1.Proper Timing: Perform grafting in summer when roses are healthy and sap is flowing vigorously.
2.Tool Disinfection: Clean the pruning knife/scissors with alcohol to prevent the spread of diseases.
3.Cuttings Collection: Obtain stem cuttings with three buds. Carve a “V” shape at the bottom.
4.Selection of the rootstock: Choose a biennial stem from the rootstock rose plant. Make a one centimeter deep cut in the stem.
Inserting the Graft: Insert the “V” shaped graft into the rootstock cut. Wrap tightly with grafting tape.
Post Transplant Care:
-Water liberally for 15 days, making sure the soil remains moist.
-Prune the first shoots until the plant stabilizes.
-Remove the grafting tape when the scion grows independently.
-Provide a suitable soil mix and compost substrate.
-Ensure ample space, air circulation and sunlight for roses to thrive.
