Rose Care
Once the transplanted seedling is looking healthy again, you can start watering it as normal. Fertilizing a few times during the warm growing season may help your plant grow and bloom if you follow the fertilizer instructions, but keep in mind that some varieties of rose will not bloom at all during their first year of life.
- For ROOT DEVELOPMENT use NPK 12:61:00 (4 weeks - every day in the interval of 1day)
- After 4 weeks, for HEALTH use NPK 20:20:20 (Around the Year - every day in the interval of 1day)
- After 8 weeks, for FLOWER use NPK 13:00:45 (Only at the time of flowering)
Instruction -
day 1 - NPK 20:20:20
day 2 - NPK 12:61:00
continue After 8 weeks.
How to Germinate: Process 1
Rose germination using sulphuric acid
1. Place the seeds in a damp material. Rose seeds typically won't sprout unless they are kept in cold, wet conditions, mimicking a winter environment. Place the seeds between two layers of lightly dampened paper towels, or in a container of dampened salt-free river sand, peat moss, or vermiculite.
2. Soak the seeds in diluted Sulfuric Acid: A mixture of water and sulfuric acid may reduce surface thickness on the seeds. Stir (10 mL) sulfuric acid into 1 cup (240 mL) water. Keep the rose seeds in this solution for at least half an hour.
- Use a strainer and wash it with plain water. Use seeds for sowing or can it for a week.
- A light dusting of anti-fungal powder use on plants for more effect.It will remove the fungus.
3. Leave the seeds in the fridge for several weeks. Put the seeds and moist material in a plastic bag or seedling tray in a plastic bag or seedling trays, and keep them in a cold area or a refrigerator.
- Do not keep them in the same area of the refrigerator as fruit or vegetables, which can release chemicals that prevent the seeds from developing.
4. Keep the seed medium slightly damp. Check at least once or twice a week to see whether a sprout has emerged from the seed casing. Add a few drops of water to each paper towel whenever they begin to dry out. Depending on the rose variety and individual seeds, the seeds could take anywhere from four to sixteen weeks to germinate. Often, 70% or more of the seeds never sprout at all.
· After sprout.....
1. Fill a container with sterile seed starting mix. Small seedling starting trays make it easy to care for many seeds at once. Alternatively, use plastic drinking cups with a hole punched in the bottom, to make root growth easier to view.
- Regular soil is not recommended, as it may not drain well enough and cause the seedlings to rot.
2. Plant the seeds. Plant the seeds as soon as they begin to sprout. Plant with the sprout pointed downward, as this is the root. Lightly cover them with soil, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep. Space seeds at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart to minimize competition.
- Sprouted seeds should emerge as seedlings within a week. Store-bought seeds that do not require home stratification may take several weeks.
3. Keep the seedlings in warm, moist soil. Keep the soil damp, but not soggy. A temperature between 60 and 70ºF (16–21ºC) is ideal for most rose varieties. The seedlings typically thrive on six hours of sun or more each day, but you may wish to research the parent rose variety to get a better idea of what your rose prefer.
4. Learn when it's safe to transplant seedlings. The first two leaves visible are usually "cotyledons," or seed leaves. Once the seedling grows several "true leaves," with a more typical rose leaf appearance, it is more likely to survive transplanting. Transplanting is also easiest in winter or early spring, not during the height of the growing season.
- It may be a good idea to transplant the seedlings soon if you notice the plant is root-bound, with its roots encircling the container.
- Do not transplant it outside until after the last frost.
5. Transplant to a larger pot or outdoors. When you decide to transplant, wait for cool, cloudy weather or early evening when the plant is losing less water. Moisten the seedling to keep the soil around it together. Dig a hole in the new location, large enough for the root mass, then remove the soil around the seedling in a clump. Transfer this soil clump into the new location, filling the hole with potting soil if the ordinary garden soil is low quality. Water the soil thoroughly after transplanting.
- Try to plant to the same level as before. Do not bury part of the stem that was previously above the soil level.
How to Germinate: Process 2
- Put seeds into 40° C water for 24 hours.
- Put seeds into very wet sands or coco pit then it must be able to retain the moisture and to circulate the oxygen for germination. ( Generally, it takes more than 40 days. )
- Move it into the soil after it sprouts.
- Germination temperature: 20-25℃
- Germination time: 40 days
- Growth optimum temperature: 10-25 ℃
- Spacing: 20 * 20cm
- Rose on soil not ask for much, just with some humus soil aggregate
- structure be good training as long as the following three links will make good growth: Rose is afraid o
- Rose is drought tolerant plants, but it is afraid floods. It is necessary use non-glazed bonsai pots of soil cultivation. The principle is "do not pour water on it when soil is not dry. Wet it completely when you pour water on soil."
- Lend a high concentration of fertilizer (especially fertilizers) will result in the death of local rot.
Note:
1. Please seeds stored in a cool, dry place.
2. The seed surface is 1-2 times the diameter of the seed.
3. Cover seeds with preservative films, and then piercing the films to make several holes. Keep seeds covered in the daytime and uncover it in the night. Take off the preservative films when the seeds are half-germinated. The plant will be in a state of dormancy in summer and the leaves will turn yellow. Beginners should better use sand to cultivate the seeds, although the seeds will grow slower in the sand, the plants will be the most vigorous in the future. If you tend to use other kind of soil, try to use the kind with good water permeability, for example, the clay would not be a good choice. The soil should be disinfected by microwave oven before been used. Pay attention: the surface of the soil not to be too dry, which is very important. When watering, all the soil should be moistened and there is no need to water in a cloudy day.
4. The pot could be 6-8cm in depth, it be an earthen basin or a plastic one.
5. The volume of the soil should keep a distance of 1-2cm from the rim of the pot.
