Life cycleThe Rosa Warm Wishes, commonly known as the Hybrid Tea Rose 'Warm Wishes', begins its life cycle as a seed, but is more commonly propagated via cuttings or grafting to maintain its genetic characteristics. Once planted, the cuttings take root and form a strong root system. This is followed by the vegetative stage, where the plant develops stems, leaves, and thorns, establishing its bushy growth habit. As the plant matures, it enters the flowering stage, producing large, fragrant flowers typically in flushes from late spring to fall. After pollination, the rose may produce hips (seed pods) that contain seeds, completing its reproductive cycle. The plant then enters a dormant phase during the winter months, conserving energy to resume growth in the spring.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
For the Rosa Warm Wishes, commonly known as a hybrid tea rose, the most popular method of propagation is through semi-hardwood stem cuttings. This typically takes place during the late summer or early fall months. To propagate, one would cut a stem that has recently bloomed, ensuring it is approximately 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm) long. The bottom leaves are removed and the cut end is often dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root growth. The prepared cutting is then planted in a well-draining soil mix and kept moist until roots develop, a process which can take several weeks. A high humidity environment is beneficial for the cutting to take root, which can be provided by covering it with a plastic bag or placing it in a propagator.
