How to prune bitter water rose

The significance of pruning

The branches below and in the center may grow poorly or even die gradually due to insufficient light. It is easy to have the problem that only the outer layer blooms while the inner layer is already dead. At this time, it is necessary to prune it properly. The strong branches growing on the top and sides should be reasonable, and the excess branches should be cut off. This way, the space can be used effectively. Cutting off some branches can increase the number of flowers.

Time to prune

When the plant is planted for 2-3 months, the stems and branches are growing well. Timely pruning during this period can also continuously increase the number of side branches. As the number of branches increases, there will be more and more flower buds, and the number of flowers will increase year by year. During this period, you can mainly use the method of pruning the grass short, just lightly cut it. The purpose is to make them sprout new branches.

After 4-5 years of planting, the growth of the tree has been very slow and the size and shape of the whole plant have basically stabilized. At this time, you should mainly cut off the bad branches, those that have dried up, those that are diseased and infested with insects, etc. There should only be 5-7 branches on each main stem, and they should be evenly distributed. This way, the plant can absorb sunlight well, and the whole plant will not be too sparse and have a nice shape.

Precautions

The bitter water rose that has been produced for many years may gradually age. At this time, you can directly perform rejuvenation operations around the time of frost, that is, remove all branches above the main trunk and let them sprout again. In this way, new buds will grow around the second year, and the rejuvenation will be successful in the third year.
