Do roses need pruning? Pruning method diagram

1. Does it need pruning?

Roses need to be pruned during management. Only timely and correct pruning can allow them to grow and bloom normally. If the plant is not pruned, it will easily grow too tall, consume a lot of nutrients, and will not be able to bloom in the long run. The overall shape of the plant will also be affected, becoming unsightly and less ornamental, and it will also grow poorly and be prone to various growth problems.

2. Pruning method

1. Spring pruning: Spring is its growth stage, and the plant can recover faster after pruning. At this time, the old branches should be cut short because it is difficult for the old branches to bloom. The loss of nutrients should be reduced to ensure that the new branches have sufficient nutrients. In addition, weak branches should be pruned off to avoid excessive consumption.

2. Pruning after flowering: A lot of nutrients are consumed during the flowering period, and timely pruning is beneficial to growth. At this time, you should cut off the remaining flowers and remove the weaker branches. In addition, dense branches, overlapping branches and crossed branches should be pruned so that the interior of the plant can be better ventilated and receive light, allowing it to recover faster.

3. Winter pruning: The plants are in a dormant stage in winter, and proper pruning can reduce consumption. At this time, you should thin out the branches that are growing too densely and cut off the dead branches, so that they can sprout better in the second year and it will also be beneficial for wintering. Be careful not to prune heavily in winter, otherwise it will be difficult to recover in spring, which will affect the overall growth.
