How to prune roses

1. Is pruning necessary?

Pruning is a very important step in plant maintenance. If not pruned, excessive branches or branches with diseases and insects will consume a lot of nutrients, which will affect the growth of the entire plant. And after pruning, its flowers will bloom more and better.

2. Pruning time

Best in spring. It is relatively warm at this time, and it is also the season for plant growth. Pruning helps it grow and recover.

3. Pruning steps

1. First, cut off the branches with diseases and insects. This is because, after a whole winter of dormancy, branches with diseases, pests and infestations will be exposed. These branches are a big obstacle to the growth of the plant. They only cause harm and no benefit. They should be cut off completely and not left.

2. In addition, there are those dense, crossed, or dry branches. They can be dealt with as appropriate. Dry branches can be cut off directly. For dense, crossed branches, you can leave some of them.

IV. Precautions

1. The best tool to use is sharp scissors, and scissors specifically for gardening are the best. And it is best to disinfect before use.

2. When pruning, it is best to cut at an angle. The cut made in this way can prevent water from dripping in and generally prevent rot. And it is easier to trim this way.
