How to prune rose blind branches? Blind branch pruning time and method

Rose blind branch pruning time

Blind branches of roses are usually caused by improper fertilization, improper pruning or improper watering. They need to be pruned promptly after discovery, because blind branches will affect the ventilation of the planting, and will cause the surface of the soil to receive improper light and breed bacteria, so they must be cut off in time.

Rose blind branch pruning method and steps

When pruning the blind branches of roses, you need to follow the blind branches downwards to find a fuller bud, and then cut off the upper branches about one centimeter above the bud. After removing the apical dominance, new branches will grow from the remaining buds.

Things to note when pruning rose branches

1. When pruning rose blind branches, the cut must be smooth, which is more conducive to subsequent recovery. After pruning, you need to apply some medicine to prevent the wound from being infected. It is best to place it in a well-ventilated place for maintenance, so that it can recover faster.

2. If the rose seedlings are relatively small, it is recommended to leave blind branches, and then increase the light, fertilizer and water. As long as there are sufficient nutrients, these blind branches can grow buds, so there is no need to cut them off, just carefully maintain them.
