How to prune roses to make them bloom beautifully

If roses are not pruned for a long time, they will consume a lot of nutrients. In severe cases, they will not bloom and will also show various growth problems, so they must be pruned regularly.

Rose pruning method

Roses are generally pruned in early spring or late winter each year. Early spring pruning can satisfy the vigorous growth of the plants, avoid affecting the overall plant density, and promote the sprouting and growth of new branches and leaves. Late winter is the dormant period of roses, and pruning can ensure that nutrients are concentrated for plant absorption.

When pruning roses, all the branches at the top should be cut off. This will help the plant absorb nutrients better and promote plant growth. Prune after the flowers bloom, cutting off the dead and withered flowers to avoid nutrient consumption. At the same time, old, dead and diseased branches should be cut off in time to promote the growth of new branches.

Rose pruning precautions

1. Growth period:

During the growth process of roses, promptly cut off the dead flowers and thin out the diseased and weak branches to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the growth of new branches. At the same time, thin out the dense, crossed and overlapping branches of the plants that are growing too vigorously.

2. Withering period:

Roses should be pruned after their leaves fall and before they sprout. Leave 4-5 branches on each plant and cut them short 40 to 50 cm from the ground. Leave 2 buds on each side branch and cut them short to promote branching. For plants with many old branches, heavy pruning should be done to promote the sprouting of new branches and restore growth.
