How to graft a bush of roses that are different colors

Materials:

1. Two rose bushes of different colors.
2. Sharp knife.
3. Grafting tape.
4. Paste to seal grafts.

Steps:

1. Select the Roses:
   • Choose two healthy, vigorous rose bushes with colors you want to combine.
2. Choose the Grafting Method:
   • One of the most common methods is T-grafting. Make a T-shaped cut in the stem of the mother plant (rootstock).
3. Make the Cuts:
   • Make a clean, quick cut to minimize tissue damage.
   • Make sure the cuts are as precise as possible so that the inner layers of the crust match up correctly.
4. Graft the Rose:
   • Insert the cut end of the rose you are grafting into the T-shaped incision on the stem of the rootstock.
   • Secure the graft with grafting tape or garden tape. This helps keep the parts together while bonding occurs.
5. Seal the Graft:
   • Apply graft sealing paste or graft wax to cuts to prevent disease entry and promote healing.
6. Take care of the graft:
   • Place the grafted plant in a shady location for the first few days to minimize stress.
   • Water properly and care for the plant according to the needs of the rose variety.
