- Timing: Perform grafting in summer when roses are healthy and sap flows vigorously.
- Sanitize Tools: Clean knife/pruning shears with rubbing alcohol to prevent disease spread.
- Collect Cuttings: Get stem cuttings with three buds. Carve a “V” shape at the bottom.
- Select Rootstock: Choose a biennial stem from the rootstock rose plant. Make a centimeter-deep cut in the stem.
- Insert Graft: Insert the “V” shaped graft into the rootstock’s cut. Wrap tightly with grafting tape.
Post-Transplant Care:
- Water abundantly for 15 days, ensuring soil remains moist.
- Prune first shoots until plant stabilizes.
- Remove grafting tape when graft grows independently.
- Provide suitable soil mix and compost substrate.
- Ensure ample space, airflow, and sunlight for thriving roses.
