The suitable time for T-budding in roses in North India is? (Technical Assistant 2013)

✅Explanation
In Northern Plains, December – February is the ideal time for T-budding. This is when the plants are actively growing, and the bark is easy to lift for inserting the bud.

Important 🔑Key Points:
-The most ideal rootstocks for rose are 'Rosa multiflora' and 'Nishkant' (Thornless) rootstocks for South Indian conditions and Rosa 'Indica' for North Indian conditions.

🔴Additional information::
-Pruning is an important operation for maintenance of floriferousness and flower quality along with vigor of rose plants.
-The main objectives of pruning are to remove weak and unproductive shoots which allows air and light to reach plant centre.
-It keeps the plant in proper shape and size.
-Forces the plant buds to break and grow to produce quality flowers.
-Pruning should be done when plants are less active or dormant.
-It is mainly done during October-November.
-The basic rule of pruning is to cut half centimeter above the vigorous, outward directed bud by giving a slanting cut because it does not retain moisture and prevents fungal growth.
