Provide Adequate Moisture:
Water the cutting thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around it. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You can use a misting bottle to keep the leaves humid or lightly mist the inside of the plastic covering.
Place in Indirect Light:
Place the container with the cutting in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it can overheat the cutting.
Monitor and Wait:
Check the cutting regularly to ensure the soil stays moist and that condensation forms inside the plastic covering. This indicates a humid environment.
After several weeks to a couple of months, check for root development by gently tugging on the cutting. If you feel resistance, roots are forming.
Transplanting:
Once the cutting has developed a good root system (usually after a few months), you can transplant it into a larger pot or directly into your garden.
Caring for the New Plant:
Continue to care for your new rose plant as you would with any established rose. Ensure it receives adequate sunlight, water, and fertilizer according to the specific rose variety’s requirements.
Growing roses from branch cuttings can be a bit challenging, and not all cuttings will successfully root. Be patient and persistent, as it may take some time and experimentation to achieve success. Good luck with your rose propagation!
