How to grow a wild rose?

There are several ways to grow rose hips: seeds in a bag, from a fruit, cuttings, seedlings, or by dividing a bush. Let's consider each method in more detail.

Seeds.

On sale there are rosehip seeds from which you can grow a bush. We buy rosehip seeds in the flower market or in a flower shop. Next, we take a small pot of earth, pour the earth, moisten it with water from the sprayer and pour out all the seeds from the bag. Sprinkle with earth on top, about 1 cm. And again pour water.

We cover with a lid, put in a bag or in a large deep container with a lid, thus creating a mini greenhouse. We put the pot in a well-lit place, for example, a window sill on the balcony. We are waiting for the first sprouts, which can be in a month or two.
Periodically remove the cover so that mold does not form.

After the sprouts have appeared, we transplant them into another container, each separately. When they grow up, they can be planted already in the ground at their summer cottage or in the city.

From rose hips.

We tear the rose hips from the bush, usually they are red. We open the fruit and inside there are many small seeds. We plant in the ground using the same technique as in the version described above.

Cuttings.

Using a pruner, we cut off the branches from the bush (these are the cuttings), remove the lower leaves so that they do not rot in the water. We put the rosehip stalk in the water and wait for it to take root.

seedlings.

Seedlings are plants with roots. First of all, we determine the place for planting seedlings. Most often, people plant a wild rose bush near the fence, on the outside or inside, as well as near the house.
Dig a small hole in the ground. We insert the seedling and sprinkle it with earth, spill it well with water from a watering can.

The division of the bush.

Rosehip bush consists of several bushes. We dig up a small bush and plant it in another place.

Choose any way how to grow rose hips. Over time, a beautiful bush grows, which will have beautiful flowers, fruits and a pleasant aroma.
