 rose is propagated both by cutting and budding. what is the advantage of these methods in this case.

There are various ways of carrying out vegetative propagation of plants. Artificial methods of vegetative propagation are man - made and developed by plant growers and Horticulturists for commercial production of crops. Some common artificial methods are cutting, layering, grafting and budding.

Cutting is a small piece of any plant organ used for propagation. It is placed in a suitable environment to produce new roots and/or stems, thus forming a new, independent plant.

The advantages of propagating plants using cuttings are

  • The new plant will be identical to the parent plant.
  • Keep the special characteristics of that plant.
  • It is an easy and quick method. Because some seeds are difficult to germinate, taking two to three years for the seedling to appear.
  • Plant grown from a cutting mature faster and produce flowers sooner than a plant grown from a seed.

Advantages of Cuttings

  • Both propagation methods are commonly used and both have a high success rate as long as proper techniques are used. Propagation using cuttings is ideal because roses in general grow easier and healthier on established root structures than when they have to develop new root structures. Older varieties are particularly well-suited to propagation by cuttings since they have already become well-established in the growing region. If you live in a particularly cold climate or will be unable to store the cutting in ideal conditions until planting time, propagation by cuttings may not be the best option for you.

Advantages of Bud Grafting

  • The advantage of bud grafting is that by combining genetic material from two different types of roses, you can create wholly new varieties that you would not be able to find in a nursery. Arguably the biggest disadvantage of bud grafting is that it is more costly, requires more skill and is more time consuming than other rose propagation methods. A novice gardener or those that are inexperienced in rose propagation may opt for a less complex technique. If bud grafting is performed correctly, however, you will be rewarded with healthy and diverse roses.
