How to plant roses from a bouquet with cuttings at home

Were you given flowers? What about roses? These queens want to prolong their lives, they are so beautiful. So, if you are ready, we will learn how to plant roses from a bouquet with cuttings at home. Everything is easier than you think.

You liked the rose and you want to plant it at home. Start with an inspection, because not all flowers are equally suitable for planting. Conditions:

  • rose fresh;
  • the stem is juicy and green;
  • there should be buds on the handle;
  • the buds are ripe and not dark.

The flower is not suitable if:

  • the flower stands for a long time;
  • the stem immersed in water is dark;
  • cracks on the stem;
  • the skin peeled off in some places.

Do not pull with rooting, brought home and plant immediately.

Only local regional varieties are suitable for propagation. It is unlikely that a Dutch rose will be able to take root, as it is fed with hormones and chemicals, without which the plant then cannot cope. I.

Stages and rules for preparing the cutting:

  1. Cut off the appropriate part at a 45 degree angle - the cuttings are the most mature at the bottom.
  2. Cut off unusable buds.
  3. Cut so that 1 cm remains from viable buds to the cut.
  4. Choose the segment where the leaves will be. It is better with them - there are more chances for rooting.

We put in the water

An easy way to get roots is to put the cutting in water. This is suitable in general for plants, but not always for roses. Be prepared for the cutting to die. If you are trying for the first time and are not going to stop, then put the stalk, changing the water daily. Signs of success - roots in 3 weeks.

Planting in the ground

What will be required:

  • a pot with several holes;
  • soil with fertilizers;
  • rootin.


It is safer to plant a rose in a pot. Buy good soil - special for roses. If this is not found, take it for violets, it is also suitable.

If possible, add moss to the soil. It has a bactericidal effect, which means the plant will not rot; and well passes air, which has a beneficial effect on rooting.

When the land is bought, look for pots with several holes, one will not be enough. If there are no other options, then make the holes yourself. The soil should not acidify, otherwise the cuttings will rot.

Landing steps:

  1. We tamp the soil into the pot.
  2. We dip the stalk in root (any other drug that protects against rot in the ground).
  3. The cutting is immersed in the ground.
  4. Moisten the soil with water.
  5. We pour a thin layer of dry soil on wet soil so that a crust does not form.
  6. Find a plastic bottle with a lid to "shelter" the cutting. Cut off the bottom of the bottle and put the top with the lid on the handle. If there is any other protection, use it, but a bottle with a cap is good in that for further ventilation you do not need to remove the entire bottle, but only unscrew the cap.

Rose sprouted in a vase: how to plant?

If you were presented with roses, and they stood safely in your vase, and then sprouted, then you have a chance to plant a flower, although risks are not excluded.

As we indicated earlier, if the flower is imported, it will not take root - it will not be able to overwinter.

If the flower stands for a long time (too long - from a month), it is treated with a chemical preparation and also will not take root without its initial feeding.

In other cases, it's worth trying:


  1. We cut the cuttings at the bottom at an angle for greater water absorption.
  2. Cut the top off horizontally and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  3. We dip the finished cuttings for 8 hours in a stimulating drug (buy at a gardening store).
  4. We prepare a pot with high-quality soil. You can make your own by mixing peat, sand and earth (1:1:2).
  5. There should be 3-4 holes at the bottom of the pot.
  6. We pour soil into the pot, tamp it a little, moisten it.
  7. We make a recess, plant a cutting.
  8. We make a mini-greenhouse from a plastic bottle.
  9. We put the pot on the light in a warm place.
  10. Spray the ground 7 times daily. After a week, spray 5 times a day.
  11. Open the greenhouse for 5 minutes daily. After a week, open the greenhouse for 8 minutes.

Cuttings root in 30 days. Plant a rose in the garden when it gets warmer.

To ensure that the plant does not die, transplant the plant into the garden in the second year of life. The first year it is better for a rose to remain potted.

For the flower to take root, use a potato. This is one of the landing options, and it is effective. How to plant a rose from a bouquet in potatoes?

What will be required:

  • finished cuttings;
  • medium sized potatoes;
  • priming.

It is assumed that you already have cuttings. How to cook them, read above.

