How to prune roses

Rose pruning

The best time to prune roses is in autumn or winter, when dead branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, weak branches, and weak branches can be removed.

1. Winter pruning

At the beginning of winter, it needs to be pruned to remove dry, diseased, insect-infested and overgrown branches. This can reduce nutrient consumption and ensure a smooth winter.

2. Spring pruning

In spring, old branches need to be pruned to promote the development of new branches. After new buds grow, the new buds on the main branches should be cut off to promote the growth of more side branches and more flowers.

3. Pruning after flowering

After it finishes blooming, it also needs to be pruned. The remaining flowers and unopened buds need to be pruned off to reduce nutrient loss and promote better flowering of the plant.

Rose pruning tips

Rose pruning is generally done in late winter or early spring each year. It is not suitable for pruning in summer, and heavy pruning should not be done during pruning. Light pruning should be used as the main method, which should not affect the normal growth and flowering of the plant. Weak branches can be pruned.

Generally, the objects of rose pruning are mainly the overgrown branches, dense branches, and branches and leaves growing from the base. In this way, a lot of nutrients can be saved and the nutrients can be transported more concentratedly.
