Question

Give two methods used to grow rose plants by vegetative propagation.

Answer 1

Two methods used to grow rose plants by vegetative propagation are:

1. Stem Cutting: Cutting a healthy stem and planting it in the ground allows it to sprout roots and become a new plant.
2. Budding (T-budding or Shield Budding): To create a new plant with the required features, a bud from a preferred rose variety is grafted onto a rootstock.

Answer 2

In the process of vegetative propagation, new plants are created from stems, roots, or leaves rather than seeds.

1. Cutting: When a stem cutting containing buds from the parent plant is placed in the ground, it grows roots (used for roses).
2. Layering: For jasmine, a branch is twisted and covered with dirt so that roots can grow before it separates from the parent plant.
