Rosehip fruits are valued in many countries as a storehouse of various vitamins and minerals. Therefore, owners of dachas and private houses, with at least small patches of land adjacent to them, often think about how to plant a rose hip so that it pleases as a hedge and a supplier of a fortified food supplement. Having decided to plant a rosehip on your own plot, it is necessary to study the main features of the cultivation of this type of shrub, in particular, the ways of planting it and preparing the planting material for a simple operation.

Many summer residents and owners of suburban homesteads, having decided to plant rosehips, prefer the seed method of its cultivation. The increased chances of success in this case can be laid at the very beginning, directly at the stage of seed preparation. Strangely enough, in order to successfully plant rosehips, it is better to collect seeds not from ripe fruits, but from those that are slightly not ripe. Their seeds have not yet hardened the shell, which is important for their planting. Fruits for this purpose are harvested approximately in August. Those that are still brown or slightly reddish are suitable.

It will be possible to plant rosehip from those seeds that have previously passed the so-called stratification. This operation is necessary to pre-soften their shell and obtain a condition suitable for planting. Remove the seeds intended for planting rosehip from the pulp, rinse thoroughly and, without even letting them dry, mix in approximately equal proportions with coarse wet sand. Place the resulting mass in the refrigerator and stir occasionally. Such planting material should be stored in a similar condition for about 2 months.

It is most advisable to plant rosehips propagated by the seed method in autumn, approximately in October. It is better to plant not immediately in open soil, but in boxes filled with a mixture of three parts of ordinary river sand and one part peat. Maintain the required moisture content of this soil substrate, preventing it from drying out. However, in a warm enough climate, it is possible to plant wild rose in October in the open ground, no deeper than a couple of centimeters and with a small distance between the rows, so that a cloth passes. Mulch the ground above them with sawdust and/or humus.

In the following months, try to take proper care of your crops. So, in the spring, it is advisable to cover the ground in which the rose hips had to be planted earlier with a film to accelerate the appearance of seedlings. In this case, ventilate the crops regularly. Pluck the shoots that have appeared, water and fertilize in the right amount, prevent diseases and protect against pests.

If you want to plant rosehip cuttings, then cut them green, i.e. from fresh shoots, around July. Divide the branches into cuttings of 3 nodes. Place it in a sandy-peat substrate.

Before planting rosehip in open soil or boxes for growing seedlings, wait for the formation of roots, which usually takes about 3-4 weeks. During the process, make sure that the moisture content of the substrate is maintained. It is advisable to use artificial mist or fine spray installations during this period. Seedlings with good roots should be transplanted into the soil without a film shelter, then they will be sufficiently hardened and will be able to survive the winter. However, it is worth using mulching of the soil and burying bushes at the roots with snow.

Recommendations

- It is unacceptable to plant a single rosehip bush: most cultivated varieties of this shrub are infertile in themselves and their pollination requires the presence of other similar plants, preferably of different varieties.

- Rosehip seeds are often sown not in autumn, but in spring. In such a case, to carry out preliminary stratification immediately after extraction from the fruit, mix the future planting material with wet sand or a sand-peat mixture (4 to 1, respectively) and send it to the basement, storing it until spring at about 2-3 degrees Celsius.
