Grafting roses - instructions for refining roses
Roses can be multiplied well even by a hobby gardener - provided, of course, this comes with a little skill and the necessary expertise to the cause. Most Edelrosen can not grow rootless over cuttings, but should be refined. The reason for this is usually that the noble flowers in contrast to the used pad (usually are wild roses) have only poor habitability, be hardened for a particular climate or adapted for certain soil conditions.
What is the difference between grafting and occulting?
Usually roses are refined by the so-called Okulieren. Only a single eye is cut out of the rose to be refined and transplanted into the documents. When grafting, however, the transplantation of a whole shoot takes place, which of course was previously freed from all leaves and flowers. There are various techniques for this, of which we want to bring you a particularly promising closer.
Grafting a rose - That's how it's done
First of all, select a suitable base for which, above all, healthy and robust wild rose species with long and stable roots come into question. This pad is heavily cut back.
If all went well, the place heals within a few days. However, for this to succeed, you must work very carefully and above all use clean and sharp tools. Ideal are, in addition to a pruning shears, for example, razor blades.
Tips
Roses should always be finished in summer, because then the chance of growth is greatest. If possible, carry out the measure in the late afternoon, so that the treated plant is not immediately exposed to the blazing sun, but instead can recover overnight.
