Steps for Propagating Roses:

1. Choosing and preparing cuttings
   🔹Choose healthy rose stems, free of disease.
   🔹Each cutting should be 15-20 cm long and have 2-3 pairs of leaves.
   🔹Cut the stem diagonally, just below a node (the area where the roots grow).
2. Preparing cuttings for planting
   🔹Remove flowers, buds, and leaves from the bottom of the cutting.
   🔹Optional: Dip the cut end in rooting hormone to encourage root growth.
3. Planting cuttings
   🔹Fill the pots with well-draining potting soil.
   🔹Make a small hole and insert the cutting, making sure at least one node is below ground level.
   🔹Lightly press the soil around the cutting and water it gently.
4. Creating a humid environment

🔹Cover the cuttings with a clear plastic bag or place them in a mini-greenhouse.
🔹Place them in a bright spot, but out of direct sunlight.
🔹Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold.

5. Cutting care
   🔹Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering. Use a spray bottle to maintain optimum humidity levels.
   🔹Avoid direct sunlight, which can be too strong for the cuttings.
6. The process of rooting and growth
   🔹After 4-6 weeks, check for the appearance of new leaves and shoots – a sign that the cuttings have taken root.
7. Transplanting rooted roses
   🔹When the roots are well developed, transplant the cuttings into larger pots or directly into the garden.
   🔹Use a soil enriched with compost to encourage healthy growth.
8. Rose care after transplanting
   🔹Water regularly, especially during dry periods.
   🔹Provide 6-8 hours of sunlight per day for vigorous growth.
