If there is a desire to root a rose from a presented bouquet, then, oddly enough, you can do this in potatoes.
Propagation of roses by cuttings in a potato tuber is a long-known and quite popular method among gardeners.
This method of rooting cuttings has its advantages.
For example, potatoes nourish the rose well with moisture, which is especially important for rooting.
The chances of rot appearing with this method of rooting are minimal.
In addition, the minus of the method is that not all varieties of roses can be rooted in potatoes. For example, winding roses cannot be grown from potatoes.
How to root a rose in a potato
This procedure does not cause any particular difficulties.
It is necessary to remove all the leaves from the rose, cut off the bud and about 3 centimeters of the stem.
Do not forget that the cuts should be beveled - at an angle of 45 degrees.
Using a drill, you need to make a hole in the potato of such a size that a rose stem just fits there.
Put the potatoes in a pot with soil sprinkled with a layer of 5 centimeters.
Cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle, and cover the stem of the rose with the top.
The bottle is needed to create a greenhouse effect. You need to water the rose around this bottle.
Very soon the first sprouts will appear, after which the plastic shelter can be removed, and at the right time the rose can be transplanted into open ground.
