Because of their inherent beauty and fragrance, roses are often included in magnificent bouquets.
If you want to keep pleasant memories of a gift as long as possible, you can try to root roses from a bouquet, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist, and a landscape designer.
Let us note right away: the survival rate of a flower is influenced by many factors, including possible treatment carried out on roses, their variety, transportation conditions, etc.
But it is still worth trying to propagate a beautiful rose from a bouquet.
Important: only fresh flowers are suitable for cuttings, so do not put off the procedure for later and start it on the same day you were presented with a bouquet.
The stem needs to be cut so that 3-4 buds remain on it.
After this, immerse the cutting in soil mixed with sand so that 2-3 buds are underground and the remaining 1-2 are above ground.
Water the "plantings" and cover them with a glass jar. Subsequently, water as needed. The jar can be removed when the leaves emerging from the bud grow a little.
Earlier we told you how to rejuvenate an old rose bush without expensive preparations.
