.

The best place for roses is where these flowers did not grow before: there is still enough in the soil nutrients and there are no typical rose disease pathogens.

Not all land is suitable for planting. If necessary, dig up the soil, adding humus and loamy soil. Add a mixture of clay and humus to the bottom of the trench.

The time for planting is spring or autumn.

Before planting seedlings, cut off their weak ground shoots, leaving 3 good shoots with already developed buds. Inspect the roots - remove any weak, damaged or long ones.

Roses are planted only with wet roots, so immerse root system in water for 10 hours in spring and 2 hours in autumn. After soaking, dip the roots in a clay-manure mixture (1:0.5) to provide nutrition to the plant.

The soil for planting must also be ready - nourished for 3 months with peat, humus, and organic fertilizers.

Disembarkation process:

  1. We make a hole in the trench.
  2. We immerse the seedling in the soil 2 cm to the grafting site.

How to plant roses from a box

  • do not buy a plant with long and light green shoots - the seedling was stored incorrectly;
  • at the grafting site there will be callus tissue without peeling or delamination;
  • The seedling should not have diseases (plaques, spots) or obvious pests (midges).

The time for planting is spring, autumn and summer.

Otherwise, the planting process does not differ from the option with an open root system. Read about this above.

When planning to plant roses in the spring, you can buy them in advance. To preserve plants until planting time, keep the seedlings in a dark place - in the basement (on the veranda or even in the refrigerator) at a temperature of +5.

When storing, do not unwrap the roots, except to moisten them if they are dry.

Inspecting the seedling, preparing it, fertilizing the soil before planting - all this is typical, so read above. When planting, the seedling is placed in a hole so that the grafting site faces south.


The seedling is covered with earth, watered with water, and topped up with the remaining soil. Near the plant, gently press the soil with your hands so that voids do not form.

At 20 cm you need to hill up the plant and cover the top with a lattice box.

There is no universal planting date; it depends on the region, variety and preparedness. Make sure that the soil has already warmed up and thawed. It is optimal to plant roses in early May.

When in doubt, plant your rose earlier. Cold soil will not allow the roots to work, but the flower will not disappear in it. In dry and hot weather, you will already miss the moment.

Now you know how to plant roses from a bouquet using cuttings at home, with a plant from a store, and what are the features spring planting. Good luck and beautiful roses in the garden.

Rooting a purchased rose is not so easy, but it is quite possible. The success of this operation will vary depending on the origin of the rose, its variety and the quality of pre-sale preparation. If the rose was cut a long time ago and was treated with special preservatives for better preservation, it is unlikely to be rooted. If the rose is fresh, you can try this. However, even in this case, growing a chic rose bush It’s unlikely to work in the garden - greenhouse roses are grown for cutting, unadapted to the conditions open ground and harsh winter. If you don’t want to plant a rose, you can try to root it in different ways.

Method one

After the buds wither, you need to cut cuttings from the stems, for this you will need a sharp razor. Several cuttings can be prepared from one pink stem; three buds should be left on each section of the stem. The lower cut is made under the leaf, it must be done at an angle of 45 degrees, and the upper one must be made above the bud and made perpendicular to the trunk. Bottom sheets need to be torn off, the top ones can be left.

Then you should put the cuttings in a solution of “Heteroauxin” or “Kornevin” for 10-12 hours, then plant them in nutrient soil obliquely at an angle of 30 degrees, deepening them to the middle bud. The soil around the cuttings needs to be squeezed and watered. Each cutting should be covered with a plastic bottle cut in half with the cap unscrewed (for ventilation).

To maintain the desired microclimate, the cuttings should be sprayed periodically warm water and water without letting the substrate dry out. After 3-4 weeks, fresh shoots will appear from the buds, and miniature roots will form on the roots. After another 2-3 weeks, you can transplant the seedlings to permanent place in the garden or in a large pot.

Second way

For rose cuttings, the same technology is used, but then the cuttings should be placed in water with a Heteroauxin solution in a bright place, without direct access. sun rays. It is better to take a tall plastic bottle so that the cuttings fit entirely in it. This will also create a microclimate with high humidity, which is necessary for the formation of roots. After 2-3 weeks, a white growth forms on the lower edge of the cuttings - callus, which is the rudiments of roots.

After this, the cuttings are planted in a pot and grown to optimal condition. This method is more labor-intensive and does not always give the desired result. However, the first method does not guarantee success. It is better to use both methods simultaneously to increase the chances of a successful outcome of the operation. Great importance has the cutting time, as well as the characteristics of the rose variety that is supposed to be propagated. Best time for this procedure - the second half of summer and the beginning of autumn. Get it in winter good results It's unlikely to succeed.
