How to trim roses so that they can cover the entire wall?

Rose is a very beautiful garden flower with the characteristics of a long flowering period, rich colors and beautiful flower shapes. Many people plant it around their walls. So how do you trim roses so that they can cover the entire wall? Let’s learn more about it below.

1. Climbing the wall for several years

Rose itself is a plant that cannot climb walls and needs human help to climb walls. When the rose branches grow to a certain length, you can use human help to pull the branches to the wall. Generally, it takes 3 to 5 years for the branches to grow before they can be pulled to the wall.

2. Pruning time

The best time to prune roses is in spring and autumn. Spring is the peak growth season for roses. Pruning at this time can promote the growth of new branches and improve the quality of flowering. Autumn pruning is done when the rose enters its dormant period, which can tidy up the overall shape of the rose and help it survive the winter safely.

3. Clean up dead branches

The roses need to be cleaned of dead branches and leaves. These parts will affect the overall shape of the plant, consume nutrients and affect growth.

4. Arrange branches

It is necessary to tidy up the rose branches and trim those that are too long or too weak. At the same time, you can perform shaping pruning according to your preferences and the growth conditions of the roses.

5. Pruning branches

Prune it, cut off all the flowering branches, leaving only 2 to 3 buds, and then manually pull it appropriately. If some new growth is growing on flowering branches, the old growth will need to be cut back. After pruning, the new branches will become the main trunk, extending outward and being pulled horizontally by human intervention.

6. Traction scaffolding

There are many ways to help roses climb all over the wall. When the rose branches are relatively short, you can fix them to the wall. In addition, you can also build a traction bracket under the wall to help the rose climb, so that it will slowly grow towards the wall.