Let's move on to potatoes. Remove his eyes, make a hole in the middle with a knife. We will insert a cutting into it.

It is difficult to plant a rose from a bouquet, even if it is of local origin, because the flowers for sale are grown in greenhouses and when they reproduce, they hardly survive the winter.

When young gardeners ask about how to plant a rose cutting in a potato, they do not always assume that a rose will take root both on the street and in the house with potatoes. In the first case, it should already be warm, in the second case, it is good to grow a flower in winter or autumn.


  1. We dig a trench in the garden at the landing site. We choose a place where there will always be sun, but not a lot of wind. If we are talking about planting in a pot, then we pour a little soil on the bottom, then a layer of sand.
  2. Insert the cutting into the potato.
  3. We place the potatoes in the dug trench.
  4. We bury the potatoes so that they are not visible on the ground.
  5. Put a cap from a plastic bottle with a cap on the handle. Planting with potatoes involves airing the plant every day for 5 minutes.
  6. Watch the soil moisture, do not flood the cuttings, but moisten.

How to plant roses bought in a store

How to plant a rose seedling bought in a store? You intend to decorate the garden with white, blue, pink roses or whatever. The shops sell flowers in two versions:

  • with open roots;
  • in containers.

How to plant open root roses

Flowers with open roots show both disadvantages and advantages. Choose them if:

  • you want to get a healthy bush for sure;
  • planning to plant flowers right away;
  • Are you interested in annual flowers?
  • you don't want to spend a lot of money.

What to look for when choosing:

  • the plant must have shoots (minimum 2) - lignified and long as a pencil;
  • when choosing a climbing rose, there should be no flowers and fruits;
  • roots branched and strong.

Choosing a place to land:

  • sunny in the morning;
  • windless (near the house or hedge);
  • elevated or even;
  • without water stagnation.

The best place for roses is where these flowers have not grown before: there are still enough nutrients in the soil and there are no typical pathogens of roses.

Not all land is suitable for landing. If necessary, dig the ground, adding humus and loamy soil. Add a mixture of clay and humus to the bottom of the trench.

Planting time is spring or autumn.

Before planting seedlings, cut off their weak ground shoots, leaving 3 good shoots with already developed buds. Inspect the roots - we remove weak, damaged or long ones.

Planting roses is done only with wet roots, so immerse the root system in water for 10 hours in spring and 2 hours in autumn. After soaking, dip the roots in a clay-dung mixture (1:0.5) to provide nutrition to the plant.

The soil for planting should also be ready - nourished for 3 months with peat, humus, organic fertilizers.

Drop off process:

  1. We make a hole in the trench.
  2. Immerse the seedling in the soil 2 cm to the grafting site.

How to plant roses from a box

  • do not buy a plant with long and light green shoots - the seedling was stored incorrectly;
  • at the grafting site there will be callus tissue without peeling and delamination;
  • the seedling should not have diseases (plaque, spots) or obvious pests (midges).

Planting times are spring, autumn and summer.

Otherwise, the planting process does not differ from the option with an open root system. Read about it above.

When planning to plant roses in the spring, you can buy them in advance. To keep the plants until planting time, keep the seedlings in a dark place - in the basement (on the veranda or even in the refrigerator) at a temperature of +5.

When storing, do not unfold the roots, except to moisten them if they are dry.

Inspection of the seedling, its preparation, fertilizing the soil before planting - all this is typical, so read above. When planting, the seedling is placed in a recess so that the grafting site faces south.


The seedling is covered with earth, watered, filled with the remaining soil. Near the plant, gently press the ground with your hands so that voids do not form.

At 20 cm, you need to spud the plant and cover the top with a lattice box.

There is no universal planting date, it depends on the region, variety and preparedness. Make sure that the soil has already warmed up, be sure to thaw. It is optimal to plant roses in early May.

If in doubt, plant a rose earlier. The cold earth will not let the roots work, but the flower will not disappear in it. In dry and hot weather, you will already miss the moment.

Now you know how to plant roses from a bouquet with cuttings at home, with a plant from a store, and what are the features of spring planting. Good luck and beautiful roses in the garden.
