Excerpt from the "Three-Step Method of Rose Breeding" series.
Yesterday, I shared some thoughts and specific pruning methods about pruning roses in winter, but they were all aimed at large seedlings with normal growth habits.
I know that many novice flower growers have mostly single-stemmed roses, without a full growth habit, so I decided to share more about adjusting the growth habit of single-stemmed roses today.
Why do roses become single-stemmed?
Single-stemmed roses are most likely to appear in young rose seedlings, and many people buy rose seedlings that have only one stem with one flower.
Or the original stem is too weak, after a period of care, a strong sprout grows out but is not dealt with in time, resulting in a single-stemmed situation.
Knowing the reason why roses become single-stemmed, we should try to avoid and prevent it in advance during the breeding process.
How to prevent roses from becoming single-stemmed?
1. For seedlings that originally have one stem with one flower, after receiving them, you can cut off the flower and then horizontally fix the stem.
2. For stems that are initially weak and grow strong sprouts after a period of care, it is necessary to pinch the tip of the sprouts in time to prevent them from growing too tall.
The above are simple methods to prevent single-stemmed roses for two different seedling conditions. So, what should we do to adjust the growth habit for roses that are already single-stemmed?
Adjustment method for single-stemmed rose growth habit?
For single-stemmed rose plants, we also need to consider two situations when adjusting their growth habit: one with new sprouts and one without new sprouts.
1. With new sprouts:
If a single-stemmed rose is well cared for with sufficient fertilizer and water, it is likely to produce new sprouts from the base. Once new sprouts appear, they should be pinched in time when they grow to the height of the original branch to promote branching.
If the original branch branches are too high, we can pinch the new sprouts at the position where we want to produce branches. By winter, we can剪 (剪 means cut) and adjust the growth habit again.
2. Without new sprouts:
If there are no new sprouts at all, we can only adjust the growth habit by pruning and repotting in winter.
In winter, after the roses go dormant, first do a heavy prune on the single-stemmed roses, leaving only a few strong buds and pruning off all weak branches.
Then, when repotting, plant the rose plant at a 45-degree angle in the pot and secure it. Tilted planting of the rose branches is beneficial to promote the production of basal sprouts.
After the new sprouts grow out, we can pinch them in time according to the first situation to promote branching.
