Should the rose buds be cut off in winter (should the rose buds be cut off in early winter if they cannot open)

Does the rose still need pruning when it is still growing buds?

When winter comes, everyone is thinking about how to do winter pruning. Winter pruning is very important for roses, as it affects the amount of flowers your roses will bloom next year.

Many flower lovers are anxious to prune the roses when they hear this, and they prune them when the leaves are still fresh and tender, even if they have flower buds. This is not good for the roses. If the roses have flower buds, we should not force prune them, but give them some time .

What are the hazards of strong pruning of roses

If we cut off the rose with flower buds, it is possible that sap will flow out. Excessive sap flow will cause serious nutrient loss, bacterial infection at the cross section, and even death of the plant in severe cases. So it is best not to force prune.

It is normal for roses to have flower buds in winter. Many of my roses are still having flower buds. One of my juice balcony roses has more than 20 flower buds. It would be a pity to cut them off now.

We can keep them and continue to enjoy them, and then prune them when the time is right. Some netizens are too worried about their roses, and always regard them as delicate.

In fact, roses are very cold-resistant and can be seen in the ice and snow. They may still bloom at a temperature of several degrees below zero. So, don't cut off the flower buds.

When is the right time to prune roses?

When the weather just started to get a little cold, a netizen sent me a private message asking when it was time to prune the roses. It was too early. Even now is a bit early.

Some nurseries have already done their pruning because they have a huge number of seedlings and a limited number of workers, so they have to start work early or they won't be able to finish all of them at once.

For rose lovers who grow roses at home, a few or a dozen roses can be done with a few scissors. Don't be too anxious. It's not too late to prune the roses until they are bare.

The roses are still forming buds, which means that your roses are still very active, either because they have sufficient nutrition or sufficient sunlight.

The most likely possibility is that the temperature in your area is not particularly low and the rose has not yet entered a true dormant period. At this time, the rose will still bloom normally and it is still active, so just let it continue to grow.

If the rose begins to dormant, the flower buds that have not fully bloomed will die and dry up before they have a chance to bloom.

I have several roses like this. In the morning, I saw some of the flower buds dried up before they opened. Then I saw that the leaves had turned yellow and began to fall off from the bottom to the top, which meant that the roses had begun to dormant.

Therefore, when the rose is truly dormant, the flower buds do not need to be cut, they will dry up on their own. At this time, we only need to prune the branches.
