Why do Chinese roses germinate less in autumn?
About the small knowledge of flower cultivation concerning the low germination rate of Chinese roses in autumn, the editor of the website will introduce to netizens next.
Yesterday, I proposed a small thinking question at the end of the sharing, which is how to make Chinese roses germinate as densely in autumn as in early spring? I wonder if you participated. Today, let's talk about this topic, hoping it will give you some inspiration.
How to make Chinese roses germinate and bloom neatly in autumn? We all know that Chinese roses easily enter a dormant state or grow slowly in summer. When autumn comes and the temperature drops, Chinese roses enter a period of rapid growth. However, under normal conditions, Chinese roses continuously sprout new buds from the top of the branches and then bloom.
Moreover, if pruning is not done well, it is also difficult to achieve uniform blooming, or the blooms may be small.
To make Chinese roses germinate and bloom neatly in autumn, like in spring, we need to treat the roses to forcibly change their nutrient transport method, ensuring that nutrients are evenly supplied to each bud for growth, not just the top ones.
To break the nutrient transport pattern of the roses, we need to remove all the leaves from the Chinese roses, making the branches, which were once full of leaves, bare. This way, as the leaves are removed, the roses are forced to change their nutrient transport method, prompting themselves to grow new leaves, thus allowing more buds to sprout.
And these buds will sprout at a very consistent time, and the blooming will also be neat, much more than just pruning alone.

However, it should be noted that this method can only be used on robust Chinese rose seedlings. If the seedlings are weak, this method cannot be used, as it can easily cause them to die.
Also, after removing the leaves of the Chinese roses, it's best to water thoroughly and place them in a shaded area for the first 2-3 days, allowing the roses to feel the change in temperature, stimulating the buds to swell. After two or three days, bring them out to bask in the sun and add fertilizer and water. This way, the new branches will be strong, and there will be more blooms.
The image above shows the effect about a week after treatment. It can be seen that new buds have started to sprout, and almost all the buds on the branches are sprouting.
After treatment, it can be seen that almost all bud points are sprouting on the Chinese rose plants. Does this state resemble early spring? Due to the large number of new buds sprouting, what we need to pay attention to at this time is to increase fertilization and water, ensuring an adequate supply to support the growth of these new buds. If there is not enough fertilizer and water, even if there are many new branches, a large number of blind buds will appear, and it will be difficult to achieve the desired result. The specific fertilization method will be explained in detail in the Chinese rose cultivation series course.
