Sher Ethiopia Rose Farm, known for its high-quality rose production, primarily uses two propagation methods: seed propagation and vegetative propagation (often via cuttings).
-
Seed Propagation: This method involves planting seeds to grow new rose plants. However, this is less common for commercial rose production because it can be unpredictable in terms of flower characteristics.
-
Vegetative Propagation: This is the more common method in the industry and includes techniques such as:
- Cuttings: Stems or segments of a parent plant are cut and planted in a growth medium to develop new roots.
- Grafting: A cutting from a desirable rose variety is joined to a rootstock that has good growth and disease resistance.
Vegetative propagation is preferred for maintaining the genetic characteristics of specific rose varieties and ensuring uniformity in flower production.
For the most specific details about the current practices at Sher Ethiopia Rose Farm, it would be best to check directly with their sources or official documentation, as methods may evolve over time.
