The main thing to do is to prevent the buds on them from waking up earlier than necessary.
We will analyze methods that will help you successfully preserve seedlings until spring.
Methods of storing rose seedlings
If you have space in your refrigerator, then this is a good way to preserve roses until spring.
The seedlings need to be wrapped in a plastic bag and the open root system is wrapped in wet sphagnum. If the root system is open, the seedlings and packaging are placed in the refrigerator.
The second method is storage in boxes. If you have cardboard boxes, then it is enough to sprinkle the substrate on the bottom, put the seedlings on it, spray with water, sprinkle with substrate and leave it on a cold balcony until spring.
The third method is storage in a cellar. Many people have a cellar or basement at their disposal, where the temperature needed for storing seedlings is set.
In this case, you need to take a bucket, put the seedlings in it and sprinkle them with wet river sand or peat.
