Two cultivars of Rosa thea hybrida were budded on the thornless Rosa multiflora Thunb. rootstock. The buds were cut down from scions in different ripeness phase of shoots (the flower buds closed; outside petals slightly opened; the opened flower; right after falling petals, two weeks after falling petals) and from different places on the shoot (upper, middle, lower part). Ripeness phase of shoots does not distinct influence on number of obtained shrubs and their quality. Good quality of shrubs were obtained when all buds from scions with outside petals slightly opened, with opened flower or right after petals fell were used. By budding the buds from upper part of the shoots the least number of shrubs was obtained, but with higher percentage of the first quality ones. Tested factors do not have any influence on the roots system.
