At home, hybrid roses can be propagated by grafting and cuttings. Gardeners prefer to plant roses in the summer from late July to early September. During this time, the bud grows together with the stock, and it will start growing only the next year.

Cuttings are chosen from the middle of the stem, not too thick or too thin. Cut into pieces with 2-3 buds. Cut obliquely from the bottom under the bud, from above - straight, 2 cm above the upper bud, removing the leaves by a third. Seedlings can be planted in the shade under trees to avoid direct sunlight. Cover with glass or plastic jars on top. Watering is carried out between shelters.

Further care
For growth and continuous flowering, shrubs need to be looked after: fed with mineral and organic fertilizers containing phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, moisten the soil, cut off branches.
Lack of moisture can lead to wilting and partial shedding of leaves, slowing down the growth of shoots. The flowers become small, the color of the petals fades.
It is recommended to mulch the soil around the bush to keep the plant roots from drying out and overheating.
Roses need pruning throughout the season. In the spring, in the first year, the branches are cut for 2-3 buds, in subsequent years - for 5-7 buds.
Summer pruning encourages re-blooming. Wilted flowers with a small part of the shoots are removed.
Pruning roses
In the fall, the plants are prepared for winter. In mid-October, dry, old and diseased branches are cut, and the inflorescences are removed. In order for the bushes to winter well, they are covered with dry leaves or branches of pine trees, sprinkled on top with a layer of earth or peat.
Taking care of the bright flowers, you can soon enjoy blooming flower beds of incredible beauty.
