Cut the rose clematis a few times now, and one month later, you can have as many flowers as you want blooming!

Rose

1. Cut off sick and weak branches

The high temperature and high humidity in summer are the peak season for roses to get sick... So all sick branches must be cut off and thoroughly disinfected at the same time~

2. Cut off the long branches

The overgrown branches are of no great use and leaving them there will only consume nutrients, so they should be removed. Just leave 3 to 5 leaves at the bottom.

3. Dry branches

After a summer, some branches of the rose have dried up due to excessive exposure to the sun. These branches should be cut off. Leaving them there will serve no purpose and will affect the ornamental value.

4. Shorten the side branches

Do not move the main branches of the rose, you can keep 2 to 3 buds on the side branches, and cut off the rest. Mainly to renew branches and promote the germination of new branches~

5. Climbing Rose

Climbing roses need to be pruned lightly, and the branches that have bloomed this year can be cut back by half.

6. Miniature Rose

For seedlings that have been cultivated for more than one year, they can be pruned in the middle, with all branches cut back to half their height.

For newly grown miniature roses, one-third of their height can be removed.

Clematis

For pruning methods of Clematis, please refer to the Weibo flower friend Mimi-Tong

Generally around the beginning of autumn, clematis needs to undergo a major pruning, firstly to renew the branches, and secondly to prepare for the following autumn flowers.

1. F series and three categories

Representative species of the F series: Large-flowered Clematis, Green Jade, Fantasy Purple, Pistachio, Mint, Cassis, Chameleon, Gale, etc.

Three representative types: red Bourbon, Oriental Morning Song, blue Polish Spirit, Super Jack, purple Purple Cloud, pink Ru Meng, Countess, etc.

This series can be heavily pruned around the beginning of autumn.

That is, just leave 3 to 7 nodes at the bottom of the clematis.

Notice:

Don't prune branches that are growing new branches or have flower buds.

However, the overall autumn flowers of the Avenue series are relatively few, so it is not suitable for heavy pruning~

2. Category II

Representative varieties of the second category: Abu, Akaashi, Andromeda (Andromeda), Anglia (Angelique), Arctic Queen, Elsa, Baltic Sea, Barbara, Barbara Debberley, Celebration (Bee Love), Woking Beauty, Betty Reston, Jewelry (Beer), Blue Light, Star of Burma, Carnaby, Chalcedony, Crystal Fountain, etc.

It is best not to cut young seedlings (those taken from cuttings last year) because their root systems are not strong and they need photosynthesis from the leaves to provide nutrients.

Large seedlings (those taken from cuttings the year before or before) can be heavily pruned, leaving three branches.

Half a month after pruning, buds and shoots will appear.

After about a month, flower buds will appear.

Wait until October when it blooms.  

3. Things to note after pruning

1. Do not apply fertilizer immediately after pruning as it may easily burn the roots.

2. Pay attention to the weather forecast. If the temperature difference between day and night exceeds ten degrees, the minimum temperature is below 25 degrees, and the branches sprout and grow , if any of the following three situations occurs, you can start applying topdressing.

Once every 10 days or so, use general-purpose and flower-type liquid fertilizers alternately. If liquid fertilizer is not available, homemade bean cake water can also be used.

4. Regional differences

People in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions can refer to the above pruning methods.

In the northern region, heavy pruning can be done one month earlier than in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. If you are worried that the temperature will be too hot, you can simply skip heavy pruning and switch to light pruning.

Because winter comes early in the north, the branches of Type II varieties do not have time to grow strong and may not be able to withstand the low temperatures in the north. The weather gets colder before the three varieties have time to bloom in autumn, and cutting them off would be a waste of nutrients.

In warm areas far south such as Guangdong and Guangxi, you can prune one month later. The specific pruning method is the same as above.

5. Pay attention to details

① It is best not to prune on rainy days, and be careful to water the clematis just after pruning it. Water it less, because with fewer branches, the evaporation effect is weakened, and too much watering will easily cause root rot.

② Too many flowers blooming in autumn may affect the amount of flowers in the next year. If the second-class varieties have too many flower buds in autumn, you can pinch off some of them.

③Pruning should be done on the whole plant at the same time. You can leave 3 nodes on one branch and 5 nodes on another branch, but you cannot cut it in half and leave half. Otherwise, the pruned branches will not sprout.

④ When you are not sure whether you should prune it, don’t prune it.
