Do not randomly prune the weak rose seedlings in autumn
A detailed introduction is about the experience of caring for green plants regarding not randomly pruning weak rose seedlings in autumn. Next, the editor of this site will introduce it to everyone.
About pruning roses in autumn, we have shared before, but many friends still feel at a loss when it comes to actually pruning.
Just the other day, a friend sent two pictures, saying that they felt a bit clueless, so today let's take advantage of this friend's rose to talk about pruning weak rose seedlings again.
As seen in the picture above, this rose clearly did not have good management in the summer, as most of its branches are bare without leaves, and the few leaves it has are also quite yellow. It is still topped with two flowers. So, for a rose in this state, how should we prune it?
For such roses, before pruning, two issues should be considered:
1. Why don't the roses have leaves and have become weak?
The common reason for the rose leaves to fall is the impact of black spot disease. If the watering is not proper, causing the rose to be severely dry or the potting soil to accumulate water and rot the roots, it will also make the rose very weak, and if the root rot is severe, it may even wither.
Therefore, it is necessary to first find out the cause of the rose's bare branches. If it is due to the attack of black spot disease, the black spot disease should be treated first, and then pruning should be considered.
If there is waterlogging and root rot, then it is necessary to control watering, strengthen ventilation, loosen the soil for the rose, and allow the potting soil to cycle between dry and wet as quickly as possible to promote the growth of new roots.
2. How to prune to make the rose recover as soon as possible?
When pruning, it is necessary to retain as many leaves as possible to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption.
Therefore, cutting off the flowers and flower buds is necessary. So, what position should they be cut to?
For roses with bare branches, the rate of photosynthesis is very low. In the case of healthy roots, heavy pruning may lead to new growth, but it may also cause complete withering. This result entirely depends on the individual's management level.
