I. Rose Grafting Time
Rose grafting should be done in spring and autumn when the temperature and lighting conditions meet its needs. By mastering the use of soil, fertilization, and water, the survival rate can be improved. In fact, roses can be grafted all year round, but spring and autumn are warm and humid, the grafting period is short, and the branches survive quickly. Successfully grafted roses can bloom beautiful flowers.
II. Post-Grafting Management
1. After rose grafting, the top branches grow too high and too fast, which can affect the growth of the entire plant, so it is necessary to topping, which is to prune the top branches. The rapid growth of leaves during the growing period of roses affects the development of the main stem. It is necessary to cut the excessive, overlapping branches and leaves, and also prune and clean the withered, rotten, and diseased branches.
2. Roses require a lot of water after grafting. In spring and autumn, roses are in the growing period and need to be watered every 2-3 days. In summer, with high temperatures, they need to be watered every 1-2 days. The intensity of fertilizer use also needs to be increased, using diluted nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer every 5-7 days.
3. After rose grafting, the branches and leaves are tender and prone to diseases and pests. Powdery mildew and grey mold are common diseases in roses. Use fungicides to spray and use carbendazim for disinfection and sterilization to prevent diseases.
