What to do if the roses do not produce thick shoots after horizontal pulling
The roses have been horizontally pulled for a month, but no thick shoots have appeared. Is it because the method of horizontal pulling is incorrect?
Key point: To make roses produce thick shoots, it is necessary to grow the roses strong and sturdy, and water and fertilize (G-Y) in a timely manner. Otherwise, the roses will not grow well. Only when the branches are thick and strong, and well-nourished, thick shoots will appear after horizontal pulling. If the branches are too weak and the growth is not vigorous, it is almost impossible to produce thick shoots.
Let's look at the pictures provided by netizens:
The above picture shows the potted roses cared for by a netizen. According to the netizen, this pot of roses is considered a small old tree. After the flowers fade, only these two branches remain. After pruning the flower buds, the branches are directly horizontally pulled. The problem now is that after a month of horizontal pulling, no thick shoots have appeared, and the few sprouts that have grown are very weak.
No thick shoots after horizontal pulling? The roses are too weak, the potting soil is compacted, and they need to be strengthened before pulling horizontally.
Looking at the picture, we can see that the branches are indeed weak, and the sprouts are not full, indicating that the root system has already had problems. The root system is not vigorous, or it may be suffocated. This can happen if the pruning is too severe and there are too few leaves, leading to poor water absorption capacity of the branches and easily resulting in suffocated roots and dead seedlings.
Also, the netizen mentioned that after flowering, only these two branches remain, indicating that the original growth was not good, the root system was too weak, and the nutrition was insufficient. Looking at the potting soil in the pot, I think the reason for the potting soil is very likely. The soil mixture has poor breathability and water permeability, so it is necessary to choose a well-ventilated and permeable soil for planting. I suggest changing to sand to increase breathability.
My suggestion is that the netizen's pot of roses is too weak, the root system is not vigorous, and the potting soil is compacted with poor breathability. Therefore, the focus should not be on producing thick shoots but on how to rejuvenate the plant. I recommend loosening the soil for better aeration or directly changing the pot and soil. Don't worry, prune appropriately, and after potting, let the seedlings recover. Once the new sprouts have unfolded their leaves, apply thin fertilizers multiple times (G-Y). When the growth is vigorous, consider horizontal pulling to promote shoot growth.
