When to prune roses

Time to prune roses

Roses generally need to be pruned many times every year to encourage them to bloom more and better and to grow better.

Generally, pruning should be done once in December every year when the rose leaves fall. At this time, heavy pruning is required, leaving only 15 cm of the plant, and diseased branches on the plant should be cut off.

The second thing is to prune after flowering. Generally, pruning can be done in May after the first flowering. After the second flowering, prune in June/July. Prune in August after the third flowering. When the flower buds grow, they need to be picked off in time so that they have sufficient nutrients to bloom and can bloom in batches.

Notes on pruning roses

It is very important to prune roses in winter. Be careful not to prune too early, as the branches will easily sprout if pruned too early.

When pruning, you should pay attention to the extent of pruning, which depends on what kind of tree shape you want. Different plants have different needs and require different pruning methods, light pruning or heavy pruning, it all depends on the needs of the plants.
