How to prune roses

1. Winter pruning

It needs to be pruned at the beginning of winter. Remove any dead branches and shorten any branches that are too long. This can prevent these useless branches from wasting nutrients, which is very beneficial for it to survive the winter. Don't worry that its branches and leaves will become sparse after you cut them, because it will grow new branches in the spring of the second year.

2. Spring pruning

In spring, some old branches should be cut off first to make room for the growth of new branches. After it grows new buds, cut off the new buds on the main branches. This will encourage it to grow more side branches. When it blooms, it will produce more flowers.

3. Pruning after flowering

After it has finished flowering, it also needs to be pruned. Because it consumes a lot of nutrients when it blooms, all the remaining flowers on the plant that will waste nutrients should be cut off in time after flowering. This can allow it to save a lot of nutrients and quickly recover from the lack of nutrients after flowering.
