Growing roses from seeds is a rather troublesome task. For a flower to be born, it will take a lot of patience, effort and time. Certain knowledge in this area will also be useful. In this article, you will learn how to grow a rose from seed. Various kinds of problems and difficulties may arise in the process.
Therefore, it is necessary to competently and correctly perform all the steps for breeding ornamental plants of this species.
Collection of planting material
Rose seeds are best harvested from buds that have just turned a light, fresh blush. It is not recommended to pluck completely pink inflorescences. The fact is that the germination of sufficiently matured seeds is very low. To extract the grains from the flower, you must carefully, slowly, cut the fruit into two halves with a sharp knife. Then carefully, separating from the pulp, remove the seeds without damaging them. Very often grains come in different colors. You don't have to worry about that, it's just that some of them aren't mature enough. These seeds are also suitable for cultivation.
Processingbeans
In order to grow roses from seeds, a number of requirements must be met. First of all, the collected grains should be put in a sieve and lowered for twenty minutes into a solution of hydrogen peroxide. This is necessary so that mold does not form on them during storage. You can treat gauze with a solution of peroxide, on which you can then lay out the seeds, covering them from above with a cloth soaked in the same agent. After that, the material prepared for storage should be transferred to a plastic bag and placed in the vegetable section of the refrigerator.
There he will be at the optimum temperature for himself at +5 degrees.
Planting roses with seeds is a very laborious process. Regularly, every ten to fifteen days, you need to check the condition of the grains. At the first sign of mold, they should be soaked again in hydrogen peroxide. After that, the seeds must be wrapped in a new cotton or gauze swab, placed in a clean bag and put in the refrigerator. One and a half to two months after laying, as a rule, the first shoots appear.
Landing
How to grow a rose from seeds? The most important and responsible stage is completed. Now you need to plant the seedlings in personal pots or peat tablets. To prevent the formation of the so-called black leg, the surface of the earth should be mulched with a layer of perlite. Some flower growers recommend treating the material with growth stimulants before planting. This will speed up the emergence of the first shoots and the entire growth process.
Care
Most+ 10-14 degrees is considered a favorable temperature for seed germination. It is highly recommended not to allow direct sunlight on the flowers.
Therefore, the place where the roses are located should be shaded. For full growth, plants need a ten-hour daylight hours. Therefore, it is very important to provide them with additional illumination.
The soil should be watered as it dries. Periodically, you should ventilate the room in which the flowers are located. With the advent of the first sprouts, it is necessary to transfer flowerpots with plants to a bright, cool place. However, direct sunlight is highly undesirable for young roses.
Transfer
So we practically figured out the question of how to grow a rose from seeds. It remains to select the best, strongest and most even seedlings and plant them in a separate flowerpot. Crooked, ugly or weak seedlings should be discarded immediately. In the first year of flowering, roses can be inconspicuous. And this is not surprising.
After all, the maximum growth and development of the plant occurs in the second or third year after planting.
The first bud can start as soon as two months after cultivation. After three weeks, as a rule, young flowers form. Now it remains to monitor their development, feed them with small doses of fertilizers (soluble) and water them. In spring, young bushes can be planted in the garden.
Angel Wings
This Chinese variety is unpretentious. The flower can grow well both in the opensoil, as well as indoors. It is not necessary to subject the grain of this plant to stratification. How to grow a rose from seed? Place the planting material in small pots filled with moist loose substrate. Lightly compact and moisten the earth, and cover the flowerpot with a plastic bag. For comfortable growth, the flower needs a temperature of at least 16 degrees. As a rule, ten weeks after planting the grains in the ground, flowering occurs. In April-May, bushes can be transplanted into open ground.
Rose polyanthus
Growing from seeds requires mandatory stratification. But more on that later. So, a polyanthus rose, despite its small size (about 50 centimeters), is considered a winter-hardy plant. She is one of the leaders in the abundance of flowering.
In the summer, rather small terry buds are formed on the bush, collected in racemose or corymbose inflorescences. Up to 100 flowers can form on an adult plant.
Polyanthus rose feels best outdoors. However, some flower growers grow this plant as a pot culture (seedling method). Rose seeds need stratification. The grains should be placed in a moist substrate, sprinkling them with moist soil and compacting the soil. In this case, the box with the plant must be tightly covered with a plastic bag. Crops periodically need to be sprayed with water from a spray bottle.
First, it is recommended to leave the plant in the room for two weeks, and then move it to a cooler place (+7 degrees). Usuallystratification lasts about two months. Landing in the ground should be carried out in winter, so that the decorative culture has time to get stronger and grow well. When the first seedlings appear, the flower should be placed in a more spacious flowerpot. Plants of this species prefer drained fertile soils and open sunny places. From time to time, the flower should be fed with complex fertilizers, watered regularly. In autumn, the rose needs to be cut. It should be noted that this crop, grown from seeds, is able to bloom only in the second year. Subsequently, she will delight her owners with amazingly beautiful buds from June until the frost.
